MERlTED SUCCESS.
Baseless Attacks Upon the Reputstioa
and Business OF . Physician Are
without Avail.

Germantown Gazette.
There lives in Buffalo, n. T., man
who is widely known as the prOprie-
tor of the Pierce Family Medicines.
DIR. Pierce has lately come into added
publicity because of the unwarranted
attack made upon his medicines by a
certain periodical, which charged that
they were not what they were repre-
sented to be by the doctor. he
promptly met the attack by suing the
owners OF the journal in question for
100000 damages. Upon the fling
of this suit retraction was printed
by the editors, who acknowledged
that their statement was entirely
without foundation, but notwith-
standing this covert attacks have
still been made upon DR.. Pierce and
his business.
DR.. Pierce's business, which has its
center in Buffalo, where he has a
large laboratory known as the
Worlds Medical Dispensary, for the
manufacture OF his world-famed fam
ily medicines-the "Favorite Pre-
scription" and the Golden Medical
Discovery" and hospital, known as
the Invalids' Hotel for the treatment
of the various ailments by a large
etaff ofphysicians and surgeons, is the
result Of thirty-eight years Of honor
able and honest dealing with the pub
lie. He is a man OF honor, respected
in the community and enjoying the
confidence ofhis fellow citizens. They
know that he is neither a quack nor
a charlatan, but that he has attained
success in life because he deserves it.
Comley's History of New York State
containing biographical sketches OF
the men who shave given wealth,
stamina, and character" to the En-
pire State, gives a sketch of the dis
tinguished physician, from which the
following brief extracts are made:
every nation owes it's peculiar char
acter, it's prosperity-in brief, every
thing that distinguishes it as an in
dividual nation-to the few men be-
longing to it who have the courage
to step beyond the boundaries pre-
scribed by professional traditions, or
social customs. this class OF
men the medical profession has fur
nished a distinguished example in the
successful and justly-celebrated ply
sician, DR.. r. V. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N.
Y, and any history treating of the
industries of the Empire State would
be incomplete without sketch ofhis
useful and earnest work Spec
tally educated for the profession he
early supplemented his studies by en-
tensive and original research i'm it's
several departments. Devoting his
attention to certain specialties of the
science he has SO carefully investigat-
ed, he has been rewarded in a remark
able degree. In these specialties he
has become a recognized leader. Not
a 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 reputation, as man and physi-
clan, does not deteriOrate; and the
fact that there is a steadily increasing
demand for his medicines, proves that
they are not nostrums, but reliable
remedies for disease"
DR.. Pierce's establishment at Buf-
falo, is one of the show points of that
fiourishing city, and is we'll worth a
visit just to see how modern medi-
cines, even though they be "patent,"
are compounded with the utmost
skill by trained chemists and on the
most scientific principles. 1t is also
worth while for the purpose Of seeing
the methods followed by which each
applicant for aid, whether he be a
correspondent or a patient at the
hospital, secures the care OF eminent
specialists in medicine and surgery.
Once these things are seen it will be
speedily acknowledged by the most
skeptical that all patent medicine
businesses are not the frauds which
some careless papers have declared
them to be-
A woman likes to be truly loved
and to be told so.
