The SUCCESSFUL PhJs:ciln.

FROM ts ~. Ions Globe.
There is probably no man 10 whom
the community owes so much rs to the
honest, fair-spollen physician, who does
ms actual duty both tohimseif and to his
patients. Really skilltuI physicians are
not SO numerous that their virtues need
no mention, and hence the advertise
ment OF Dr.. L. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo,
raay well claim the readers attention.
DR.. Pierce is type of Il class OF mer
who obtain success by careful and we'll
directed effort, not attempting TOO much,
or creating false ideas lis to ability. The
only reliable physician in these DAYS Of
complicated disorders and high pressure
living Is the specialist" the man who
understands his one branch of the bust
ness. Such in his line Is DR.. Picrce.
For the benefit eff his readers he has
written Il Common SenSs Medical AID
wiser" which is well worth reading by
those who need such work. With
strict business bonor, high professional
skill, reasonable fees, and large corps
of competent assistants, DR.. Pierce will
doubtless make his name familiar 81

Union forces. 1t will be a blunder
worse than crime If the warning is not
beeded. Is the present condition of the
South what was expected when the reb-
ell troops were sent 10 their homes, and
the leaders of the rebellion spared Let
soldiers look 10 this. The rebellion was
doubted until it broke out. The South
has never ceased the rebellion from the
passage OF the first Republican amnesty
bill. It then took heart, and has nerer
abandoned its purpose. The difference
between 1861 and 1876 is that treason
was ready for the fray, and the North
was not. To-day the South is said to
be disarmed, but disloyalty kles, and
produces class of men that have no
love OF country; no pride. in her tree in
situations; who think civilization incom-
plete without slavery, and who must be
suppressed for tho safety OF the nation.
