WONDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE.

The perfect accuracy with which scien.
lists are enabled to deduce the most minute
particulars in their several departments
appears almost miraculous if we view it in
the light of the early ages. Take for
example the electro ro-magnetic telegraph
the greatest invention of the age. Is it
not marvellous degree of accuracy which
enables an operator to eC0ctLy locate q
fracture in submarine 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 Washing
ton and foretell what the weather will be
tomorrow in Florida or New York, as we'll
as if several hundred miles did not inter-
vene 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 to the expert
geolegist enable him to accurately de-
termine the ock-formation from which
they were taken. lie can describe it to you
as perfectly as if cleft of it were lying on
his table. So also the chemist can deter
mine the constitution of the sun as accura-
tely as if that luminary were not ninety
uNo HllLSS lTOul HIS lHuOrdLOTy.
The sun sends certain signs over the
'fnfnitude Of space" and tho chemist
classif1es them by passing them through
the spectroscopc. Only the presence of
certain substances could produce these
solar signs. So also, in medical science,
diseases have certain unmistakable signs,
or symptoms, and by reason of this fact
DIR. Pierce, of the Worlds Dispensary,
has been enabled to originate and perfect
system of determining, with the greatest
accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases
without seeing and personally examining
his patients. He has spared neither pains
nor expense to associate with himself, as
the Faculty of the Worlds Dispensary, a
large number of medical gentlemen of rare
attainmeuts 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 invalids without ever
seeing them in person. In recognizing
diseases without a 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 we'll 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 almost worldwide
reputation for the skillful treatment of all
lingering or chronic affections. This sys-
tenn of practice and the marvellous success
which has been attained through it, demon
strate the fact that diseases display certain
phenomena, which being subjected to
scientific analysis or synthesis, furnish
abundant and unmistakable data to guide
the judgement of the skillful practitioner
Alright in determining the nature 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 invalid, however
distant he or she may reside from the
physicians making the treatment of such
affections a speciality. The peculiarties of
this scientific system of practice are fully
explained in the Appendix of "The Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser,"-a book
of over nine hundred large pages, which
is SO popular as to have reached sale of
almost one hundred copies within few
months of its first publication. 1t is sent
(post- paid by the Author to any address,
on receipt of one dollar and fifty cents.
