ved
extraordinary success is Dr. R.V. PIERCE, of Buffalo, N.Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been reached through strictly
legitimate means, and so far, therefore, he deserves the enviable
reputation which he enjoys. This large measure of success is the result
of a thorough and careful preparation for his calling, and extensive
reading during a long and unusually large practice, which has enabled
him to gain high commendation, even from his professional brethren.
Devoting his attention to certain specialties of the science he has so
carefully investigated, he has been rewarded in a remarkable 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. He has
recently added another, and perhaps more important work, because of more
general application, to the list of his published writings. This book,
entitled "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," is designed to
enter into general circulation. For his labors in this direction, Dr.
PIERCE has received acknowledgments and honors from many sources, and
especially scientific degrees from two of the first medical institutions
in the land. His works have been translated into the German, Spanish,
French, and other foreign languages.

_FROM THE TOLEDO BLADE_.

Dr. PIERCE has now been before the general public long enough to enable
the formation of a careful estimate of the efficiency of his treatment
and his medicines, and the verdict, we are glad to know, has been
universally favorable to both.

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN.

Dr. PIERCE is a type of a class of men who obtain success by careful and
well-directed effort, not attempting too much, nor creating false ideas
as to ability. The only reliable physician, in these days of complicated
disorders and high-pressure living, is the "Specialist," the man who
understands his own branch of the business. Such, in his line, is Dr.
Pierce. He has written a "Common Sense Medical Adviser," which is well
worth reading. With strict business honor, high professional skill,
reasonable fees, and a large corps of competent assistants Dr. Pierce
has made his name as familiar
