Common Sense.

Many imagine all advertised medicines to be worthless nostrums, and iudiscriminatelj con demnthem; but is it not an injustice to the thousands of respectable citizens who give voluntary evidence of benefits received, to thus question and doubt their veracity and integrity? Fairbanks’ standard scales are extensively advertised. Does it necessarily follow that they aro inferier in make, and less accurate thau others? Have they not been demonstrated to be among the best? Again, is it common sense to suppose that a physician with capital could be induced to hazard it and a hard-earned reputation upon a worthless article? It. Y. Pierce, M. D., of the World’s Dispensary and Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., is the proprietor of the most popular family medicines in the market. His reputation as a skillful surgeon and physician has been fully established for many years. Would physicians and clergy, after having tested his medicines thoroughly, unite in commending them to the afflicted, ’if they possessed no merit ?
