Work not published by the authos. printed
and bound with HE own machinery. and we're
it sold through agents, as other like works
are, the price of it would hSve to be not less
that four dollars. For when the publisher
pays the author fair price for his production,
then adds profit to his Investment large
enough to satisfy himself and compensate him,
not only for his lalor, but also Cor the risk of
pecuuiary loss which he assumes in taking the
chances of the enterprise proving a success,
and when the State, County and cauvassing
agent has each received his profit, they have
added to the expense of book, that originally
cost about SIPS, SO much that the people
have to pay not less than $500 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, dispensing with middle men and
giving the benefit of their profits tn the peo
pie, Offering his. book at price little above
actua! cost of publication. That those de-
string the b"ok may run no risk of losing
their money in sending it through the mails,
the author ndver'ises that money addressed to
him at Buffalo, N. z, and inclosed in regis
tered letters, may be at bis risk of loss The
authors large correspondence with the people

aud skillful medical assistants and short hand
reporiers to enable him to entertain and an
