Wonders OF Modern, Science.

The perfect dcc,racy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minutepar-
ticulars in their several departments, up
pears almost miraculous if we view it in the
light of the early ages. Take for example
the electro magnetic telegraph-the greatest
invention of the age. Is it not a marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables an opera
tor toieracly locate fracture in, "a subma-
rine cable nearly. three thousand miles long2
Our. venerable ''clerk of the weather. has
become SO thoroughly familiar with those
most wayWard, elements of nature that he
can accurstely predict their movements.
He cam sit iii 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. de-
partments of modern science, what is re-
ouired is;;, the knowledge of certain signs:
From these the scientists deduce ACCURATE
conclusions regardless of distance. A. few
fossils sent to the expert geologist enable
him to accurately determine the rock-for-
nation from which they were taken. He
can describe it to you as perfectly as II a
cleft of it were lying on his: table! 30 also
the chemist can determine the constitution
of the sun as ccurately as If that lumlnary
were not ninety-fve million miles from his
laboratory. The sun sends certain signs
over the. "infinitude OF space" and inc
chemist classifies them by passing them
ence 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, Dr.
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 as
sociate with himself, as the Faculty of the
Worlds Dispensary, large number OF med,
icaI gentlemen of rare attainments and
skillSgraduates from some Of the most to
nous Medical Colleges and Universities OF
both. Europe and America. BY aid OF Dr.
Pierce's system of diagnosis, these physi-
clans and surgeons annually treat, with the
most gratifying success. many thousands OF
inValids without ever seeing 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 rs to the accuracy with
which this system has endowed them that
thew owe their almost world divide reputation
for the skillftil 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 subjected to scientific analysis
or synthesis, furnish abundant, and unmis-
taxable data to guide the Judgment 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
thas placed within the easy reach OF every
invalid, however distant he OF she may re-
side from the physicians making the treat
ment of such affections especially. 1.-The
peculiarities of this scientific system Of prac.
tice are fully. explained in the ;Appendix OF
