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 for example the
electromagnetic t~elegraph-the greatest in
vention of the age. Is it not q marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an opera
tor to Grdctly locate a fracture in a subma-
rine cable nearly three thousand miles long?
Our venerable g clerk of the weather. has
become so thoroughly familiar with those
most hayward 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 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 re-
gardlcss of distance. A few fossils sent to
the expert geologist enable him to accurate
lv determine the ro~ck-formation from which
they were taken. He can describe it TO you
as perfectly as if a cleft Of it were lying on
his table. So salsO the chemist can deter
mine the constitution of the sun as accu-
rateiv as if that luminary were not ninety
five million miles from his laboratory. The
SUI sends certain signs over the "ininitude
Of Space and the chemist GassifieS them
by passing them through the spectroscope.

BY aid of DIR. PiercG's SYSTEM of diagnosis,
these physicians and surgeons annually
tre at, with the most gratifying success, many
thousands of invalids without ever seeing
them in person. In recognizing diseases
without a personal examination of the pa
ticnt they claim to possess no miraculous
powers. They attain their knowledge OF the
patients disease by the practical application
of wcll-established principles of modern
science to the practice of medicine. And it
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 atfec-
tiOns. This system of practice and the
marvellous success which has been attained
through it, demonstrate the fact that dis
eases display certain phenomena, which,
being subjected to scientific analysis on 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 making the treatment
of such affections a speciality. The peculi-
arities of this scientific system of practice
are fully explained in the Appendix of The
