Unlimited RENE dial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR.. PIERCE
Family Medicines represent the entire extent OF
resources for curing disease. This is an error.
Experience proved that while the Golden Medical
Discovery, Favorite Prescriptions, Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets, Compound Extract Of Smart Weed
and DR.. Sage's Catanh Remedy, would if faithful
ly used cure large variety of chronic complaint,
there would be here and there a case which, from
its severity, or from its complication with other
disorders would resist their action. These excep-
tional cases required q thorough examination into
their symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under which the
patient was laboring, and the specific remedies to
meet and overcome the same. This led 10 the
establishment of the Worlds Dispensary at Bufa-
10, n. Y, with its Faculty Of Physicians and Sur
geons, each of whom is skilled in the treatment Of
chronic disorders in general and those belonging
to his own special department in particular. To
one is assigned diseases of the throat and lungs
to another, diseases of the kidneys and urogenital
organs to another, diseases of the nervous system
and to another, diseases of the eye and ear. Thus
the highest degree Of perfection in medicine and
surgery is attained The establishment of this in
sttutlon enables the Doctor to meet a long -fe 1t
want in the treatment of the more severe chronic
affections. by careful consideration of the SYM
toms as given in writing, he successfully treats
thousands OF cases at their homes. Others visit
the Dispensaiy IN person. The amplest resources
for the treatment Of lingering affections are thus
place at the disposal of every patient, and those
on whom the proprietary medicines do not have
the desired effect can procure more thoroug
and efficient course by a personal application TO

An Item for Railway Men.

We do not feel any personal effects
from the rapid motion Of the earth
in its revolution from west to east,
but there is little doubt that some
such effects exist. Everything on the
earth is dragged, SO to speak, after it,
and curious result of this is observ-
ed upon railway lines running north
and south. On such railways the
eastern line wears out faster than the
western, while the western ''creeps"
orfmoves slighly to the south faster
than its fellow. This can only be due
to the greater weight of n train upon
the eastern lines of rails, thus wearing
them out and preventing their "creep-
ing" The wheels running on the
eastern line also wear out faster, and
this arises probably from the same
cause. New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
