wonders OF Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
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 Tor example tne
electro mas ghetto telegraph-the greatest in
vention of the age. Is it not marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an opera
tor to erdctly locate a fracture in subma-
rine cable 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 movements. He
can sit in Washington and foretell what the
weather will be tomorrow in Florida or
New York, as well as fseveral 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 accurate conclusions re-

medical science, diseases have certain I'M

large number of medical gentlemen OF rare
attainments and undergraduates from some
of the most famous Medical Colleges aud

these physi,i ans and surgeons annually

| thousands of inValids without ever seeing
them in person. In recognizing diseases
without a personal examination OF the pa

powers. They attain their knowledge OF the
| paticut's disease by the practical application
Of well-cstablishcd principles OF modern
science to the practice of medicine. And 1t
! is 10 the accuracy with which this system
has endowed them that they owe their al
most worldwide reputation for the sklllIul
treatment of all lingering or chronic ahec-
| tons. This system of practice and tne
marvellous success which has been attained
through It, demonstrate the fact that dis
| cases display certain phenomena, when,
bel subj cted to scientific analysis or syn
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistakahle
cata to guide the judgment of the sklllful
practitioner Alright in determining the ma
ture of diseased conditions. The amplest
resources for treating lingering or chrome
diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus
placed within the easy reach of every inva-
I'D, however distant he or she may reside
from the physicians making the treatment
of such aft ciions a speciality. The peeuli-
arities Of this scientific system OF pr3cIlce
are fully explained in the Appendix OF The
