From _the Rocky Mountain Herald_.

Dr. R.V. PIERCE, the greatest American specialist, and proprietor of the
World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y., has sent us his new book entitled
"The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," which is a handsome, large
volume, elegantly got up, with hundreds of wood-cuts and colored
plates, and a complete cyclopedia of medical teachings for old and young
of both sexes. _It has every thing in it,_ according to the latest
scientific discoveries, and withal is wonderfully _commomensical_ in its
style and teachings.

_From the Lafayette Daily Courier._

Dr. R.V. PIERCE, of Buffalo, distinguished in surgery, and the general
practice of the profession he honors, has made a valuable contribution
to the medical literature of the day, in a comprehensive work entitled
"The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser." While scientific
throughout, it is singularly free from technical and stilted terms. It
comes right down to the common-sense of every-day life, and, to quote
from the author himself, seeks to "inculcate the facts of science rather
than the theories of philosophy." This entertaining and really
instructive work seems to be in harmony with the enlarged sphere of
thought, as touching the open polar sea of evolution. He considers man
in every phase of his existence, from the rayless atom to the grand
upbuilding of the noblest work of God. Dr. PIERCE is a noble specimen of
American manhood. He has sprung from the people, and with many
sympathies in common with the masses, has sought to render them a
substantial service in this the great work of his life.

LAURELS FOR TRUE WORTH.

"A wise physician, skill'd our wounds to heal,
Is more than armies to the public weal."

To be honored in his own land is the crowning blessing of the man who
has been "the architect of his own fortune"--the man who has made for
himself, with his own hands and brain, a princely fortune and an
enduring fame. From COMLEY'S History of New York State, containing
biographical sketches of the men who "have given wealth, stamina, and
character" to the Empire State, we clip the following brief sketch of
the distinguished physician, Dr. R.V. PIERCE, of Buffalo: "Every nation
owes its peculiar character, its prosperity-
