about nine hundred large pages, profusely
illustrated with Wood Engravings and Col
ored plates, and wen and strongly bound

One Dollar and Fifty Cents-making it the
cheapest book erer offered TO the American

and not nearly as well illustrated. with no
colored plates. and some of them containing
no prescriptions and making known no
means of self-cure for the diseases which
they discuss, sell for from three dollars and
a half to five dollars. We're DIR. Pierce's
Work not published by the author, printed
and bound with his own machinery, and
we're it sold through agents, as other like
works are, the price OF il would have to be
not less than four dollars. For when the
publisher pays the author fair price fer
his production, then adds profit TO his in
yestment large enough to satisfy himself
andcompensate him, not only for his labor,
but also for the risk ofpecuniary loss which
he assumes in taking the chances of the
enterprise proving a success, and when the
State, County and canvassing agent has
each received his profit, they have added
to the expense of book, that originally
cost about 81 .25, so much that the people
have to pay not less than S4 for it. The
Peoples Medical Adviser, on the contrary,
is placed within the pecuniary reach of all
classes by the author, who adopts the plan
of the Changers, dispensing with middle
men and giving the benefit of their profits
to the people, Offering bis book at a price
little above actual cost of publication. That
those desirieg the book may run no risk Of
losing their money in sending it through
the mails, the author adveriises that money
addressed to him at Buffalo, n. y, and in
closed in registered letters, may be at his
risk Of loss. The authors large correspon-

writing the Work, by rendering him very
familiar with the every day medical needs
of the people. He endeavors in this Work
to answer all the numerous questions re-
lating to health and disease that have been
addressed to him by the people from all
parts of the land, and hence it contains i'm
