A world-Wide Reputation,

DR.. r. '. PIERCE, having acquired reputa-
ton in thetreatmentof Chronic Diseases result
ing in professional business far exceeding his
individual ability to conduct, some years ago in
dEced several medical gentlemen to associate
themselves with him, as the Faculty Of the
Worlds Dispensary, the Consulting Depart
ment of which has since been merged with the
Inyalids' Hotel. The organization has now
been completed and incorporated under statute
enacted by the Legislature of the State of New
York, under the name and style of the WORLDS
DIsPRNsARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
We clip the following from the Buffalo E1-
press:
A branch of the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso
citation ia to be established in London England step
which the continually increasing European business OF
the Dispensary has been found to warrant and next
week Dr. b. L. BEDORTHA will sail for the great me-
tropos named to superintend the organization of the
new institution This gentleman has been for some
four associated with DR. PIERCE In position OF
responsibility, and is we'll qualified for the duty en-
trusted to him. Heretofore the foreign business of the
Worlds Dispensary has been transacted through the
agency of prominent druggists, but it has assumed
such proportions to require direct care. DR.
BEDoRTHA will doubt successfully carry out his mis-
sion, being gentleman of excellent business abilities
and most pleasing address.

It has been said that g the blood is the source
of life" 1t is as truly the source of disease
and death No life, that is to say, no healthy
tissue can be generated from impure blood, no
organ of the body can normally perform its
functions whensupplied withimpure blood. The
fluid that should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and disease. Blood
is the source of life, only when it is pure. If it
has become diseased, it must be cleansed By
proper medication else every pulsation of the
human heart sends wave of disease through
the system. To cleanse the blood of all impurl-
ties, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets the most effect

discovered They are especially efficient s's

Everything Goes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets out
of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contamina-
ton of the blood, imperfect assimilation, are
certain to ensue. But it is easy toprevent these
consequences, and remove their cause, by a
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the hillary organ and regulates its
action. The direct result is disappearance of
the pains beneath the ribs and through the
shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yellow
ness Of the skin, furred look of the tongue, and
sour odor of the breath, which characterize
liver complaint Sound digestion and regular
habit of body are blessings also secured by the
which imparts degree of vigor to the body
which is the best guarantee of safety from ma
larial epidemics Nerve weakness and over
tension are relieved by it, and it improves both
appetite and sleep
