WONDERS OF MODERN sCI-
ETEE

EsCE.
The perfect accuracy with which sci
enabled TO deduce the most minute
particulars in their several depart
ments, appears almost miraculous if
we viewit ia the light Of the early
ages. Take for example the electro
magnetic telegraph-the greatest in
vention Of the age. Is it not a marvel
Gus degree Of accuracy in a submarine
cable nearly three thousand miles
long? Our venerable "clerk of the
weather" has become so very famil-
lar with th,se most Maynard elements
Of nature that he can accurately pre-
diet their movements. He can sit in
Washington and fOretell what the
weather viii be tomorrow in Florida
or New York, as well as if several
hundred miles didn't intervene be
tween him and the places named.
And SO in all departments Of modern
science, what is required is the knowl-
edgn of certain sigas. 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
formation from which they are taken,
He can describe it to you as perfectly
as if a cleft of it were left on his table.
So also the chemist can determine the
constitution Of the sun as accurately
as if that luminary were not ninety
five million miles from his labratory.
The sun sends certain signs over the
''infnitude of space and the chemist
ciassiies them by passing them
through the spectroscope. Only the
presence of certain substances could
produce their solar signs. So also is
in medical science, diseases have Ger
tain u~nmistakable signs, or symptoms,
and by reason of this fact, DIR. Pierce,
of the Worlds Dispensary, has been
enabled to originate and perfect sys-
TEN of determining, with the greatest
accuracy, the nature of chronic dis
eases with seeing and personally ex-
aiming his patients. He has spared
neither pains nor expense to associate
with himself, as the Faculty of the
Worlds Dispensary, a large number
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 DIR. Pierce's system of diagnosis,
these physicians and surgeons annual
ly treat, with the most gratifying
success, many thousands of invalids
without ever seeing them in person.
In recognizing disease without a per
Sonal examination of the patient they
claim to possess no miraculous pow
ers. They attain their knowledge of
the patients disease by the practical
application Of well established prin-
ciples Of modern science to the prac-
tice of medicine. And it is to the ac-
curacy with which this system has
endowed them that they owe their al
most worldwide reputation for fhe
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 be-
ing subjected to scientific analysis OR
synthesis, furnish abundant and I'M
lnistakable data to guide the iudg-
ment of the skillful practitioner Alright
in determining the nature of diseased
conditions. The ampicst resources
for treating lingering OF chronic III
scases, 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 affec-
tons a specially. The ~peculiarities
Of this scientific system of practice
are fully explained in the Appendix of
The Peoples Common Sense Medical
AdAiser,"- a book of over nine hun
bred large pages, which is so popular
to have Raced a sale of almost one
hundred thousand copies within a
few months of its first publication.
