are enabled to deduce the most minute par
ticulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous if we view it in the light
Of the early ages. Take for example the
electro magnetic telegraph-the greatest in
vention Of the age. Is 1t not a marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an opera
tor to erdcty locate Il fracture in subma-
rine cable nearly three thousand miles long?
Our venerable p" CLERK of the weather" has
become so thoroug lily familiar with those
most hayward elements of nature that he
can accurately predict their movements. He
can sit in Washington and forctcl 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 so in all departments Of
modern science, what is required is the
knowledge of certain signs. From these the
scientists dcduce accurate conclusions re-
gardless of distance. A few fossils sent to
the expert geologist enable him to accurate
ly determine the rock formation from which
they were taken. He can describe it TO you
as perfectly rs if cleft of it were lying on
his table. So also the chemist can deter
mine the constitution Of the sun as accu-
rately as that luminary were not ninety
five million miles from his laboratory. The
sun sends certain signs over the "ininitude
Of space and the chemist Classics them
by passing them through the spectroscope
Only the presence of certain substances
could produce these solar signs. SO also, in
medical science, diseases have certain un-
mlstakable signs, or symp toms, and by rea-
son of this fact Or. Pierce, of the Worlds
Dispensary, las been enabled to originate
and perfect a system Of determining, with
the greatest accuracy, the nature Of chronic
diseases without seeing and personally ex-
aiming his patients. He has spared neither
pains nor expense to associate with himself,
rs the Faculty of the Worlds Dispensary, q
large number Of medical gentlemen Of rare
attainments and skill-graduates 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 invaids without ever seeing
them in person. In recognizing diseases
without personal examination of the pa
tent they claim to possess no miraculous
powers. They attain their knowledge Of the
patients disease by the practical application
OF well-established principles Of modern
science to the practice of medicine And 1t
Is To the accuracy with which this system
has endowed them that they owe their al
most worldwide reputation for the skillful
treatment of all lingering or chronic affec
tions. This system Of practice and the
marvellous success which has been attained
through 1t, demonstrate the fact that dis
eases display certain phenomena, which,
being subjected to scientific analysis or syn
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistakable
data to guide the judgment of the skillful
practitioner Alright in determining the ma
ture OF diseased conditions. The amplest
resources for treating lingering or chronic
diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus
placed within the easy reach Of every inva-
lid, however distant he or she may reside
from the physicians maNing the treatment
of such affections speciality. The pecul.
arlties Of this scientific system OF practice
are fully explained in the Appendix Of 1.-The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser
book of over nine hundred large pages
which is so popular as to have reached sale
of almost one hundred thousand copies
within few months of its first publication.
