MOnhers of Mndern Science.


scientists are enabled to deduce the most
minute particulars in their several de-
partments, appears almost miraculous
if we view it in the light of the early
ages. Take for example the electro
magnetic telegraph-the greatest inven-
| ton of the age. Is il not a marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an
operator to exactly locate fracture in
! miles long? Our venerable "clcrk of
| the weather" has become so thorough,
familiar with these most wayward ele-
ments of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements. lie can sit in
Washington and fortell what the wealth
er 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 so in all depart
ments of modern science, what is re-
quired is the knowledge of certain signs.
From these the scientists deduce accu-
rate conclusions regardless of distance.
A few fossils sent to the expert geolog-
| ist enable him to accurately determine
tho rock-formation from which they
were taken. lie 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-fivc million miles from his labor
atory. The sun sends certain signs
ever the intinitude of space" and the
chemist classifies them by passing them
through the spectroscope. Only the
presence ofcertain substances could pro-
duce these solar signs. So also, i'm medi-
cal science, diseases have certain unmis-
taxable signs, or symptoms, and by
reason of this fact, DR.. Pierce, of the
Worlds Dispensary, has been enabled
to originate and perfect a systOm of
determining, with the greatest accuracy,
the nature of chronic diseases without
seeing and personally examining his
patients. He has spared neither pains
nor expense to associate with himself
as the faculty ofthe Worlds Dispensary,
large number of medical gentlemen of
rare attainments and skill-graduate
from some of the most famous medical
colleges and universities of both Europe
and America. By aid of DR.. Pierce's
system of diagnosis, these physicians
and surgeons annually 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 miracu-
lOus powers. They attain their knowl-
edge of the patients disease by the
practical application of well established
principles of modern science to the
practice of medicine. And it is to the
accuracy with which this system has

most worldwide reputation for the
skillful treatment of all lingering or
chronic affections. This system of
practice and the marvellous success
which has been attained through it, de-
mOnstrate the fact that diseases display
certain phenomena, which being sub
jected to scientific analysis or synthcsis.
furnish abundant and unmistakable data
to guide the Judgment of the skilful
practitioner Alright in determining the
nature of diseased conditions. The am
plest resources for treating lingering or
chronic diseases, 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
specially. The peculiarities of this
scientific system of practice are fully
explained in the appendix of "The Peo-
pies Common Sense Medical Adviser"
book of over nine hundred large pa
ges, which is so popular as TO have
reached a sale of almost one hundred
thousand copies within few months of
its first publication. 1t is sent Vost-
