Honor in His Own Land.

Says Comity in his* recenUy-issucd work, The History of New York State, “The day has passed when the lienefaetors of humanity were allowed to live in Ignominious poverty—their sacriiiees, their labors, unrecompensed. To-day, the benefactors of the people—the men who devote their lives and energies to the interests of hunntnlty—these arc the men whom the world delights to honor, and whom it rewards with princely fortunes. As an earnest worker for the welfare of his fellow men, Dr. R. V. Pierce lias won their warmest sympathy and esteem. While seeking to be their servant only, lie has become a prince among them. Yet the immense fortune lavished upon him by a generous people he hoards not, but invests in the erection and establishment of institutions directly contributive to the public good, the people thus realizing, iu their liberal patronage, a new meaning ofthat beautiful Oriental custom of casting bread upon the waters. Noted in both public and private life for ills unswerving integrity and all those sterling virtues that ennoble uianhood, Dr. Pierce ranks high among those few men, whose names the Empire State is justly proud to inscribe upon her roll of honor. Ambitious, yet moved by an ambition strictly amenable to the most discriminating and wellbalanced judgment, ids future career promises to be one of unparalleled activity and usefulness, ably supplementing the work he has already accomplished, by a life at once noble in effort, enviable in its grand resutts.” While Dr. Pierce’s genius and energy have won for him so enviable a position on •the records of a Nation, having been elected Senator by an overwhelming majority, his justly-celebrated Household Remedies have gained for him a yet more desirable place in the hearts of a grateful people. His Golden Medical Dfeoverv and Favorite Prescription have brouglWiealth and happiness to ten thousand households.
