4 FAMOUS INSTITUTION
The Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute ofBuHalo, NY.

What can be accomplished by judici-
Gus enterprise, when backed up by abili-
ty 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 DIR. Ray V
Pierce, who established the institution
many years ago, and is to-day its man
aging director and president. A beauti-
full iye-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 them from all over the Uni
ted 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 ex-
perienced specialist who is thoroughly
familiar with the case. A material aid
to the medical treatment are the ma
| chimes for giving s'mechanical move
ments," or massage, electricalapparatus,
Turkish baths, ETC., with which the Ho-
tel is thoroughly equipped. Large and
! airy rooms, parlors, reading rooms, ele-
| vator, and many other conveniences
make this pleasant remedial home, and
far different from the private hospitals
| as commonly known. The Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association of which
Dr., Pierce is President, is the owner Of
the Invalids' Hotel, and the large labor
atory, called the Worlds Dispensary, as
| we'll. 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-
featuring DR.. Pierce's Faverite Presclip-
ton, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, DR.. Pierce's Ex-
tract Of Smart Weed. or Water Pepper.
These are proprietary remedies which
have 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 Buffalo to points East, West
and South. An idea of the extensive
business carried on by this Association
can be gained By what is said of it by
the postoMce authorities at Washington,
D. G., 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 80 900 to AZ, 900
pieces daily. The first story of the
Worlds Dispensary Luilding is occupied
by the shipping department; the second
floor is devoted to the large newspaper
advertising department and the mailing;
third floor, printing room and bindery;
fourth floor, drug mills and paper ware
rooms; fifth floor, bot Ting, wrapping
and packing depart ment s on the sixth
floor il. one Of the best planned labora-
tories in Ms country, N charge sf : thor
