Wonders Of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which sci
eptis.s 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 :he age. Is it not
marvellous degree of accuracy which en-,

nature that he can accurately predict their
movements. He can sit in Washington
and foretell what the weather will be to.

so in all departments of modern science,
| what is required is the knowledge of Ger
tain signs. From these the scientists de-
duce accurate conclusions regardless of
distance. A few fossils sent to the expert
geologist enable him to accurately deter
mine the rock formation from which they
were taken. He can describe it to you as
perfectly as if cleft of it were lying on
his table. So also the chemist can deter
mine the constitution of the san as accu-
rately as if that luminary were not ninety
five million miles from his laboratory. The
sun sends certain signs over the "inflni-
tude OF space" and the chemist Classics
them by passing them through the spec
troscope. Only the presence 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 deter
mining, with the greatest accuracy, the
nature of chronic diseases without seeing
and personally examining bis 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 attainmen
and skill-graduates from some of the
most famous Medical Colleges and Uni
veTs ties of both Europe and America. By
aid of DIR. Pjerce's system of diagnosis,
these physicians and surgeons annual
treat, with the most gratifying success, many
thousands of inyallds without ever seeing
them IN person. In recognizing diseases
without personal examination OF the pa
tient, they claim to possess TO miraculous
powers. They attain their knowledge of
the patients disease by the practical appIi-
cation of the well-established principles of
modern sciences to the practice of medicine
And it is to the accuracy with which this
system hiss 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 at
tanned 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 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 a speciality. The pecu-
liarities Of this ientifc system Of practice
are fully explained in the Appendix of
