wonders of modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minute par
ticulars in their several departments ap-
pears 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 mary velous
degree of accuracy which enables an operator
to eractly locate fracture in a submarine
cable nearly three thousand miles long
Our venerable clerk Of the weather. has be-
come so thoroughly familiar with those most
wayward elements of nature that he can ac-
curately 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-
gardless of distance. A few fossils sent to
the expert geologist enable him to accurately
determine the rock 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 also the chemist can determine
the constitution Of the sun as accurately as
if that luminary were not ninety.fiye million
miles from his laboratory. The sun sends
, certain signs over the "infnitude of space"
2 and the chemist classifes them by passing
, them through the spectroscope. Only the
/ presence of certain substances could produce
|
e diseases have certain unmistakable signs or
Q symptoms, and by reason of this fact DIR.

Is without ever seeing them in person. In
n- recognizing diseases without personal ex-
TO animation of the patient, they claim to pos
IL sess no miraculous powers. They attain
W their knowledge of the patients disease by
the practical application of well-established

ID which this system has endowed them that
ID they eve their almost worldwide reputation
N for the skillful treatment of all lingering or
es chronic affections. This system Of practice

data to guide the judgment of the skillfull
