years ago he was received as. a seeker in

COwardly Assaults.

When candidate for high Office is 80
well liked and so popular with the masses
as to make his defeat difficult in fair and
honorable fight, mean and eowardly men
are not wanting who delight in manufac-
turing lies and slandering bis good name.
There are also those whose selfshness
prompt them to prostitute honor, pervert
truth, and ignore right, for the sake ofin
juring competitor in business, whose
prosperity they envy. and with whose bu
sint So sagacity they have not the talent
TO compete in an honorable way. These
thoughts are suggested by the mean, cow,
ardly attacks made upon me and my med
icines, by those who imsgine their pecu-
mary prospects injured by the great pop
ularity which my standard medicines
have acquired, and the continued growth
OF my professional practice Narrow.
minded practitioners of medicine, and
manufacturers of preparations which do
not possess sufficient merit to successful
ly compete for popular favor, have resort
ed to such cowardlv strategy as 20 pub
lish all sorts of ridiculous reports about
the composition OF my medicines. AL
manacs, Receipt Books" and other
pamphlets, are issued and scattered
broadcast over the land. wherein these
contemplate knaves publish pretended
analyses Of my medicines, and receipts
for making them Some of these publ.
cations are given high sounding names,
pretend to be issued by respectable men
Of education and position, for the good of
the people-the more completely to blind
the reader to the real object in their cir
culation, which is to injure the sale of my
medicines 1.-The Popular Health Alma
nac"is the higl,,sounding name of one
of these publications, which contains bo:
gus receipts, without grain of truth in
them. Not less devoid oftruth are those.
which have been published bv one DR.. l. :
of Detroit, in the Michigan Farmer, and
by other manufacturers Of medicine, in
several so-called journals of Pharmacy.
They are all prompted by jealousy and
utterly fail in accomplishing the object
of their authors, for, Notwithstanding
their free circulation, my medicines con
tinue to sell more largely than any Others
MANUFACTURED in this country, and are
constantly increasing in sale despite the
base lies concocted and circulated by
such knases. The people fnd,that these
medicines possess genuine merit, accom-.
plish what their manufacturers claim for
them, and are not :he vile, poisonous nos
trums which jealous, narrow minded
physicians and sneaking compounders. Of
competing med cines represent them to
be. Among the large number of preten,
ded analyses published, it is a significant
fact that no two have been at all alike
conclusively proving the dishonesty Of
their authors Itis enough for the peo-
pie to know that while thousands, yes,
may tru,hful!y say millions, have taken
my medicines and have been cured, no
one has ever received injury from their
use. RV PIERCE, NJ D,
