D, AUTIHOR OF THE PEOPLES COMMON SENSE HEDIGAL ADVISER IN PLAIN ENGLISH, OR Medicine Simplified. For many years I havo devoted myself very closely to the investigation and treatmont of chronie Qiscases, During my practice, Ihave expended many hundred thousands of dollars in advertising in American and foreign jour- pals. In this manner I biave becomo exton- sively known na a specinlist in tho trontment of chronic diseases, and mauy thousands of crsons suffering from theso affections havo eon led to consult me, A large expenence in such cases hes noturaily led to the discov- ory of many now and valiablo remedies and improved surgical methods, which have cna- bled me to succeed in multitudes of enses whero othors have falled, Accordingly my Brm:u'cu beepma very extonsive, and 1 estab- iwhed the World's Dispensiry as n cantral de- pot for my standard family medicines, and adopted the system of specialties. M{ prac- tico and correspondence incroased until, with- ont bopsting, I mny say that, probably, no other physician, in any conntry, is constantly !rcufi!l;g 50 many cases of chronfe diseases ns mysalf. . Ouce T could hava {hie individnal oversight of oll my paticuts, and attend personally to the ada tntfim of medicincs, But n&{ {me- tice and correspondence incrensed until 1 was obliged to employ professionsl snd other as- sistants, The most thoroughly educated phy- sicians, who have had experience in goueral practico, aro uugaged, und aftor romaining with mo until thoy become sxperts in some one branch of wmedicine or snrgery, thoy as- sist in oxnmining and presoribing ju that de- partment. 'Fhus, to one belongs the exami- nation and troatment of disenscs of tho nerv- ous systam; to another surgical operations snd tho trentmont of surgical discases; # third hns chinrgo of entarrhinl and pulmavar diseases, and affections of tho heart; a fourth sttends to diseases peculiar to womon ; & fifth + 1o discases of the oyo and ear; and to others aro intrusted disenses of the urogenital organs. All doubtful, ohscure, or dificult cases nro submitted 10 o Council composci of the Med- ical Staff of physiclana ond surgeons—tho Faculty of tho World's Dispensary.

Nor doos ha display any falso mod- esty in tho manner of making known his skill.

Woe can treat most chronio disenses ag suc- cassfully without as with porsonal consul~ tation, # our vast experience enables us to correctly determino the mnalady from which the pationt is suffering—by a history of the symptoms, and answers to the questions found in the conchldhx’; pages of *'I'he Peo- ple's Medical Adviser.,” e liave nover seen one Fcrmn in flva hundred whom we have eured. Somo may supposo that n physician ean. not_obtain, through covrespondence, o sut. fleiently nccurato iden of tho condition of a patient, to ennblo him to trent tho ensa ue- cessfully, DBut o largo experienco in this practice hag proved the contrary to bo true, for somo of tho most romarkable eurea liave beon offected through thoe medium of corre- sPoudcnce. In most long-continued cnses, the patient hos thought over his symptoms hundreds of times. Tha locatlon of every pnin, whother acute or mild, constant or oc- ensionn], and the circumstances under which it occurs, have been earefally noted, ¥l hns observed whother he had a rush of blood to the hend, was foverish or chilly, whether troubled with cold hands ond feet, whether full of blood, or pals and bloodless; anl ha states theso mattors with necuracy and com- mon senso when writing to mo, for his hins a very good, if not n professional knowledge of tho relative importance of thoso symptoms, 8o in regard to fligcstiun,hu tateswhat kinds of food agrea with him, or whether hois tronbled with excessiva acidity or n flatulent condition of tho stomach. He_ also informs 18 whotlier his tonguo is conted, or clean and liealthy, and gives us many othier particulnrs too lengthy to enumerats, by which we aro onabled to gnin o perfoot understanding of the cnso. If his description be not sufficiontly completo to enable us to obtein an unmis. taknblo understanding of tho case, ho is ro- uested to answor a list of important ques- tions which are sent him, ‘The ‘pcople aro far more intelligont in theso matters than physicians are gonerally willing to admit. A pationt is often confused while being person- ally examined by o physician, snd gives im- orfect or incorrect_answers, After he has oft tho proseuce of tho physician, he finds that ho has failed to cnumerate many of the most important symptoms. Inconsulting by lotter, tlie pationt is not embarrassed, states the oxact symptoms, and earefully rouds over the letter, to secif it is a complote and ac- curate description of his sufferings, In this way he conveys a much better iden of tho cnse than if Ercsont in person and subjeoted to the most thorough questioning and *‘ cross. examinntion.” ‘fho t?mid Iady and nervous oung man writo just a3 they feel; and one mportant renson why wo have had such sn. perior snccess in treating intricato and deli- cnta discases, is beonuse wo have obtained such truo and natural statements of the cnses from thoso lottory, many of which aro perfoct pen-pictures of disepso, As bauk tollers and cashiers, who daily handle large quantitica of ourrency, can_unnistakably dotect spurious nioney, by n glauce at the engraving oratouch of tho paper, 6o tho oxporienced physician, by his grent familiarity with disease, becomes equally skilled in detecting the naturo ond cxtont of n chronic maludy from a written description of its symptoms. A careful microscopienl cxamination and chemieal analysls of the urino is a valuable nid in determining the nnture of many chronie digenses, particulnrly those of tho nervous systom, blood, liver, kidueys, bisdder, pros- trate glond and goneratiyo organs, ‘Chig im- portant fact is not ayerlooked at tho World's Dispensary, whore an experienced chemist ig employed to mako such examinations and re- ort the resnlt to tho sttendant physicians, adical uthors, profossors, and practition. cra of all schools, admit and even inslst upon tho importance of such csaminations in dingnosing diseases, Many practitionors nog- lect to take advantago of this invalushle aid, whilo many othors foar thai if thoy attach much importanco to such examinations they will be ranked with *uriscopian” or *water doctors,”—a class of enthusinsts who eclaim to correctly dingnoso overy disease by an ex- amination of the urine. Persons consultin us, nud wishing to nvail themsolves of the nd- vantages afforded by these examinations, can send small vinls of thoir urine by mail or ox- press, ‘Tho vinls should be carefnlly packed in saw-dust or paper, and inclosed in o light wooden box. All charges for trausportation must ba prepaid, and a complotp Listory of tho caso, including the nge nud sex of tho pa- tiont, accompanying each packagoe, or it will receive no attention, ‘Ihis snves yaluablo time by directing tho examination into the channels indicated, and thus avolding a lengthy serios of cxperiments. As wo aro dnily recgiving numerous vials of urino, to rovent confusion, every snmpla should bo aboled with the namo of the patient who gonds it.

