Wonders of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minute partic
ulars in their several departments, appears al
most miraculous if we view il i'll the light of
the early ages. Take for example the electro
magnetic telegraph-the greatest invention of
the age. Is it not marvellous degree of ac-
curacy which enables the operator to exactly
locate fracture in a submarine cable nearly
three thousand miles long? Our venerable
'sclerk Of the weather. has become so thoro1y
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 if several
hundred miles did not intervene between him
and the places named. And so in all depart
mcnts of modern science, what is required is
the knowledge of certain signs. From these
the scientists deduce accurate conclusions re-
CARELESS of distance A few fossils sent to the
expert geolegist enable him to accurately de-
termine the Transformation from which they
we're taken He can describe it to you as per-
fectly as if cleft Of it were lying on his table.
So also the chemist can determine the consti-
tuition of the sun as accurately as if that lumln-
airy were not ninety five million miles from his
laboratory. The. sun sends certain signs over
the ''infuitude of space" and the chemist clas-
sites them by passing them through the spec
tro-scope. Only the presence of certain SUBJ
stances could produce these solar signs SO
also, in medical science, diseases have certain
unmistakable signs,or symp,oms,and by reason
of this fact, DR.. Fierce, of the Worlds Dispen-
sary, has been able to originate and perfect
system of determining, with the greatest accu>
racy, 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, large number Of medical
gentlemen of rare attainments and skill-grad-
yates from some of the most famous Medical
Colleges and Universities of both Europe and
America. BY aid of DR.. Perce's system of
diagnosis, these physicians and surgeons annu>
ally treat, with the most gra flying success,
many thousands of invalids without ever see
ing them in person. In recognizing diseases
without 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 to the
practice OF medicine And it is to the accu
racy 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 system Of
practice and the marvellous success which has
been attained through it, demonstrate the fact
that diseases display certain phenomena, which
being subject to scientific analysis or synthesis,
furnish abundant and unmistkable data to guide
the judgement of the skillful practitioner
Alright in determining the nature of diseased
conditions. The amplest recources for treat
ing 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 physician making the
treatment of such affections a speciality. The
peculiarities of this scientific system Of prae-
tice are fully explained in the Appendix of
