American Genins. Moody and Sankey.

The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and Sankey, who electrified staid old England with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are fair samples of American genius. Springing from among the common people, their sympathies are alive to the wants of the whole people, and herein lies tflje secret of their great success. Those who seek to be popular must study and l>c faiaililir with the wants of tile masses, and prove loyal thereto. To this fact we may trace the grand success in business, as well as in religious undertakings, which many Americans have achieved. Strikingly illustrative of these suggestions is that great establishment, located at Buffalo, N. Y., and known as the “World’s Dispensary”—a most appropriate name, indeed, for that vast institution, within whose walls are manufactured remedies w’hich are in demand in every quarter of the globe, and at which a corps of distinguished physicians and surgeons, under the personal direction of Dr. Pierce, are constantly administering to the needs of thousands of sufferers everywhere, and whose success in the treatment of all forms of chronic ailments has become so’well known that there is scarcely a hamlet in the laud in which his name is not familiar. Its proprietor, says ■ the Herald and Torchlight, of Detroit, “ is a . man of the people, writes for them, and to them tenders his eminent professional services.” His advertisements are earnest exhortations. Like the great revivalists, his enthusiasm is multiplied by the unparalleled success of his enterprise, as well as by the efficacy of his remedies in eurtng disease. The people believe in him and his itanedi/s, because, a’s the New York Tribune says, “he sympathizes with them in. all their afflictions, efforts and attainments.” Hence, Dr. Pierce’s Golden, Medical Discovery is ’to-day more largely employed as a blood anti liver mdflicine, and also as a cough remedy, than any other remedial agent'in the world. His Favorite Prescription he- does not recoih'mend as a Jt-cure-all,” as is so often done by cornfounders of worthless, humbug nostrums, but for all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women it has proved itself bo much of a specific that it now enjoys greatjpopularity and universal confidence. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets, “ scarcely larger than mustard seed,” have proved so agreeable and reliable as a cathartic that teey are rapidly taking the place of the large, nauseous pills heretofore so much iri use;, while his Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is a favorite remedy for Colic,. Cramps, Summercomplaint, Diarrhcea, Dysentery, Cholera and Cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment. Of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche little nted be said, as they are known everywhere aalthe greatest specifics for Catarrh and .‘*,<y>ld in the head” ever given to the pubficj And besides this large measure St -ferfccess, Dr. Pierce seems likely to achieve as great renown as an author as h« has a»> a physician,,; His Common Sknsb MzfiiCAi, adviser, a book of about 900 pages, which he sells at the unparalleled low price of $1.50, has already been sold to the extent of exhausting two editions amounting to forty thousand copies. The secret of “Dr. Pierue’s success, as well as that of the great revivalists, and scores of other Americans who by their genius have advanced step by-step from obscurity to affluence and distinction, consists in treating the people with consideration, sympathy, candor and honesty. No man, who hopes to attain either wealth or distinction, can afford to deal unfairly witli the world or be indifferent to the wants and best interests of humanity.
