WORLD'S DISPENSARY,
At Nos. 80, 82, 84 and 86 West Seneca Street, cor. of Terrace, BUFFALO, N. Y.
Established for the cure of all Chronic (or lingering) Diseases of either Sex, particularly those of a Delicate, Obscure, Complicated or Obstinate Character, also for the skillful performance of all Surgical Operations, and as a headquarters for Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, is the largest establishment of its kind in the world. It is organized with an eminent corps of Physicians and Surgeons, each devoting his whole time and attention to some particular branch of practice, by which the greatest skill is attained, while R. V. PIERCE, M. D., is the Physician and Surgeon in-chief, and is consulted in all important cases. Thousands of cases are annually treated, and each has the advantage of an educated and eminent Council of Physicians.
AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
We learn that Dr R. V. Pierce, proprietor of the "World's Dispensary," in this city has perfected the purchase of a large lot of land, on which he proposes to erect a large hotel for the accommodation of his numerous patients, coming hither from all points of the compass The land purchased by the enterprising Doctor is 234 feet front on Prospect Avenue, running through to Fargo Avenue, 332 feet ; also an adjoining lot extending from the above to Connecticut Street. It is in the midst of our exten- sive system of public parks, fronts the old and beautiful Prospect Park, is but a short distance from the " Circle " in one direction, and the " Lake Front" in the other. The site selected is a fine one, being both beautiful and healthful ; is one of the highest portions of our city, easily accessible, yet suffi- ciently retired to secure quiet, and commands a pleasant view of the lake and river, as well as of the surrounding city and country. We understand that it is the intention of Dr. Pierce to erect a hotel at the cost of at least two hundred thousand dollars. where those who come to enjoy the benefit of his treatment may find all desired accommodations under one roof, instead of being scattered over the city, as at present. We are further given to understand that our architects will be invited to submit plans for the proposed structure without delay -Buffalo Express.
DR, PIERCE'S FAMILY MEDICINES,
If you would patronize Medicines, scientifically prepared by a skilled Physician and Chemist, use Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines. Golden Medi al Discovery is nutritious, tonic, alterative, or blood cleansing, and an unequaled cough remedy ; Pleasant, Purgative Pell ts, scarcely larger than mustard seed, constitute an agreeable and reliable physic; Favorite Perscription, a remedy for debili- tated females ; Extract of Smart-Weed, a magical remedy for pain, bowel complaints, and an un- equaled liniment for both human and horse flesh ; while his Dr. Sage's ' atarrh Remedy is known the world over as the greatest specific for Catarrh and "Cold in the Head " ever given to the public,

They are written for the month or year. They insure men of all occupations and professions. They insure against general accidents. They cost but a small sum. Their cost is the same, all ages from 18 to 65. They are valuable to all classes of men.
"Every day there are fresh proofs of the great value of life insurance. It is beneficent, without being charitable. It confers a right, which is better than charity. Real life insurance does not offer to take up a collection at your funeral-it guarantees to pay the sum named in the contract. The life compa- nies of this country are paying upwards of a million and a half every month to the families of deceased policy-holders. It saves widows from poverty, and orphans from suffering. It is to be regarded as a protection rather than as an investment. Yet in the vicissitudes of business it often proves to be the best investment, even in a merely pecuniary point of view. It doesn't make money, but it is first rate for saving it."
