eral departments, appears almost mir
aculous if we view it in the light
of the early ages. Take for example
the electro magnetic tslegraph--the
greatest invention of the age. Is it
not a marvellous degree Of accuracy

Our venerable clerk of the weather
has become SO thoroughly familiar
with those most wayward elements of
nature that he can accurately predict
| their movements. He can siS in Wash
ington and foretell what the weather
will be tomorrow in Florida or New
York as we'll as if several hundred
miles did not intervene between him
and the places named. And SO in all
departments of modern science, what
is required is the knowledge of certain
S,q1as. From these the scientists de-
duce accurate conclusion regardless of
distance A few fossils sent to the ex-
pert geologist, enable him to accurats-
" determine the rock formation from
which they were taken. He can des-
cribe it to you as perfectly as if a cleft
of it We're lying on his table. So also
the chemists can determine the consti-
tuition of the sun as if that luminary
were not ninety FIVE million miles from
his laboratory. The sun sends Ger
tain a0as over the "infnitude Of space
and the chemist classties them by
passing them through the spectre
scope. Only the presence of certain
substances could produce the solar
signs. So also in medical science, dis
eases have certain unmistakable signs,
or symptoms, and by reason of this
fact DR.. Pierce, Of the Worlds Dis
} pensary, has been enabled to originate
and perfect system of determining,
, with the greatest accuracy, the nature
J of chronic diseases without seeing and
) personally examing his patients. He
