The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1895-09-11

Buffalo is the home of large and noted
institutions and industries of various de-
scriptions. Among the foremost of these
is the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti.
tute, great sanitarium, founded and pre-
sided over by DR.. II. V. Pierce.
Here is the instance of physician in
the practice of his profession, finding his
medicines so successful that he desired TO
have them used beyond the limits of a
merely personal practice, realizing that
however large this might be, 1t was yet a
narrow field in which to confine the use
of valuable remedies. With this idea he
advertised, and their merits became
known until they attained worldwide
sale. Ife received numerous consulta-
tons by mail from those who had receiv-
ed benefit from his medicines, and desired
further professional advice. This depart
ment continued to grow by reason of sue
cessful results, until he now has eighteen
experienced and skilled physicians asso-
ciated with him, among whom are spec
ialists on every chronic or long-standing
disease.
Then the Call for personal treatment
from all parts of the country became so
great, that it was necessary to erect an In
valids' Hotel so large that under one roof
might be found every comfort and luxury
of life for the guest, who in the capacity
of an invalid would receive treatment
from specialists of the highest medical
skill, assisted by frequent consultation
with DIR. Pierce, the President of the Fa-
Guilty. That an institution like this, great
in conception and perfect in detail, of
large dimensions containing patients from
all sections, that a physician practicing
medicine should have, so to speak, ex-
tended his practice over the world, by
founding an institution like this, seems
remarkable, and yet that is just what DIR.
Pierce has done. Space will not permit
us 10 describe this great Invalids' Hotel,
but it is complete in every detail. Re-
ception rooms, parlors, library, reading
room, magnificent private rooms, bath
department supplied with Turkish and
other baths, medical, surgical, electrical
departments, etc. In passing we will al
lude to its Bureau of Medical Correspon.
dence, where from ten to twelve physi-
clans, with their stenographers are con-
stantly employed in attending to vast cor
respondence received from invalds resid-
ing in all parts of the United States and
| Canada. Every important case receives
the careful consideration of council
composed of from three to five of these
expert specialists, before finally passed
upon, and prescribed for.
In the rear of the Invalids' Hotel is the
Worlds Dispensary. This building is one
hundred feet square and six stories high.
1t contains the laboratory where DR..
Pierce's celebrated remedies are prepared,
and from whence they are shipped all
over the world. DIR. r. V. Pierce, who
founded this institution that had no mod
ell and seems too perfect in its appoint
menis for imitation, maintains constant
personal supervision over every detail OF
its vast system. lie is not yet sixty years
old, is young looking man for his age,
and one OF the foremost citizens of Buffa.
10. He was elected to the State Senate,
and subsequently TO Congress, but fell
called upon to resign that high and hon
orable position to devote his entire time
to his business and the service of his pa
tients, and this reveals the secret of his
wonderful success, by showing the earn
estness and devotion with which he ap
plies himself to his chosen profession, al
ways seeking new and improved methods
TO extend his usefulness.
Although very busy man, DIR. Pierc'
has found time in which to write n grea
book of over thousand pages, entitled
The Peoples Common Sense Medical Ad
wiser, in Plain English, or Medicine Sim
plified. Few books printed in the Eng
fish language, have reached so great sail
rs has this popular work, over G80,00
copies having been sold at $l.50 each
The profits on this enormous sale havinl
repaid its author for the great amount o
labor and money expended on its produc
ton, he has now decided to give array
absolutely free, 100000 copies OF th
valuable book, the recipient only beinl
required TO mail to the Worlds Dispen
sary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N
Y, of which company he is president

library, complete in one volume. 1t con
tains 1908 large pages, and over 300 illus
trations, some of them in colors. TIL,

sold at $l.50 except only that the book

instead of cloth. 1t is not often that on
readers have an opportunity to obtain

and we predict that few will miss availin
themselves of the unusual and liberal of
