Honor ~ Hrs own Land.

Says Comlcy in his recently issued
work, tile history of New York state,
'HTbe day has passed when the benefac-
tors of humanity We're allowed to live
in ignominions povcrty-thcr sacrifices,
their labors, unrecompenscd. To-day,
the bcncfactors Of the people--lhe men
who devote their lives and energies to
the interests of humanily-these are the
and whom il rewards with princcly for
tunes. As an earnest worker for the
welfare Of his iellow-mcn, DIR. II. v.
Pierce has Won. their warmcst sympathy
and esteem. While seeking 10 be their
servant only, he ha, become prince
among them. Yet the Immense fortune
lavished upon him by Il generous pco-
pie he boards not, but invests in the
erection and establishment of institu-
tons directly contributivc TO the public
good, the people thus realizing, in their
liberal patronage, Il new meaning of
that beautiful Oriental custom of cast
ing bread upon The waters. Noted in
both public and private life for his un-
swerving integrity and all those sterling
virtues that ennoblc manhood, DR..
Pierce ranks high among those few men,
whose names the Empire state is justly
proud to inscribc upon her roll of honor.
Ambitious, yet moved by nm ambition
strictly nmenable TO the most discrim-
mating and 'well-baanced judgment,
his future career promises TO be one of
unparalleled activity and usefulness,
ably supplementing the work he has al
ready accomplished, by life at once
noble in effort pnyiablc in its GRAND rn
suit" While Dr. Pierce's genius and
energy have won for him so enviable n
position on the records ora nation, hay
ing been elected senator by an over
whelming majority, his justly celebrated
household remedies have gained for him
a yet more desirable place in the hearts
Of a grateful people. His Golden Med
ical Discovery and Favorite Prescription
have brought health and happiness TO
ten thousand households.