Thero can le no roal success withont truo merit, That his suceess i4 real, is evidenced by the fact that his repim tation, a3 & man and a physician, does not detoriorato, aud the fact that thero is o .| stondily-increasing demnnd for bis modicines, roves that they aro not nostrums, but re iable remedies for discase. 'The varions de artments of the Werld's Disponsary, where is Family Madicinos are compounded and hin specinl’ proseriptions d, are pros vided with all modern facilitics. Dr, Pierco's standard preparations are not “patent medicines.” I{o hns repentedly told tho publio that **no patent has been asked for or obtained upon thom.” Neither does ho ndvertiso them ns panaceas, On Lho con. trary, each is proparod for o definito class of disenses. It mny be urged that soma of thesa disenses are 80 widely difforent that it seema absurd to prescribe the sama romedy, They may differ in symptoms, yot in character to precisely similar. Aud then wo must take into considoration the fact that remedics mu possess varlous properties; thus some medi. ciues aro both tonic and nlterative, others may bo tonie and laxative ; the propertics dit. foving according to the quantity administered, nud tho time nud circumstances which doe maud its omployment. Thero sooms to bo o Fn]\uh\r ien that a proprictary medicine ia esé valuablo than tho compound prepared by a druggist according to a proseription which, to the bonrer, is nothing but a jumbla of hicvoglyphios. Perhnps it i the mystery which involves the latter that lends fha ohiarm 3 but which should decide the valuo of a remedy—mystery or merit? Wa quota { from tha anthor's lata work the following, ag on answer and just reproof to porsons who wonld urge that any medicine ia loss yalunbla Tecausa tho exclusive right to manufacturo it in vested in a single individual: ¢ Bocauso Vanderbilt posscsses vast railroad intorosta, ara railronds less valuablo? Bocauso a cere tain merchant prince controls the manufaoe turo of cptton goods, is cotton cloth less usos ful? Deeauso tho Government retaing the oxelusive right to manufaotura coin aud gur- reney, is the gold dollar of less value?” Con- cerning the manufacture of good medicina] compounds, the ¢ Paaple’a Medical Adviser containg the following: ** In tho manufacture of any pharmaceulicql proparation, two con- ditions gre ossential to its porfection, viz.: purity and strengthi af the materinls, and ap- yproprinte machinery, Tho flrat iy insured by purchasing the saterinls in large quantitics, whereby tho exorcige of grenter'cnyo in go. lecting tho materials can boafforded; and the second ean only bo nccomplished whera tha business {a cxtensivo cmongh tp warrant a large ontlay of capital iy procuring chemicnl apparntug, Thesa facts apply with specinl forco to the manufacturo of my medicinos, their quality having been vastly improved sines thae deweaud has beeome so grent ns to requird their manufacture in very large quantitica.” These idens are_not mero spogulptive ro marks, to mistesd ov imbuae tha roader with fnlwo idons of tho superiority of his medic cines. Whilp inspeoting Doctor Pipreo’s es tablishment, we wero ngreeably surprised ta see what adinirable facilities, bath chemical and mechanical, the institution affords for the preparation of medicines. Eyerything it arranged in the mast porfect ordor—from the counting-room to the sl ?[ng department. Although an obsgrver could see po room fo1 improvemont, yot mow npporptus and me- mechanical applinuces mro constantly being progured, ‘Pliere i no surer sign of well- merited ‘rmspcrity than when o busiyess man applios the greater portion of his proceeds ta tho jmpravement and extenslon of his busie neay, Doctor Pioreo's Family Remedies havo roe celved a cordinl recoption in France, Ger many, Spain, England, and China, to say nothing of the jmmonso sales nnuun.fly made in the Indics and Sonth America.
