The following Is from the Buffalo
Commercial, OF Oct. 25i, 1877 (:
Hardly dozen years ago he (Dr.
Pierre, came here, a young and unknown
man, aIinOet Irith,lees, with no capital

indeed that II fNusi be due 10 intrinsic

han TO his unparalL d Kill IN the use Of

once asked distinguished dispensing

The almost universal demand tor DR..
Pierc.'s medicines. lie said they were
in fact genuine medicine,-such com.
pounds as every good physician would
prescribe for the disease which they were
advertised To cure. or course they cost
less than any druggist would charge for

prescription. and besides there Was III.
doclri's lee saved. Moreover. buying
The drugs IN such enormous q anii,.s,
having Iertpct apparatus for purify Ing
and compromising the mixture, he could
not only Get Letter articles IN The hrsl
place. but present The medicine in better
form and cheaper than the same mixture
could possibly b. obtained from any
other source.
1t may be thought that all this having
