Wonders of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minute particu-
lars III their several departments appears al
most miraculous, II we viewit in theGght of the
early ages. Take for example the electro-mag-
netc telegraph-the greatest invention of the
age. 1s1t not marvellous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to erdctEu locate
fracture In submarine cable nearly three thou
sand miles long? Ohr venerable tsclerk of the
weather" has become so thoroughly familiar
with those most hayward elements of nature
that he can accurately predict their movements
He can sit in Washington and foretell what the
weather will be tomorrow in Florida or New
York, as well as if several hundred miles did not
intervene between him and the places named.
And 80 in all departments of modern science.
what is required is the knowledge of certain
SlgsaS. From these the scientists deiluce accu-
rate conclusions regardless of distance. A few
fossils sent to the expert geologist enable him
to accurately determine the rock-formadon from
which they were taken. He can describe it to
you as perfectly as if cleft of it were lying on
his table. So also the chemist can determine
the constitution of the sun as accurately as if
that luminary were not ninety-five million miles
from his laboratory. The sun sends certain
signs over the ''infinitude of space" and the
chemist Classics them by passing them through
the spectroscope. Only the presence of GER
tain substances could produce these solar signs.
80 also, In medical science, diseases have GER
tain unmistakable signs or symptoms, and by
reason of this fact DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds
Dispensary, has been enabled to originate and
perfect system of determining, with the great
est accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases with
out seeing and personally examining his patients.
He has spared neither pains nor expense to as
sociate with himself, as the Faculty of the
Worlds Dispensary, a large number OF medical
gentlemen of rare attainments and skill-grad-
yates from some of the most famous Medical
Colleges and Universities Of both Europe and
America. By aid of DIR. Pieroe'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 no miraculous powers. They attain
their knowledge Of the patients disease by the
practical application of wel-established princi-
pies OF modern seience 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 throughit. demon
strate the fact that diseases display certain phe-
nonllna, which, being subjected to scientific an
alysis or synthesis, furnish abundant and I'M
mistakable data to guide the Judgment of the
sklllful practitioner Alright in determining the
nature OF diseased conditions. The amplest re-
sources for treating lingering or 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-
calty The peculiarities Of this scientific system
of practice are fully explained in the Appendix
