MERITED SUCCESS.
Baseless Attacks Upon The Rep
utatiOn and Business of q
Physician are Without Avail.

There lives in Buffalo, N. Y, man
who is widely known as the proprietor
of the Pierce Family Medicines. DR..
Pierce has lately come into added pub
licity because Of the unwarranted at
tack made upon his medicines by a
certain periodical, which charged that
they were not what they were repre-
scented to be by the doctor. He
promptly met that attack by suing the
owners of the journal in question for
5000 600 damages. Upon the filing of
this suit retracton was printed by
the editors, who acknowledged that
their statement was entirely without
foundation, but Notwithstanding this
covert attacks have still been made
upon DR.. Pierce and his business.
DR.. Pierce's business, which has its
center at Buffalo, where he has large
laboratory known as the Worlds Dis
pensary, for the manufacture of his
medicines "Favorite Prescription
and the " Golden Medical Discovery"
and hospital, known as the lnvalids'
Hotel, for the treatment of various all
ments by large staff of physicians
and surgeons, is the result of thirty
eight years of honorable and honest
dealing with the public. He is man
of honor, respected in the community
and enjoying the confidence of his fell
low citizens. They know that he is
neither quack nor a charlatan, but
that he has attained success in life be-
cause he deserves it.
Comley's History of New York State,
containing biographical sketches OF the
men who have given wealth, stamina,
and character to the Empire State,
gives a sketch of the distinguished ply
stefan, from which the following brief
extracts are made: Every nation
owes its peculiar character, its pros
perity-in brief, everything that dis
tnguishes it as an individual! nation
to the few men belonging to it who
have the courage to step beyond the
boundaries prescribed by professional
tradition, or social customs.
OF this class of men the medical pro-
fession has furnished a distinguished
example in the successful and justly
celebrated physician, DR.. X. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo n. Y, and any history
treating of the industries of the Empire
sketch of his useful and earnest work.
Specially educated for the
profession he early supplemented his
studies by extensive and original re-
search in its several departments. De-
voting his attention to certain special
ties of the science he has so carefully
investigated, he has been rewarded in
n remarkable degree. In these special
ties he has become recognized leader.
Not few of the remedies prescribed by
him, have, it is said, been adopted and
prescribed by physicians in their private
practice His pamphlets and larger
works have been received as useful
contributions to medical knowledge.
That his success is real, is
evidenced by the fact that his reputa-
ton, as man and physician, does not
dcteriorate; and the fact that there is
steadily increasing demand for his
medicines, proves that they are not
nostrums, but reliable remedies for
disease.
DR.. Pierce's establishment at Buffalo,
is one of the show points of that flour
ishing city, and is we'll worth visit
Just to see how modern medicines,
even though they be patent, are
compounded with the utmost skill 10y
trained chemists and on the most sci
entifc principles. 1t is also worth
while for the purpose OF seeing the
methods followed by which each APP
plcant for aid, whether he be a cor
respondent or patient at the hospital,
secures the care of eminent specialists
in medicine and surgery. Once these
things are seen it will be speedily ac-
knowledged by the IN st skeptical that
all patent-medicine businesses are not
the frauds which some careless papers
have declared them to be.
Wouldn't Look Well in Print.
Henderson-Let's see; they call the
man who runs a motor car chauffeur,
don't they?
Uncle Joseph-Well, in our village
they call him worse names than that
