Wonders of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which sci
minute particulars in their several de-
partments, appears almost miraculous il
we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take for example the electromagnetic
telegraph-the greatest invention Of the
age. Is it not a marvellous degree Of ac-
curacy which enables an operator to ex-
actly locate fracture in a submarine ca
bic nearly three thousand miles long
Our venerable clerk of the weather has
become so thoroughly familiar with those
most wayward elements of nature that
he can accurately predict their move
ments. He can sit in Washington and
foretell what the weather will be to-
morrow in Florida or New York, as we'll
as if several hundred miles did not in
tervene between him and the places
named And so in all departments o!
modern science, what is required is the
knowledge Of certain signs. From these
the scientists deduce accurate conclu-
sions regardless Of distance. A few fos-
sils sent to the expert geologist enable
him to accurately determine the rock.
formation from which they were taken.
lie can describe it to you as 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
if that luminary were not ninety-fve
million miles from his laboratory. The
sun sends certain signs over the "infni-
tude Of space" and the chemist classifes
them by passing them through the spec
troscope. Only the presence Of certain
substances could produce these solar
signs. So also, in medical science, dis
eases have certain unmistalable signs, or
symptoms, and by reason of this fact,

has been enabled to originate and per-
feet a system Of determining, with the
greatest accuracy, the nature Of chronic
examining his patients. lie has spared
neither pains nor expense to associate
with himself, as the Faculty Of the
Worlds Dispensary, large number Of
medical gentlemen Of rare attainments
and skill-graduates from some Of the
most famous Medical Colleges and Uni
versities Of both Europe and America
By aid OF DR.. Pierce's system Of diagno-

ally treat, with the most gratifying sue
cess, many thousands Of invalids without
ever seeing them in person. In recog-
nizing diseases without ever seeing them
in person. In recognizing diseases with
out personal examination Of the patient
they claim to possess no miraculous pow
ers. They attain their knowledge of the
patients disease by the practical applica-
ton Of well established principles of
modern science to tile practice of medi-
cine. And it is TO the accuracy with |
which this system has endowed them !
that they owe their worldwide reputa-
ton for the skillful treatment Of all lin
gering or chronic affections. This sys-
tenn of practice and the marvellous sue
cess which has been attained through it, /
demonstrate the fact that diseases dis |
play certain phenomena, which being /
subjected to scientific analysis or syn
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistaka- |
BILE data to guide the judgment of the |
skillful practitioner Alright in determin- |
ing the nature of diseased conditions. |
The amplest resources for treating lin |
gering or chronic diseases, and the great

reach of every invalid. however distant |
