The peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser, in plain English, or Medicine
Simplified: BY II. V. PIERCE, NJ. D.,
Counselor-in-C Chief of the Board of
Physicians and Surgeons, at the Worlds
Work-a book of about nine hundred
large pages, profusely illustrated with
Wood Engrayings and Colored plates,
and well and strongly bound-will be
sent, post paid, to any address, for One
Dollar and Fifty Cents-making it tho
cheapest book ever offered to the
American People. Other books treat
ing of domestic medicine, of like size
and style of binding, and not nearly as
we'll illustrated, with no colored plates,
and some of them containing no pre-
scriptiOns and making known no means
of self-cure for the diseases which they
discuss, sell for from three dollars and
half to five dollars. Were DIR. Pierce's
Work not published by the author,
printed and bound with his machinery,
and were it sold through agents, as other
like works are, the price of it would have
| to be not less than four dollars. For
when the publisher pays the author q
fair price for his production, then adds
profit to his investment large enough
to satisfy himself and compensate him,
not only for his labor, bnt also for the
risk of pecuniary loss which he assumes
in taking the chances of the enterprise
proving success, and when the State,
! County and canvassing agent has each
received his profit, they have added to
/ the expense of u book, that originally
cost about 81 %, so much that To people
have to pay not less than $4.00 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, dis
Ipensing with middle men and giving the
benefit of their profits to the people,
offering his book at price little above the
actual cost of publication. That those
desiring the book may run no risk of
losing their money in sending itthrOugh
the mails, the author advertises that
money addressed to him at Buffalo, N.
.IY., and inclosed in registered letters,
may be at his risk Of loss. The authors
J large correspondence with the people
upon medical matters, which we are
credibly informed, frequently exceeds
three hundred letters q day, and re-
Iquires several trained and skillful med
ical assistants and shorthand reporters
} to enable him to entertain and answer
them, as well as his large daily dealings
with disease at the Worlds Dispensary,
appear to have peculiarly fitted him for
writing the Work, by rendering him
r very familiar with the every day med
ical needs of the people. He endeaVors
in this Work 10 answer all the numerous
questions relating to health and disease
that have been addressed to him by the
people from all parts of the land, and
D hence it contains important information
for the young and old, male and female,
single and married, nowhere else can be
found. All the most prevalent diseases
Of both sexes are also plainly and fully
considered and means of self-cure made
. known. Unlike other works en-
: Domestic Medicine, it includes the sub
= ject of Biology, CEREBRAL Physiology,
1 Hygiene, Temperaments, Marriage, Re
; 'production ETC., all of which are treat
4 ed in an original and interesting manner.
1t is a compendium OF Anatomical, Ply
siological and Medical Science, and
