He says that "A new era has come
in the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know 1t yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage of
medical work in which the doctor
was a peddler selling goods from
house to house, into the more advanc-
ed and sensible era In which the doc
tor stays at his place Of business, like
anyone else who has goods to sell,
and the people who want these goods
come to him. The shop where he has
his goods to sell Is generally called
hospital and he has associated with
him there body Of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers Of any Industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings o "a satisfactory division
Of labor aud specialization Of function.
Therefore, he can give the public a
much better article for less money.
"The article refer to is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This is Just what DR.. Pierce has
been doing at the lnvalids' Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. DR.. v. M. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee H.
Smith, who is vice president and head

there are dozen other physicians
