The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1878-06-18


Many imagine all advertised medi-
cines to be worthless nostrums, and indis
crimnately condemn them; but is it not an
in Justice to the thousands of respectable
citizens who give voluntary evidence of
benefits received, to thus question and
doubt their veracity and integrity? Fair
banks standard scales are extensively ad
vertised. Does it necessarily follow that
they are inferior in make, and less accurate
than others? Have they not been demon
strated to be among the best? Again, is it
common sense to suppose that physician
with capital could be induced to hazard it
and hard earned reputation upon worth
less article? r. Y. Pierce, NJ, D.. of the
Worlds Dispensary and InvaIids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, is the proprietor of the most
popular family medicines in the market.
His reputation as skillful surgeon and
physician has been fully established for
many years. Would physicians and clergy,
after having tested his medicines thoroughly,
unite in commencing them to the afflicted,
if they possessed no merit? The undersign.
ed take pleasure in recommending DR..
Pierce and his Family Medicines to all who
may need them:

A Newspaper Wonder
The Advocate, Greenback, Labor pa
per published in New York has created a
marked excitement among publishers. 1t
was begun in May, 1875, as a local paper at
Spring Valley, Rockland county, and on
January 1st, 1877, removed to New York.
The first issue in that year was 43S copies,
using twenty-five pounds of white paper,
postage fifty cents, while the issue Of May
22d instant was $4,000, using near nine tons
of white paper and paying $500 postage.
This has been done by discreet but bold
method of advertising. The company ex.
pect to reach a circulation OF 2,UU0,UOO IN
1880, and propose to expend 100000 in adj
vertising to secure that end. 1t during the
months of June, July, August and Se2tem-
Der puts its advertisement of one column
into $500 papers, including the city dailies.
If business men would take courage and
show fai:!. IN printers ink much could be
done to dissipate hard times by reyiying
business.
