ings and ccsored plates, and well ana strongly
bound-wil be sent, post paid, to any address,
for one dollar and fifty cents making
it the cheapest book ever offered to the Amer-

and not nearly as well illustrated, with no col

dollars. We're DR.. PieFce's work not published

as other like works ars, the price Of it would
have to be pot less than four dollars For
when the publisher pays the author fair price
for his production, then adds profit to his in
vestment large enough to satisfy him and
compensate him, not Gully for his labor, but
also for the risk of pecunisry loss which he as
sumes in taking the chances Of the enterprise
proving a success, and when the state, county

The authors large correspondence with the
people upon medical matters, which we are
credibly informed, frequently exceeds three
hundred letters day, and requires several
shorthand reporters TO enable him to enter
tain and answer them, well as his large
daily dealings with disease at the Worlds Dis
pensary, appear to have peculiarly fitted him
for writing the work, by rendering him very
familiar with the every day medical needs of
the people. He endeavors in this work to am
swer all the numerous questions relating 20
health aud disease that have been addressed
to him by the people from all parts OF the
land, and hence 1t contains important infoF-
mati,n for the young and the old, male and
female, single aud married, nowhere else to
be found. All the most prevalent diseases Of
both sexes are also plainly and fully consider
cd and means Of self-cure made known. I'm
like other works on Domestic Medicine, it in
cludes the subjects of Biology, CEREBRAL Phys
ioiogy. Hygiene, Temperaments, Marriage,
Reproduction, etc, all OF which are treated in
an original aud interesting manner It is a
compendium Of Anatomical Psychological and
