What can be accomplished by judicious
enterprise, when backed up by ability
and professional skill, is shown by the
magnificent buildings of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo.
This model sanitarium furnishes one of
the sights of Buffalo, not alone for it's
architectural beauty, but on account of
the worldwide fame of DR.. Ray V. Pierce,
who established the institution many
years ago, and is to day its managing
director and president. A beautiful five
story building situated on Main Street,
the principal business street of Buffalo,
the Invalids' Hotel can we'll be said to
surpass any institution of it's kind in the
country.
Sixteen physicians form the medical
staff of this institution, who devote their
time to the patients in the building, and
to correspondence by letter with patients
who consult themfrom'all over the United
States. Each physician or surgeon is
chosen for his skill and proficiency in
the patient has for his physician an ex-
perienced specialist who is thoroughly
familiar with the case. A material aid to
the medical treatment are the machines
for giving mechanical movements" or
massage, electrical apparatus, Turkish
baths, ETC., with which the Hotel is thor
oughly equipped. Large and airy rooms,
parlors, reading rooms, elevator and many
other conveniences make this.

Dispensary Medical Association, of which
DR.. Pierce is President, is the owner of
the Invalid's Hotel, and the large labor
atory, called the Worlds Dispensary, as
well. Standing on the same lot, which
runs through to the next street back, is
the huge laboratory, six stories in height
which furnishes ample room for manu-

tract of Smart-Weed, or Water Pepper
These are proprietary remedies which
have been sold for over quarter of a
century all over the United States, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Carloads OF
these medicines are shipped every day
from Buffalo to points East, West and
South. An idea of the extensive business
carried on by the association can be gain
ed by what is said of it by the postoffce
authorities at Washington, D. G., who re-
port 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 10000 to 10000 pieces daily. The
first story of the Worlds Dispensary
building is occupied by the shipping de-
partment; the second floor lie devoted to
the large newspaper advertising depart
nent and the mailing; third floor printing
room and bindery; fourth floor drug
mills and paper warerooms; fifth floor
bottling, wrcpping and packing depart
ment; on the sixth floor is one of
THE BEsT-PLANNED LABORATORIES
in the country, in charge of a thoroughly
scientific chemist, formerly of the Har-
ward medical school laboratory. In fact,
the equipment, the machinery and the
system with which these large institutions
are equipped, and the marvellous manner
in which everything works along as
though by clockwork, would well repay
visit to Buffalo.
