The Peoples Common Sense Medi-
cal Adviser. in plain English, or Med
ieine Simplified: By Il. v. Piorce.
II. D., Counselor-in- Chief of the
Board of Physicians and Surgeons,
at the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N.
Y. The above Work. book of
about nine hundred large pages, pre-
fusely illustrated with Wood Engrav-
ings and Colored plates, and we'll and
strongly bound-will be sent. post paid,
to any address, for One Dollar and
Fifty Cents-makIng it the cheapest
book ever offered to the American
People. Other books treating of do
nestle medicine, of like size and style
of binding, and not nearly as we'll H.
Illustrated, with no colored plates, and
Some &c .hnm containing no -r-aserin-
ton and making known no means of
self-care for the diseases which they
discuss, sell for from three dollars and
a half to five dollars. Were DIR.
Pierce's Work not published by the
author, printed and bound with his
own 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 a fair
price for his production, then adds
profit to his investment large enough to
satisfy himself and compensate him,
not only for his labor, but also for the
risk of pecuniary loss which he as
sumes 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 %. so much
that the people, have to pay not less
than 800 for it, The Peoples Med
ical 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 his book
at price little above actual cost of
publication. That those desiring the
book may run no risk Of losing their
money in sending it through the mails,
the author advertises that money adj
dressed to him at Buffalo, \. Y. and in
closed in registered letters, may be sent
at his risk of loss. The authors large
correspondence with the people upon
medical matters, which We are credi-
bly, informed, frequently exceeds three
hundred letters day, and requires sew
eral trained aud skillful medical assist
ants and shorthand reporters to ena-
Bile him to entertain and answer them,
as well as his large daily dealings with
disease at the Worlds Dispensary, APP
pear to have peculiarly fitted him for
writing the Work, by rendering him
very familiar with the every daymedical
needs of the people. He endeavorsin
this Work to answer all the numerous
questions relating to health and dis
ease that have been addressed to him
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 also plainly and fully considered and
means of self-cure made known. I'm
like other works on Domestic Medi-
cine, it includes the subjects of Biolo-
gy, Cerebral physiology, Hygiene,
Temperaments, Marriage, Reproduc-
ton, etc, all of which are treated in an
original and interesting manner. 1t is
compendium of Anatomical, Physi-
illogical and Medical Science, and EN-
bodies the latest discoveries in each
department.
