Wonders Of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scien-
fists are enabled to deduce the most mi
mute particulars in their several depart
ments, appears almost miraculous if 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 marvellous degree of ac-
curacy which enables an operator to eT-
actly locate fracture in submarine
cable nearly three thousand miles long?
Our venerable clerk Of the weather
has become so thoroughly familiar with
those most hayward elements of nature
that he can accurately predict their move
mcnts. He can sit in Washington and
foretell what the weather will be in Flor
ida 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 deduce accurate
conclusions regardless of distance. A
few fossils sent 10 the expert geologist
enable him to accurately determine the
rock Information from which they were
taken. lie can describe to you as per-
fectly as if u cleft of it were lying on his
table. SO also the chemist can determine
tic constitution of the sun as accurately
us if that luminary were not ninety mil
lion miles from his laboratory. The sun
sends certain signs over the infnitude of
space and the chemist Classics them by
passing them through the spectroscopc.
Only the presence of certain substances
could produce these solar signs, So also,
in medicaf science, diseases have I'M
mistakablc Signs, or symptoms, and by
reason of this fact, DIR. Pierce, of the
Worlds Dispensary, has been enabled to
originate and perfect system of deter
mining, with the greatest accuracy, the
nature of chronic diseases without seeing
and personally examining his patients.
he has spared neither pains or expense to
associate with himself, as the Faculty of
the Worlds Dispensary, large number
of medical gentlemen of rare altainmentS
AMI skill graduates from some of the
most famous Medical Colleges and Uni
versities of both Europe and America.
BY aid of DR.. PiercG's system of diagno.
sis, these physicians and surgeons annual
ly treat, with most gratifying success,
many thousands of invalils without ever
seeing them in person. In recognizing
diseases without IL 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 well established
principles of modern science 10 the prac-.
lice of medicine. And it is to the accura-
cy with which this system has endowed
them that they owe their almost world
wide reputation for the skillfu treatment
of all lingering or chronic affections. The
system of practice and the marvellous sue
cess which has been attained through it.,
demonstrate the fact that diseases display
certain phenomena, which being subjected
to scientific analysis or synthesis, furnish
abundant and unmistakable data to guide
the Judgment of tho skillful practitioner
Alright in determining the nature of dis
eased conditions. The amplest resources
for treating lingering or chronic diseases,
and the greatest skill, are thus placed
within the easy reach of every invalid.

tlce are fully explained in tho Appendix
