A GREAT INSTITUTION.

noted institutions and Industries
of various descriptions. Among
the foremost of these is the lnVa-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
great sanitarium, founded and
presided over by DR.. r. V. Pierce.
Here is the instance OF ply
stefan in the practice OF his pro-
fession, 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,
it was yet a narrow field in which
to confine the use OF valuable
remedies. With this idea he ad-
vertised, and their merits became
known until they attained a world
wide sale. He received numerous
consultations by mail from those
who had received benefit from his
medicines, and desired further
professional advice. This depart
ment continued to grow by reason
of successful results, until he now
has eighteen experienced and
skilled physicians associated with
him, among whom are specialists
on every chronic, or long-stand-
ing disease.
Then the call for personal treat
ment from all parts of the country
became so great that it was nee
essary to erect an Invalids' Hotel
so large that under one roof might
be found every comfort and luxury
of life for the guest, who in the ca
pacity OF an invalid would receive
treatment from specialists of the
highest medical skill, assisted by
frequent consultation with DR..
Pierce, the president of the Facul-
ty. That an institutions like this,
great in conception and perfect in
detail, of large dimensions contain
ing patients from all sections, that
physician practiclng medicine
should have, so to speak, extended
his practice over the world, by
founding an Institution like this,
seems remarkable, and yet that
is Just what DR.. Pierce has done.
Space will not permit US to des-
cribe this great Invalids' Hotel,
but it is complete in every detail.
Reception rooms, parlors, library,
reading room, magnificent private
rooms, a bath department supplied
with Turkish and other baths,
medical, surgical, electrical de-
partments, etc. In passing we will
allude to it's Bureau Of Medical
where from ten to
twelve physicians with their steno-
graphers are constantly employed
in attending to vast correspond
ence received from invalids resid-
ing in all parts Of the United
States and Canada. Every i'm
portant case receives the careful
of council COM
posed 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 Ia one hundred feet
square and six stories high. 1t
contains the laboratory where DIR.
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 model and
seems too perfect in its appoint
ments for imitation, maintains
constant personal supervision over
every detail of its vast system.
He is not yet sixty years old, is a
young-looking man for his age,
and one Of the foremost citizens OF
Buffalo. He was elected to the
state senate, and subsequently to
congress, but felt called upon to
resign that high and honora BILE
position to devote his entire time
to his business and the service Of
his patients, and this reveals the
secret of his wonderful success, by
showing the carnestness and de-
votion with which he applies him
self to his chosen profession, al
ways seeking new improved
methods to extend his useful
ness.
Although a very busy man, DR.,
Pierce has found time in which to
write great book of over thou
sand pages entitled, The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser,
in plain English, or Medicine
simplified. Few books printed in
the English language, have reached
so great a sale as this popular
work, over 100000 copies having
been sold at $l.50 each. The pro-
fits on this enormous sale having
repiad its author for the grea,
amount of labor and money ex
pended on its production, he has
now decided to give away, abso'
lutely free, 100000 copies of this
valuable book, the recipient only
being required to mail to the
Worlds Dispensary Medical AS
