The Peoples Common Sense Medi-
cal Adviser, i'm plain English, or Medi-
cine Simplified: By r. V. PIERCE, M.
D., Counselor Chief of the Board OF
Physicians and Surgeons, at the World s
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y. The above
Work-a book of about nine hundred
large pages, prOfusely illustrated with
Wood Engravings and COlOred plates,
and well and strongly bound will be
sent, post paid, to any address, for One
Dollar and Fifty Cents-making it the
cheapest Book eUer offered to the Anae,i-
ca People. Other books treating of do
mestic medicine, of like size and style
of binding, and not nearly as well il
lustrated, with no colored plates, and
tiOns 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 DR.. Pierce's
Work not published by the author,
printed and bound with his own ma
chinery, 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 pub
Usher pays the author fair price for
his production, and then adds profit
to his investment large enough to sat-
iSfy himself and compensate him, not
only for his labor, but 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 a book, that originally
cost about 81 ,25, so much that the peO-
pie have to pay not less than S4 90 for
il. The Peoples Medical Adviser, on
the contrary, is placed within the pc
cuniary reach of all classes by the au-
thor, who adopts the plan of the Gran
gers, dispensing with middle men and
giving the benefit of their profits to the
people, offering his book at a price lit
tie above actual cost of publication.
That those desiring the book may run
no risk of losing their money in send
ing it through the mails, the author
advertises that money addressed to
him at Buffalo, n. ", and enclosed in
registered letters, may be at his risk of
loss. The authors large correspond
ence with the people upon medical
matters, which we are credibly inform
ed, frequently exceeds three hundred
letters a day, and requires several
trained and skillful medical assistants
and shorthand reporters to enable him
to entertain and answer them, as well
as his large daily dealings with dis
ease at tho Worlds Dispensary, appear
to have peculiarly fitted him for wri-
ting 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 relating to health and dis
ease that have been addressed him to
by the people from all parts of the
land, and hence it contains important
Information for the young and old,
male and female, single and married,
nowhere else to be found. All the most
prevalent diseases of both sexes are al-
so plainly and fully considered, and
means of self-cure made known. Un-
like other works on Domestic Medi-
cine, it includes the subjects of Biology,
Cerebral Physiology, Hygiene, Tenn
peraments, Marriage, Reproduction,
ETC., all of which are treated in an or
iginal and interesting manner. 1t is a
compendium of Anatomical, Physiolog-
ical and Medical Science, and embo-
dies the latest discoveries in each de-
partment.
