I happened across your most interesting site while trying to answer a friend’s question. He is an amateur historian and archeologist in Lake County, California, and had posted a photo of a barn bearing an ad for Dr Pierce’s Medical Discovery. The ad you have posted from a weekly Chico, California newspaper provides the complete answer to my friend’s question, which came down to: “What did Dr. Pierce discover?”

Dr. Pierce’s signs are everywhere. One sign inspired a wonderful steakhouse in Mishawaka, IN, called ‘Doc Pierce’s’. http://www.docpierces.com/ R.V. Pierce was based in Buffalo, NY, and actually served as a US Congressman!
I keep looking for Dr. Pierce signs but I’ve yet to see one. If you know where one is, let me know!
