He finds the market flooded with proprietary modicinu*, stores of which are recommended as certain cures ft r his peculiar ailment. He reads the papers circulars, and almanacs, and tinds each sustained by plausible arguments setting lorlh its virtues and spe. ciflc action. The recommendations are m ftirori)f lor one as tor another. The cures claimed to have been wrought by one are as wonderful as those claimed to have been wrought by another. In his perplexity and doubt, the suflerer is sometimes led to reject all. But it should be borne in inind that this condition of things is one that cannot lie remedied In a land were all are free, the good, and truly valuable, must come into competition with the vile and worthless, and must be brought to public notice by the same instrumentality, which is adverluting. In such a case, perhaps tbe only absolute proof that a remedy is what it is claimed to be, is to try it. Tbe "test of a pudding is the eating of it." "Prove all things, bold fast that which is good,' is tbe apostolic in, junction. There may, however, be stronger presumptive evidence in favor of one remedy than there is in lavor ot another, and this should be allowed its due weight A due regard to this may save a vast amount of expermen ting and a useless outlay of money. As presumptivr evidence in favor of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, the propria- I tor desirvs to say, that ttuiy are prepared by a new and scientific process bv which tbe virtues of the crude plants and roots are extracted without tbe use of a particle of alcohol Not a particle of this de *troyer of our race enter* into tbe composition of either hi* Golden Medical Discovery or Favorite Prescription. Tbi* { consideration alone ought certainly to j rank tbem high above tbe vile compound* iBlurated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vinegar, which are everywhere (flfored for tale. Again, they are of uniform strength, and their virtues can never be impaired by age. They ere also made from fresh herb* and roots, gathered ia their appropriate searan, when they are flush with medical i properties. Id support of these claims, the following testimony is offered : JNBWAkg, N. J. k. V. Pit ret, hi. D.r Dkab Sia? I have sold a great deal of your excellent remedies, and I prefer u> sell tbem be ore others, because they give good *ati*Iacttoa to tboee who use them. I bear *ucb remarks as* "Sage's Remedy completely cored me; it is a splendid thing;" or "Pierce's Discovery is just hat I wanted; I feel better than I ever c I" One of oor celebrated singer* nam it ?r strengthening her voice aod nays "there i* nothing equals it;" and ae I mien give scores 01 remarks said about your preparations A soloeed woman *u u-ing your Discovery, ard after tab- | ing three buttles was oompletely cared She Iwinr in tbe itora, said to me, M1 doa't want no doctors round roe so long as 1 ran get tbe Discovery; it beats ail your doctor*."
