Wonders of Modern Science.

entists are enabled to deduce the most mi
mute particulars in their several depart
ments, appear 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 marvellous degree of accurac Y
which enables an operator to erdctLy locate
q fracture in a submarine cable Ne arly
| three thousand miles long? Our venerable
clerk of the weather" has becrme so thor
oughly 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. Aud so in all departments of
modern science, what is required is the
knowledge of certain signs. From these
the scientists deduce accurate con-
illusions regardless of distance. A few fos-
sils sent to the expert geologist enable him
to accurately determine the rock forma-
ton from which they were taken. He can
describe 1t 10 you as perfectly rs if cleft
OF 1t were lying on his table. So also the
chemist can determine the constitution of
the sun as accurately as if that luminsry
were not ninety-fve million miles from
his laboratory. The sun sends certain signs
over the "lnfnitude of space" and the
chemist Classics them by passing them
through the spectroscope. Only the pres
enca of certain subs ancs could produce
these solar signs SO, also, in medical SCI
ence, diseas 8 have certa n unmistakab g
signs, or mptons, and by reason of this
fact, DR.. Pierce, of the Worlds Medical
Dispensary, has been enabled to originate
and perfect a system of determining, with
diseases without seeing aud personally ex-
aiming his patients. He has spared
neither pains nor expense to ass )ciate with
himself, as the Faculty OF the Worlds Dis
pensary, a large number OF medical gent E.
men OF rare attainmeats and skill-gradu-
ates from some of the most famous medi-
cal Colleges and Universities of both Europe
and America. By aid of DR.. PieTces 81 s.
tenn of diagnosis, these physicians and sar-
geons annually treat, with the most graft
flying success, many thousands of invalids
without ever seeing them in person. 10
recognizing diseases without pels onal ex-
animation of the patient, they claim to
possess no miraculous powers. They at
tain their knowledge of the patients diease
by the practical application of well estab-
llshed principles of modern science to the
practice of medicine. And il is to the &C
curacy with which this system has co.
dowed them that they owe their almost
Werlu-Wloe reputation Tor the sklllful
treatment OF all lingering or chronic AZTEC
tons. This system of practice, and the
marvellous success which has been attained
through it, demonstrate the fact that dig
eases display certain phenomena, which be-
ing subjected to scientific analysis or syn
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistaks Die
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 in
valid, however distant he or she may reside
from the physicians making the treatment
of such affections specislty. The PECULIAR.
ties of this scientific system of practice are
fully explained in the Appendix of The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser, u
"a book of over nine hundred large pages
which is so popular as to have reached a
sale of almost one hundred thousand cop
les within a few months of its first pub.
