What can be accomplished by ,Jud1cious
enterprise. when backed up by ability and
professional skill, is shown by the magnlfi,
Gent buildings of the Inyalid's Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffalo; rms mooed
sanitarium furnishes one of the sights OF
Buffalo, not alone for its architectural
beauty, but on account of the world wide
fame of DR.. Ray V. Pierce, who established
day its managing director and president.
A beautiful fve-story building situated on
Main Street, the principal business street
of Buffalo, the lnvalids Hotel can well be
said to surpass any institution of its kind
in the country.
Sixteen physicians form the medical sta If
of this Institution, who devote their time to
the patients in the building, and to CORE
spondence by letter with patients who con-
suit them from all over the United States.
Each physician or surgeon is chosen for his
skill and proficiency in curing one class OF
chronic disease. Thus the patient has for
his physician an experienced specialist who
is thoroughly familiar with the case. A ma
terial aid to the medical treatment are the
machines for giving mechanical move
ments," or massage, electrical apparatus,
Turkish baths, etc, with which the Hotel is
rooms, parlors, reading rooms, elevators,
and many other conveniences make this
A PLEASANT REMEDIAL HOME,
and far different from the private hospitals
as commonly known. The Worlds Dispen-
sary Medical Association, of which DR..
Pierce is President, is the owner OF the In
valids' Hotel, and the large laboratory, call
ed the Worlds Dispensary, as we'll. stand

the next street back, is the huge, labratory,
six stories in height, which furnishes ample
room for manufacturing DR.. Pierce'S Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Dr.. Plerce's Pleas
ant Pellets. DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
Dr. Pierce's Extract of art-Weed, or Wa
ter Pepper These are proprietary remedies
which nave been sold for over a quarter OF
a century all over the United States, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Carloads of
these medicines are shipped every day from
An idea.of The extensive business carried on
by this Association can be gained by what
is said of it by the postotice authorities at
Washington, d. c., who report that this
one firm spends annually for stamps more
than all the banks and newspapers OF
Buffalo combined, or over 100000. The
mail matter amounts to from 81, 900 to 10000
pieces daily. The first story of the Worlds
Dispensary building is occupied by the

THE BEST-PLANNED, LABORATORIES
in the country, in charge of a thoroughly
scientific chemist, formerly of the Harvard
medical school laboratory. IN fact, the
equipment, the machinery and the system
euipped, and the marvellous manner in
which everything works along as though by
clockwork, would well repay visit to
