WONDERS or MODERN SCIENCE.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deducs the most minute par

OF the early ages. Take for example the

chronic affections. This system Of practice
and the marvellous success which has been
attained through 1t, demonstrate the fact
that diseases display certain phenomena,
which being subjected to scientific analysis

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
