in Edinburg, spoke in favor of the
scheme of Francis Vincent, Esq, of
this city, Of an Anglo.Saxon Confeder

The English Parliament, sends to Mr..
Vincent, the following letter in rela.
tion to the matter:
REFORM CLUE, LONDON, Nov. :, 1876.
My Dear AR. Vincent: ] send you the

you to see Mr.. Fosters speech, and
the leading article thereon. You who
are the father of this grand scheme for
the Federation of the English Speaking
Races, will be gratiticd to find that a
man like Foster takes similar views
with your own. This great scheme he
has on his mind, must be worked only
by good men in England, and in the
United States of America, and in our
Colonies. If the idea takes root In the
United States, it will grow, and years
hence, the world will reap the benefit
Of your teaching. But England and
our colonies could do but little if they
object. 1t is we'll to look forward tc
the future, and Mr. Foster is doing In
England, what you have labored te
accomplish in the United States.
want you to send me copies of al
the documents and lectures you have
on hand-in order that may lay then
before Mr. Foster. know you had ,

and although 1t may not as a whole
be approved here, it will serve as I

4 Remarkable Professional Succ..s


Among the notable professional men of
this country who have achieved extra
ordinary success is DR.. X. V. Pierce. of
Buffalo, n. \. The prominence which
he has attained has been reached through
strictly legitimate means, and, so far,
therefore, he deserves the enviable repu
tation which he enjoys. This large
measure of success is the result OF a
thorough and careful preparation for his
calling, and extensive reading during a
long and unusually large practice, which
have enabled him to gain high commen-
datlon. even from his professional breth-
rem. Devoting his attention to certain
speclalties OF the science he has so care
fully investigated, he has been rewarded
in remarkable degree. In these spc-
cialties, he has become recognized lead
er. Not few of the remedies prescribed
by him have. it is said, been adopted
and prescribed by physicians in their pri-
vate practice. His pamphlets and larger
works have been received as useful con-
tribr tions to medical knowledge. He
has recently added another, and perhaps
more important work, because of more
general application, to the list of his
published writings. This book, entitled
The Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser, is designed to enter into gen
eral circulation. DR.. Pierce has received
acknowledgements and honors from many
sources, and especially scientific degrees
from two of the first medical institutions
in the land,
