American Genius. Moody and Sankey

The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, who electrified staid old England
with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are fair
samples of American genius. Springing from
among the common people, their sympathies
are alive to the wants of the whole 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. To this fact we may trace
the grand success in business, as well as in re-
hgious undertakings, which many Americans
bavo achieved. Strikingly illustrative of these
suggestions is that great testablishment located
at Buffalo, N. Y, and known as the Worlds
Dispensary'- a most appropriate name, in
deed, for that vast institution, within whose
walls are manufactured remedies which are in
demand in every quarter OF the globe, and at
which q corps of distinguished physicians and
surgeons under the personal direction Of DIR.
Pierce, are constantly administering to the
needs OF thousands Of sufferers everywhere, and
whose success in the treatment of all forms OF
chronic ailments has become 30 well known
that there is scarcely hamlet in the land in
which his name is not familiar. Its proprietor,
says the Herald and TorchIght, of Detroit, sis
man of the people, writes for them, aud to
them tenders his eminent professional SER
vices" His advertisements are earnest ex-
hortations. Like the great revivalists, his
enthusiasm is multiplied by the unparalleled
success of his enterprise, as well as by tho
efficacy of his remedies in curing disease. The
people believe in him and his remedies, be-
cause, as the New York Tribune says, "he
svmpathizes with them in all their Affections.

largely employed as blood and liver medi-

of other Americans, who by their genius bav
advanced step by step from obscurity to afiiu
ence and distinction, consists in treating til
people with consideration, sympathy, cando
and honesty. No man, who hopes to attai
either wealth or distinction, can afford to des
unfairly with the world or be Indifferent to til
wants and best interests of humanity.-UOn
