When DR.. r. V. Pierce was aoandidate
for State Senator, dis political opponents
published q pretended analysis Of his pop.
ular medicines, hoping thereby to pre-.
judice the people against him. His cleo.

PIERCE came here, young and unknown
man, almost friendless, with no capital
except his own manhood, which, however,
included plenty OF brains and pluck,
andomitable perseverance, and Unborn
uprightness. Capital enough for any
young man, in this progressive country,
if only he has good nealth and habits 40

OF course, they cost less than any drug

and besides there was the doctors fee
saved. Moreover, buying the drugs in
such enormous quantities, having perfect

better articles in the first place, but pres
