WONDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE-The
PerIect accuracy with which scientists are
enabled 70 deduce the most minute partic-
uiars ic their several departments, appears
almost miraculous If we view it in the liQht
o, tie early ages. Take for example the
ectro-magnetic telegraph-the greatest in
vehtlcn OF the age. Is it not marvellous
degree OF accuracy which enables an operator
10 eroc1ty locate fracture in q submarine
caoie nearly three Thousand miles long?
Our venerable "clerk of the weather" has
become 30 thoroughly familiar with those
most wayward elements of nature that he
can accurately predict their movements
lie can sit in Washington and foretell what
the weather will be to morrow in Florida or
New York, rs well as If several hundred
miles did no: intervene between him aud the
places named. And 30 in all departments
OF modern science, what is required is the
knowledge of certain signs. From these the
scientists deduce accurate conclusions re-
gardless Of distance. A few fossils sent to
the expert geologist enable him to accurately
determine the rock-formation from which
they were taken. He can describe it to You
as perfectly as II a cleft of IL were living on
his table. So also the chemist can determine
she constitution Of the sun "a accurately 40
II that luu:inary was not ninety-hye million
miles from his laboratory. The sun sends
certain signs over the "infinituIe of spnce"
and the chemist classifes them bv passing
them through the spectroscope. Only the
presence of certain substances oould produce
these solar signs. So also, in medical science
diseases have certain nnmistakable signs or
symptoms, and by reason of this fact Dr.
Pierce, of the Worlds Dispensary, has been
enabled to originate and perfect a 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
sociafe with himself, as the Faculty of the
worlds Dispensary, q large number of med
1cal gentlem en- of rare attachments and skill
graduates from some of the most famous
Medical Colleges and Universities os both
Europe and America. By aid of DIR. Pierce's
system OF diagnosis. these physicians and
surgeons annually treat, with the most graf.
flying success many thousands of invalids
without ever seeing them in person. In rec
o2nizing diseases without a personal exami-
nation of the patient they claim to possess
no miraculous powers. They attain their
knowledge of the patients disease By the
practical application of we'll established
principles of modern science to the practice
of medicine. And 1t is to the accuracy with
which this system has endowed them that
they owe their almost world wide reputation
for the skillful treatment Of all lingering or
chronic affections. This system of practice
and the marvellous success which has been
attained through il, demonstrate the fact that
diseases display certain phenomena, which
being subjected to scientific analysis or syn
thesis, furnish abundant and unmistakable
data to guide the Judgment of the skillful
practitioner Alright IN determining the nature
Of diseased conditions. The amplest re-
sources for treating lingering or chronic dis
eases, and the greatest skill, are thus placed
within the easy reach of every invalid, how
ever distant he or she may reside from the
physicians making the treatment of such af-
fCctions a specially. The Peculiarities OF
this scientific system of practice are fully
explained in .he Appendix of 1.-THE Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser,"-a book
of over nine hundred large pages which is
40 popular as to have reached q sale of almost
one hundred thousand copies within few
months of its first publication. 1t is sent
(post-p by the Author to any address on
receipt of one dollar and fifty cents. Ad-
