When DR.. z. V. Pierce wasH Hc1ndidate lot.
State Senator, his political opponents published
pretended anaiysis OF his popular medicines,
hoping thereby to prejudice the people against
him. His election by an overwhelming majority
severely rcbukcd his traducers, who sought to
impeach his business integrity No notice
would have been taken Of these campaign lies
were it not that some OF bis enemies (and every
lccessful business man has his full quota OF
euyious riyals) are -republshing these bogus
analyses. Numerous and most absurd formulas
have been published, purporting to come from
high authority; aud 1t is u significant fact that
no two have been at all alikc-conclusively PROV
1ug the dishonesty OF their authors.
The following is from the Buffalo Commercial
Of Oct. g, 1871:
ssHaruly dozen years ago he (Dr. Pierce)
came here, young and unknown man, almost
friendless, with no capital except his own man
hood, which, however, included plenty OF brains
and pluck, indomitab1e perseverance,, and in~
born uprshtness. Capital enough for any
young man, in this progressive country, II only
be has good health anu habits as well. He
had all these natural advantages and one
thing more, an excellent education. He had
studied medicine and been regularly licensed to
practice Us physician But he was still stu
|
He discovered, or invented, important remedial
ageucies or compounds. Not choosing to wait
wearily for the sick and suffering to find out
(without anybody to tell tbem) that be could do
them good, be advertised his medicines and In
yited the whole profession, OF every school, to
examine and pronounce judgment upon his for
| mulas. He advertised literally, profusc1y, but
With extraordinary shre'Edness, and with
method which is in itself lesson to all who
seek business by that perfectly legitimate
rneans. His success has been something mar
re1o,1s-so great indeed that It must be due to
intrinsic merit in the articles be sells more even
than to bis unparalleled skill in the use Of
nrinter's ink. The present writer once asked .
distinguished dispensing druggist to explain
the secret Of the almost universal demand tox
DR., Pierce's medicines. He said they were In
fact genuine medicines-such compounds as eV-
erv rood physician would prescribe for the dis
eases which they were advertised to cure. OF
COURSE thc9 cost less than any druggist would
charge for the same article supplied On physi-
cian's prescription, and besides there was the
doctors fee saved. Moreover, buyn. the drugs
in such enormous quantities. having perfect ap-
paratus for purifying and compounding the
mixture, he could not only get better articles in
the first place, but present the medicine In BET
ur form and cheaper than the same mixture
could possibly be obtainel from any other
source
IT may be thought that ALI this having refer
encc to DR.. Pic.ce's private business has no
point whatever when considered in connection
with the proper qualifications Of a candidate Tor
the Senate Perhaps But it is the fashion

Fond of Oysters.

The starish is reddish, looking some
thing like a sea spider. He is connois-
seur and glutton. He has the shape
of a five-pointed star, from three to six
inches from tip to tip, but sometimes
grows to ten inches. The starfish travels
in schools, although solitary feeders are
occasionally to be found. His nOduS
opcrandi is rs follows: A school will
settle down on an oyster bed. Each fish
will tackle an oyster and surround it
with his feelers. When the oyster opens
his mouth to feed the wicked starfish de-
iberately sticks his feelers inside and
pulls out the oyster. Then he eats it and
then tackles another oyster. A startish
can beat any man eating raw oysters.
Last summer and fall they committed
many ravages in the East river and at
Oyster bay. Oystermen now are on the
lookout for the starfsh. They often rake
over their beds and if any starfsh are
found they are raked offand carried ashore
for manure. Sometimes schools of star
fish are found three or four feet thick.
Such school will ruin an oyster bed in
a few hours. Sometimes the starfish will
sail in and spoil an oyster bed and then
go off and leave one next to it untouched.
In every oyster bed two or three are sure
to be found. The starfish commits his
devastations in the winter. They mostly
frequent the East river, City island,
Oyster bay and Cow bay.
