NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

with the highest honors. A simple knowledge of the routine of
practice as then in vogue was not enough. He sought new means
of healing, and explored "schools" of practice that were pro-
hibited by his sect. He denounced errors in the prevailing
"schools," and accepted truths belonging to those prohibited.
Every one knows how such daring and destructive innovations
are regarded by the medical profession generally. Dr. PIERCE was
no exception to the rule. But he paid no attention to detraction,
pursuing his own way with that energy which proves now to be a
most excellent ally of his medical instincts.

The World's Dispensary is to-day the greatest institution of its
kind in the World. More than two hundred persons are employed,
ten being skillful physicians and surgeons. Each of them devotes
himself to a special branch of the profession, all acting together,
when required, as a council upon serious cases. The printing
department of the Dispensary is larger than the similar depart-
ment of any paper outside of the New York Herald.

Remarkable Professional Success.

The Republican, of St. Louis, says: "Among the notable profes-
sional men of this country who have achieved extraordinary suc-
cess is Dr. R. V. PIERCE, of Buffalo, N. Y. 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."

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "Dr. PIERCE is a type of a
class of men who attain 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, is the 'Specialist,' the
man who understands his one 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 com-
petent assistants, Dr. PIERCE has made his name familiar as
'household words.' "

WELL-MERITED SUCCESS.

The New York Times says: "The author of 'The People's
Medical Adviser' is well-known to the American public as a physi-
cian of fine attainments, and his Family Medicines are favorite
remedies in thousands of our households. As a counselor and
friend, Doctor PIERCE is a cultured, courteous gentleman. He has
devoted all his energies to the allevation of human suffering. With
this end in view and his whole heart in his labors, he has achieved
marked and merited success. There can be no real success without
true merit. That his success is real, is evidenced by the fact that
his reputation, as a man and physician, does not deteriorate: and
the fact that there is a steadily increasing demand for his medi-
cines, proves that they are not nostrums, but reliable remedies for
disease."

Dr. R. V. PIERCE, the greatest American specialist, 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 commonsensical in its style and teach-
ings. -- Rocky Mountain Herald.
