American Genius. Moody Il sankey.

The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and Sankey,
who electrified staid old England with their elo-
quence and enthusiasm are fair samples of Ameri-
can genius. Springng from among fhe common peo-
pie, their sympathies are alive to the wants of the
ch0te people, and herein lies the secret of their great
success. Those who seek to be popular must study
and be familiar with the wants of the masses, and
prove loyal thereto 10 this fact We may trace the
dertakings, which many Americans have achieved.
Strikingy illustrative of these suggestions is that
great establishment, located at Buffalo, N. Y, and
known as the "World's Dispensary "a most appro-
pirate name, indeed for that vast institution within
whose walls are manufactured remedies which are
in demand in every quarter of the globe and at
which corps Of distinguished physicians and sur
geons, under the personal direction of Dr. Pierce are
constantly administering to the needs of thousands of
sufferers everywhere and whose success in the treat
ment OF all forms of chronic ailments has become SO
well known that there is scarcely hamlet in the
land in which bis name is not familiar. Its propri-
etor, says the Herald and 1orchlight of Detroit as
q man of the people, writes for tbem and to them
tenders his eminent professional services His adj
vertisements are earnest exhortations. Like the
great revivasts, his enthusiasm is multiplied by the
unparalleled success of his enterprise as well as by
the efficacy of bis remedies in curing disease. The
people believe in him and his remedies, because as
the New York Tribune says, she sympathizes with
them in all their aictions efforts and attainments
day more largely employed blood and liver med
icine, and also as cough remedy, than any other
medical agent in the world. His Favorte Prescrid-
tion he does not recommend as "cure-aIl" as is SO
often done by c0mpounders of worthless, humbug
nostrums, but for all diseases and weaknesses pecu-
cite that it now enjoys great popularity and unver
sal confidence. Dr. Pierces Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, scarcely larger than mustard seed'' have
proved so agreeable and reliable as cathartic that
they are rapidly taking the place of the large nause-
Gus pills heretofore SO much in use; while his Com
pound Extract of Smart Weed is a favorite remedy
for Collie, Cramps, Summer-complaint, Diarrh9a
Dysentery, Cholera and Choera-Morbus, and also as
liniment. Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and Dr.
Pierce'S Nasal Douche, little need be said as thew
are known everywhere as the greatest specifics for
Catarrh and "cod in the head" ever given to the
his lar
Dr. Pierce seems likely to achieve as great renown as
an author as he has physician. His COMMON
SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER, a book of about 900
pages, which he sells at The unparalleled low price of
$780, has already been sold to the extent of exhaust
ing two editions amounting to forty thousand copies
The secret of Dr. Pierces success as well at that of
the great revvalists and scores of other Americans
who by their genius have advanced step by step from
obscurty to affiuence and distinction, consists in
treating the people with consideration, sympathy,
candor and honesty. No man, who hopes to attain
either wealth or distinction, afford to deal unfair
y with the world or be indifferent to the wants and
best interests of humanity.
