The InVslids' Hotel and Worlds Dispensary at
Buffalo, n. I.
Az many Of our readers will doubtless re-
member, DR.. Pierce's famous Invallds' hotel at
Buffalo, n. Y, was entirely destroyed by fire
on the 18th of February 1891 but since then,
thanks to the energy and enterprise Of the
Board of Trustees, this splendid annex of the
Worlds Dispensary" has been rebuilt and rs
opened for the accommodation of visitors
The Inyalids' Hotel is pleasantly situated on
Main street, in the City of Buffalo, just above
and outside the business and bustle of this
Queen City of the Lakes. 1t is easily reached
from the railroad depots by the Exchange and
Main street car lines 1t is a substantially
built brick building, trimmed with sandstone
weIl-Gghted, aud provided with patent hydrsu-
lie elevator, so that its upper stories are quite
as desirable as any.
The hotel is also provided with Turkish,
electric and other approved baths, gymnasium
and treatment room, fitted up with apparatus
Of the most modern style. There are ten
skilled physicians aud surgeons on the medical
staff besides s large corps of trained attendants.
The diet is one of the features of the institu
ton. Patients are not starved IN the course
of treatment
In the prescribing Of remedies for disease
the staff resort to the whole broad field Of
raaterja msdicq. allowing themselves to be ham
pered by no school, ism, or sect.
THE WORLDS DIsPENsARY
is located on Washington street, Immediately
in the rear of the InvaIids' Hotel, is of brick
with sandstone trimmings, six stories high
and 100 feet square It is occupied by tho
Worlds Dispensary Medical Association as
laboratory, wherein are manufactured DR..
Pierces Standard Family Medicines. In the
basement is a huge COrliss engine Of 100-hoTse-
power which drives all the machinery of the
establishment. and there also are located the
bottljug, labelling, wrapping, packing and ship
ping departments. On the second floor are the
reception rooms, business offices, counting
room. advertising departments, mailing room,
library, and consulting and operating rooms.
On the third floor are the printing and binding
departments, containing twelve large power
presses, where is printed DR.. Pierces famous
book of nearly 900 pages. entitled "The Peo-
ples Common Sense Medical Adviser" of which
100000 copies have been sold. The fourth floor
is devoted to the preparation Of drugs and the
storage of medicines, and contains also elegantly
furnished dispensing rooms. On the fifth floor
is the mixing, percoIating distilling and filter
ing apparatus, while the sixth floor is devoted
to the storage of raw material The business
is, indeed, conducted with great regard for sys-
TEN in every branch, and has attained such
immense proportions that it has been found
necessary to open d branch in London. That
a business Of such vast and far-reaching pro-
portions as Is seen within the Associations ex-
tcusive buildings should have been established
within the short space of 3 few years speaks
louder and far more convincingly than volumes
for the genuine merits of DR.. Pierces Standard
Medicines to which is largely due these grand
achievements.
