A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.

One of the most striking examples of
what real native American grit and in
telligence can accomplish in the face of
apparently insurmountable ditfiulties, is
presented in the career of the famous DIR.
r. V. Pierce, head of the Worlds Dispen-
Sary Medical Association and the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buf-
falo, n. Y, and who, through the medium
of his cuTatives, is known and honOred
throughout all christenden.
Born in little New York village, and
reared in small Pennsylvania town, his
early youth was struggle between dis
advantages and ardent desire in the strife
for education.
The public school and every other pos
sible medium of instruction was eagerly
utilized by the active Drained boy, until
at eighteen years of age, he felt and knew
his ability to cope successfully with a
course of professional study. After five
years of ardu0us and continuous effort,
he reaped the honOrs of Signally success
full graduation in medicine. His early pro-
feSSIOnal labOrS were confined to a rural
district of Pennsylvania until 1867, when
a desire and determination to achieve
success and win a name, brought him to
the City of BaffalO, in his native State,
where the field was broader and oppOr-
tunities more plentiful.
Goaded onward by an active brain and
tremendous energy, we next find him To-
Gated in a small room on an obscure street
preparing and putting on the market
carefully ly-prepared remedies and specifics
for the relief of the multitude beyond
the range of a narrow circuit Of daily
calls.
Another change and we find him in a
large building on Main street, and the
recipient of the first fruits of growing
public confidence.
DR.. Pierce, like every other brainy man
of the age, was and is a firm believer in
the liberal use of printers ink, and from
his Main-St. establishment he dispatch
ed the message of his healing power
throughout the entire country. The Doc
tor knew, as now the whole world knows,
the merits of his Skilfully-deviSed and pre-
pared remedies, and was only eager for
their public test. \ few more years and
the largest and handSOmeSt structures in
the city of Buffalo lowered toward the
sky in monumental acknowledgement of
the vital energy and gifted learning of
this our representative American Doctor
The Palace Hotel, for invalidS. as this
noble institution was called, fell an early
victim to the flames, but like a Phoenix
from the ashes of this confiagration
sprang up the present mammoth dual
structure, furnishing alike luxurious
resort of health, rest and invigoration,
and also the birthplace of those standard
specifics which are going out in the never
ending flow to all the countries of the
earth. 1t is positive fact that will
aStound you who doubt the power of en-
ergy to conquer that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is as well-known in
I1IdjG to-day, as in New York City, and
is yet only ON the threshold of its destin-
ed usefulness.
The Worlds Dispensary and the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute is a
combination of luxurious accommoda-
ton and every conceivable comfort and
possible curative appliance known to
science. 1t is a haven where chronic dis
eases and physical Affections yield to the
potent influences of a skilful treatment.
In conclusion, we can only say that it
ranks in public confidence just where it
deserves to Ostand-foremost amongst the
reliable curative establishments of the
world.
