Signs.

People who still adhere to the look-at-your-tongue-and-feel-of-your-pulse doctor sometimes express not a little curiosity In regard to Di. R.V. Pierce’s original method of distinguishing all forms of chronic disease without Eersonai consultation. Some even suppose that e accomplishes this through clairvoyance, or some other species of professional Jugglery. All this Is utterly false. He claims to determine disease by the rational methods of science only. Says Comley, In his Biographical Encyclopedia of New York State, shaking of this distinguished physician: “ lie perceived that In each of the natural sciences the investigator proceeds according to a eyetetn of eigne. The geologist In his cabinet accurately determines and describes tho cleft of rock, which he has never seen, from the minute specimen on his table. Ana tho chemist In his laboratory notes the constituents of the sun with the same precision that he analyzes a crystal of rock salt. The analogous system developed by Dr. Pierce In Medical Science Is worthy of his genius, and has made his name Justly celebrated.” For a full explanation of this Ingenious system of diagnosis, see the People’s Common ’Sense Medical Adviser, sent, postpaid, to any address on receipt of ono dollar and fifty cents. Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. 1)., Buffalo, N. Y. In old times, when tohnoco was manufactured from only the best leaf grown in Virginia, there was an article put, up in kegs called "Nigger Head Twist.” Messrs. W. S. Kimball A Co., of Rochester, N. Y.. the manufacturers of the famous Vanity Fair Tobacco and Cigarettes, have reproduced this Nigger Head, and prepared it in papers under two brands—one, dark and heavy, called Nigger Head: the other, light and mild, called Bull's Eye. These are genuine cut cavendish, and are the most economical tobaccos the working-man can use. One pound is said to lie equal to a pound and a half of common smoking tobacco. . ,
