Ray Vaughn Pierce (1840-1914) was a U.S. Representative from New York who, as Dr. Pierce, promoted and sold questionable medicinal products. For example, his Golden Medical Discovery, which was advertised as a sort of panacea, actually contained quinine, alcohol, and opium. After his passing in 1914, his son Valentine Mott took over the business. Dr. Pierce's products were sold until the 1970s.. Book. Book Condition: Fine.
