success is never achieved without merit. a
man may make q poor article and sell 1t once, and
there being 40 100000 people in the United States,
the sale to each one will be enough to make de-
cent fortune. But an article that holds the field
year after year, and the sales of which increase
regularly and rapidly, must have absolute merit.
DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n T., occupies
entire eighth page to-day with his various ar
and know of his articles. We know him to lie a
regularly educated physician, whose diploma
hangs on the wall of his office, and we know that
he has associated with him several of the most
eminent practitioners in the country. We know
that parties consult him, by mail and in person,
from all the States in the Union every day. and that
they are fairly and honestly dealt with.
This grand result has been accomplished by
two agencies-good, reliable articles-articles
which, once introduced, work easily their own
way-and splendid business management. They
have succeeded because they ought to have sue
