MERITED SUCCESS.
Raseless Attacks Upon The Rep.
utatiOn and Business Of a
Physician are Without Avail.

There lives in Buffalo, n Y, man
who is widely known as the proprietor
OF the Pierce Family Medicines. Or.
Pierce has lately come into added pub
licity because Of the unwarranted at
tack made upon his medicines by
certain periodical, which charged that
they were not what they were repre-
sented to be by the doctor He
promptly met that attack by suing the
owners Of the journal in question for
500, 900 damages. Upon the filing Of
this suit a retraction wis 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.
Or. Pierce's business, which has its
center at Buffalo, where he has a large
laboratory known a. the Worlds lis
pensary, for the manufacture of his
medicines-the 90 Fav0rite Prescription
and the Golden Medical Discovery "
and n hospital known as the Invalids'
Hotel, for the treatment of various ale
ments by a large staff of physicians
and surgeons, is the result of thirty
eight years of honorable and honest
dealing with the public. He Is a man
of honor, respected in the community
and enjoying the confidence OF his fell
low citizens. They know that he is
neither a quack nor charlatan, but
that he has attained success in Gfe be-
Cause he deserves il.
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 ! sketch Of the distinguished ply
sician, from which the following brief
extracts are made Every nation
owes its peculiar character, its pros
perity-in brief, everything that dis
tinguishes 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.. r. " Pierce,
OF Buffalo, n. ", and any history
treating of the industries Of the Empire
State would be incomplete without a
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 rs certain special
ties OF the science he has so carefully
investigated, he has been rewarded in
o remarkable degree. In these special
ties he has become 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 reputa-
ton, as a man and physician, does not
deteriorate; and the fact that thsre is
a steadily increasing demand ior 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 -four
ishing city, and is we'll worth q visit
Just to see how modern medicines,
even though they be PATENT are
compounded with the utmost skill bv
trained chemists and on the most sci
entific principles Il is also worth
while for the purpose OF seeing the
methods followed by which each APP
plicant for aid, whether he be cor
respondent OF patient at the hospital,
secures the care of eminent specialists
in medicine and surgery. Once these
things are seen il viii be speedily ac-
knowledged by the most skeptical that
all patent-medicine businesses are not
the frauds which some careless papers
have declared them to be.
