The PEOPLES Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser, in plain English, or Medicine Simpli-
fed; by R. V. PIERCE NJ. D., Cuunselor-in in
Chief of the Board of Physicians and Sur
geons at the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, y.
Y. The above work-a book Of about nine
hundred large pages, profusely illustrated
with Wood Engrayings and Colorcd plates,
and well and strongly bound, will be sent,
postpaid, to any address for One Dollar and
Fifty Cents-making ii THE CHEAPEST BOOK
EVER OFFERED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Other books treating of domestic medicines
of like size and style Of binding, and not
nearly as well illustrated, with no colored
plates, and some of them containing no pre-
scriptions and making known no means of
self-cure for the diseases which they discuss,
sell for from three dollars and half 10 five
dollars. Were DR.. Pierce's Work not pub
lished by the author, printed and bound with
his own machinery, and were it sold through
agents, as other like works are, the price of 1t
would have to be not less than FOUR DOLLARS.
For when the publisher pays the author a
fair price for his production, then adds q
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 canyassing 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 -
pay notless than 81 for it. The Peoples Med
zeal Adviser, on the contrary, is placed within
the pecuniary reach of fall classes by the author,
who adopts the plan of the Changers, dispens-
ing with middle-men and giving the benefit
of their profits 10 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 ad-
vertisss that money addressed 10 him at Buff
falo, n. Y, and inclosed in REGISTERED let
tiers, may be at his risk of loss. The authors
large correspondence with the people upon
medical matters (which, We are credibly in
formed, frequently exceeds 800 letters day
and requires several trained and skillful med
zeal assistants and short hand reporters to en-
able him to entertain and answer them), as
well as his large daily dealings with disease
at the Worlds Dispensary, appear to have Pc
culiarly fitted him for writing the Work, by
rendering him very familiar with the every
day medical needs Of the people. He en-
deayors, in this work, to answer all the nu-
merous 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
naTrled, 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. Unlike other works
on Domestic Medicine, It includes the SUBJ
jects of Biology, Cerebral Physiology, Hygiene,
Temperaments, Marriage, Reproduction,
etc, all of which are treated in an original
and interesting manner. 1t is compendium
of Anatomical, Physiological and Medical
Science, and embodies the latest discoveries
in each department
