Wonders of Modern Science.

Tho perfect accuracy with which scientists
IRE enabled to deduce the most minute particu-
lars IN theit sevetal departments appears al
most miraculous, if we viewit in the light OF this
early ages. Take for example the electro-mag-
netic telegraph-the greatest invention of the
age. Is it not marvellous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to erdctiy locate
fracture in submarine cable nearly three thou
sand miles long? Our venerable 'clerk of the
weather" has become SO thoroughly familiar
with those most hayward elements of nature
that he can accurately predict their movements.
Hb can sit in Washington and forstell T4hat The
weather will be tomorrow i'll Florida or New
York, as well as if several hundred miles did not
intervene between him and the places named.
And so in all departments of modern science,
what is required is the knowledge of certain
signs. From these the scientists deduce accu-
rate conclusions regardless of distance. A few
fossils sent to the expert geologist enable him
to accurately determine the rOck-formatlOn from
which they were taken. He can desctibe 1T to
you perfectly as if a cleft of it were lying on
his table, So also the chemist can determine
the constitution of the sun as accurately as II
that luminary were not nlnety-flve million miles
from his laboratory. The sends certain
signs over the ''infinitude of space" and the
chemist classifies them by passing them through
the spectroscope. Only the presence OF GER
tain substances could produce these solar signs.
So also, in medical science, diseases have GER
tain unmstakable signs or symptoms and by
reason of this fact, DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds
DisDensary has been enabled to originate and
est accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases with
Dit seeing and personally examining bis patients
He has spared neither pains nor expense to as
sociate> with himself, the Faculty OF the
Worlds Dfspensary, large number of medical
gentlemen of rare attainments and sklll-grad-
yates from some of the most famous Medical
Colleges and Universities of both Europe and
America. By aid of DIR. Pierce's system of di-
agnosis, these physicians and surgeons annual
~ treat, with the most gratifying success, many
thousands of invalids without ever seeing them
in person. In recognizing diseases without
personal examination of the patient they claim
to possess miraculous powers. They attain
their knowledge of the patients disease by the
practical application of we-estahished princi-
Piles of modern science to the practice of medi-
cine. And it is to the accuracy with which this
system has endowed them that they owe their
almost worldwide reputation for the skillful
treatment of all lingering or chronic affections.
This system of practice. and the marvellous sue
cess which has been attained through it, demon
strate the fact that diseases display certain phe
nomina, which, being subjected to scientific
alysis synthesi5, furnish abundant and
mistakahle data to guide the Judgment of the
skillful practitioner Alright in determining the
nature of diseased conditions. The ampest
sources for treating lingering chronic dis
eases, and the greatest skill, are thus placed
within the easy reach of every invalid. however
distant he or she may reside from the physicians
making the treatment of such affections spe-
cialty. The pecuiarities of this scientific system
of practice are fully explained in the Appendix
of The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adj
