THE NEW MECCA

In this age of Misrepresentation, when
| the irrepreSSible Quack walks abroad
| through the medium of the printing press,
and with an entire disregard of the con-
sequences to humanity, seeks to impose
his unskillful services or worthless decoc-
tiOns upon the public, we take special
| pleasure in saying a word in c0mmenda-
tiOn of a reliable and justly-famous in
stitutiOn of healing.
We refer to DR.. X. V. Pierce'S "World'S
Dispensary and Invalid's Hotel and Sur
gical Institute" the pride of the good
city of Buffalo and the Mecca" of null
titude of invalidS who owe recovery to
the skillful threatment and attention
there received. DR.. Pierce'S establish
ment comprises two mammoth and artis-
tic structures, connected by an open pas
sage way: One an InvalidS Hotel and
Surgical Institute, presided over by a
corps of eighteen celebrated physicians
and surgeons, and provided throughout
with the most luxurious appointments
and convenienceS that taste can suggest
and money can supply.
Here are faultleSsly furnished and dec
GRATED receptiOn-roOms, reading-ToOms,
spacious sleeping apartments, Turkish
baths, and every possible convenience of
a magnliicently-co constructed and literally
managed hotel, with each and every de
partment marvel of artistic fitness and
completeness.
The adjoining structure is known as
the Worlds Dispensary." Upon each of
its six immense floors a scene is present
ed which, when once observed, can never
be forgotten.
In the Laboratory on the fifth floor, a
large number of careful chemists are con-
stantly employed in the preparation of
DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescriptions, and other world
famed preparations, which, at all hours of
the busy day, goes singing and gurgling
through a system of tubing, from its
birthplace on the fifth floor to the bottl-
ing and labelling department in the vast
basement Of the building. The inter
mediate floors are alive with bIZ-Z and
whir of not alone fourteen printing
presses, throwing off a countless variety
of pamphlets, circulars, books, and labels,
but of folding, pressing, and pasting ma
chinery, all operated by the deft fingers
of cleanly-Gressed and intelligent young
ladies', all operating together and filing
the place with the music of a Well-diSci-
plned activity second to Rome i'll the
country. DR.. Pierce has done and is DO
ing great work for humanity, and can
accept the honors and emoluments of his
recognized position with a knowledge
that no success was ever more WOrthiIy
attained
To go through detailed account of
the myriad mechanical and electrical ap-
plianCeS and cOntrivanceS here to be
found in perfection of construction and
application, or to lead your observation
through suit upon suit of cheerful and
elegant consulting and treatment rooms
and to dwell upon the other thousand
and-one attractive and useful features of
the establishment, would be pleasing
task, but, at the present moment, for us
an impossible one Enough for us to say
that the people of the country should be
proud of this great success, built up, sole
ly, on the elements of true Americanism,
viz: Pluck, Integrity, and Ability.
Twenty-Five years of the daily and
hourly exercise of these characteristics
has gained for DIR. Pierce the confidence
of the entire public, and the heartfelt
thanks of the patrons of his skill, whose
name is Legion
