Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DIR.
Pierce's Family Medicines represent the en-
tire extent OF Ills resources for curing disease
This is an error. Experience proved that
while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favor.
tie Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract of Smart Weed, and DR.,
sage's Catarrh Remedy, would, if faithfully
plants, there would be here and there case
which, from its severity, or from its compli-
cation with other disorders, would resist
their action. These exceptional cases re-
quired a thorough examination into their
symphonic, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use
same. This led to the establishment of the
Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo, N. Y, with
its Faculty ofPhysicians and Surgeons, each
Of whom Is skilled in the treatment of chronic
disorders in general and those belonging to
his own special department in particular. To
one is assigned diseases Of the throat and
lungs: to another, diseases Of the kidneys
OF the digestive system; to another, diseases
of the nervous system and to another, dis
eases of the eye and ear. Thus the highest
degree OF perfection in medicine and surgery
Is attained. The establishment Of this insti-
tuition enables the Doctor to meet q long-felt
want in the treatment Of the more severe
chronic affections. BY careful consideration
Of the symptoms a. given in writing, he sue
cessfully treats thousands of cases at their
homes. Others visit the Dispensary in per-
son. The amplest resources for the treat
pent of lingering affections are thus placed
1t the disposal Of every patient, and those on
whom the proprietary medicines do not have
the desired effect can procure = more Their
ough and efficient course by . personal appli-
cation to the proprietor Of the Worlds Dis
pensary. ~

The Reese River New Reveille, of
March %: ga party of ladies and zen.
tlemen of this city, made a visit, last
evening, to the spring fandango Of the
Piute tribe of Indians, which IS now in
progress: The Indians were found en-.
camped in a circle formed by piling up
brush, and at the time of the arrival
of the party. dancing not having yet
commenced, the children of the sage
brush were distributed within the cir
Gle in various picturesque groups. The
camp seemed to be subdivided into sew
eral smaller camps, in some of which
games Of cards were in progress in
others, the braves were sitting around
a small sage-brush fire engaged in con-
versation, the light of the fire giving a
subdued glow to the various colored
blankets and the painted faces of the
Indians, and forming q picture such as
we have seen painted of gypsy life.
Other groups consisted of families, the
women sitting or lying quietly on the
ground. and the infants in their beds
of rabbit.skins, and here and there a
pair of tiny red.feet could be seen
peeping out from under the skins
catching the warmth of the sage.brush
fire. On the outer edge of the circle a
number of half.grown boys and girls
were at play, running and jumping
through a tire.and their glad shouts and
frisky m0tionsshowed that they were
happy in their rags, and felt not the
lack of comfort and shelter which are
indispensable to the children of the
white man. The first dance being
called, q number of youths formed a
circle around small cedar which was
set up in the centre of the circle of
brush, and commencing a low monot-
Onous chant, placed shoulder to shout.
der and moved with regular step
around the tree keeping time to the
chant with their feet. Gradually the
circle became enlarged, sQuaws and
children falling into it and taking up
the refrain of the chant, till at the
time of the departure of the party,
about 8 O'Clock p. NJ, about so Indians
were engaged in the dance. This
dance, or fandango. as the Indians call
it, is held in celebration of the ap.
proach of spring, being 4 sort Of
thanksgiving for the disappearance of
the snow and cold and the advent of
mild weather. 1t is a solemn business
for Mr.. Indian, and he goes at it in
dead earnest not smile or laugh dis.

progress. The feature of last even

had worn at ono of the masqueradcs
given in town. The wearer felt him.

Of merrlment to the other Indians and
Of awe to the children, who followed
him around as though he were a circus
