Wonders of Modern Science.

The perfect accuracy with which scientists
are enabled to deduce the most minute par
ticulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous il we view it in the ight OF
the early ages. Take for example the cleo
tro-magnetic telegraph-the greatest inven-
ton OF the age. Is it not "a marvellous degree
OF accuracy which enables an operator to ex-

what is required is the knowledge Of certain

few fossils sent to the expert geologist enable
him to accurately determine the rock forma-

describe it to you as perfectly as If cleft of it

practical application OF we'll established
principles Of modern science to the practice OF
medicine. And tits to the accuracy with which
this system has endowed them that they owe
their almost worldwide reputation for the
skill'ul treatment OF all lingering or chronic
affections. This system OF practice and the
marvellous success which has been attained
through it, demonstrates tho fact that d.
seases display certain phenomena, which be-
ing subjected to scientific analysis or synthe-
sis, furnish abundant and unmistakable data
to guide the judgment of the skilltul practi-
toner aright; in determining the nature of
diseased conditions. The amplest resources
tor treating lingering or chronic diseases, and
the greatest skill, are thus placed within the
easy reach of every invalid, however distant
he or she may reside from the physicians
