BY r. V. PIERCE, nj. D., Counselor-in-Chief of
the Board of Physicians and Surgeons, at the
Worlds Dlspensary, Buffalo, N. Y. The above
work. book of about nine hundred large
pages, profusely illustrated with wood engrav-
IL IS and colored plates, and well and strongly
bound-wM be sent, post paid, to any address,
for One Dollar and Fifty Cents-making it the
cheapest book eUer offered to the american Peo-
pie. Other books treating of domestic medi-
cine, of like size and style of binding, and not
nearly as well illustrated, with no colored plates
and some OF them containing no prescriptions
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. Pierces Work not published by the author,
printed and bound with his own machinery and
were 1t 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 fair price for his production,

enough to satisfy himself and compensate him,
not only for his labor, but also for the risk Of
pecuniary loss which b., assumes in taking the
chances OF the enterprise proving a success,

agent has each received his profit, they have
added to the expense of book, that originally
cost about $1.25, so much that the people have
to pay not less than $500 for it. The Peoples
Medlca1 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 addressed to him at Buffalo, N. Y, and
mclosed i'll registered letters, may be at his risk
Of loss. The authors large correspondence
with the people upon medical matters, which
we are credibly informed frequently exceeds
three hundred letters day, and requires sew

shorthand reporters to enable him to entertain

dealings with disease at the Worlds Dispensary.

the every day medical needs of the people.
