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 if we view it in the light
of the early ages Take for example the
electro magnetic telegraph-the greatest in>
vcntion of the age. Is it not marvellous
degree of accuracy which enables On operator
to Exactly locate fracture in q eubmarine ca
BILE nearly three thousand miles long? Our
venerable 'clerk of the weather" has become
so thoroughly familiar with those most way
ward elements of nature that be can accurate-
ly predict their movements. He can sit in
Washington and foretell what the weather
will be to- morrow 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
signs. From these the scientists deduce ac>
cnra,e conclusions regardless OF distance.
few fossils sent to the expert geologist enable
him to accurately determine the rock>forma>
tion from which they were taken. He can
describe it to you as perfectly as if cleft OF
il were lying on bis table. So also the
chemist can determine the constitution Of
the sun as accurately as if that luminary
were not ninety five million miles from bis
laboratory. The sun sends certain signs over
the ''in6nitudc of space" and the chemist
Classics them by passing them through the
spectroscope. Only the presence Of certain
substances could produce these solar signs.
So also, in medical science, diseases have
certsin unmistskable signs, or symptoms.
Dispensary, has been enabled to originate
and perfect q system Of determining, with
the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic
diseases without seeing and personally ex-
aiming his patients. He has spared neither
pains or expense to associate with himself, as
the Faculty of the Worlds Dispensary,
large number of medical gentlemen of rare
attainments and skill-graduates from some
of the most famous Medical Colleges and
Universities of both Europe and America.
By aid of DR.. Pieroe's system of diagnosis,
these physicians and surgeons annually treat,
with the most gratifying success, many thou>
sands of invalids without ever seeing them
in person. In recognizing diseases without
q personal examination 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 it is to the accuracy with
which this system hiss endowed them that
they owe their almost worldwide reputation
for the skilliul treatment of all lingering or
chronic affections. This system of practice
and the marvellous success which has been
attained through it. demonstrate the fact that
diseases display certain phenomena. which be-
ing subjected to scientific analysis or synshesis,
furnish abundant and unmistskable data to
guide the judgment of the skillful practitioner
Alright in determining the nature of diseased
conditions. Tho amplest resources for treat>
ing lingering or chronic diseases. and the
preatest skill are thus placed within the easy
reach of every invalid, however distant he or
she may reside from the physicians making
the treatment of such affections specially.
The peouliarities of this scientific system of
practice are fully explained in the Appendix
of "Ths Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser,"-a book Of over nine hundred large
poges, which is SO popular as to have reached
a sale of almost one hundred thousand copies
within few months of its first publication.
