The InvaIids' Hotel and Surgical 1nsti'
tute of Buffalo, n. Y.
From, the Boston Herald.
What can be accomplished by judicious en-.
terprise, when backed up by ability and pro-
fessional skill, is shown by the magnificent
building of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute at Buffalo. This model sanitar-
ium furnishes one of the sights of Buffalo, not
alone for its architectural beauty. but on ae-
count Of the worldwide fame Of DR.. Ray V.
Pierce, who established the Institution many
years ago, and is to-day its managing director
ing situated on Main Street, the principal busi-
ness street of Buffalo, the Invalids' Hotel can
well be said to surpass any institution OF its
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 correspon-
dence by letter with patients who consult
them from all over the United States. Each
physician or surgeon is chosen for his skill
and proficiency in curing one class OF chronic
an experienced specialist who is thoroughly
familiar with the case. "A material aid to the
medical treatment are the machines for giving
mechanical movements" or massage, cleo
which the Hotel is thoroughly equipped.
Large and airy rooms, parlors, reading rooms,
elevator, and many other convenlences make
this
A PLEASANT dOME,
and far different from the private hospitals as
commonly known. The Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association, Of which DR.. Pierce is
President, is the owner Of the 1nvalids' Hotel
and the large laboratory, 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 man
ufacturing DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription,
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, DR.. Pierce's Extract Of Smart-Weed,
or Water Pepper. These are proprietary rem
edies which have been sold for over quarter
of 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 AS
sociation can be gained by what is said OF 1t by
the postofice authorities at Washington, D.
c., who report that this one firm spends an
aually for stamps more than all the banks and
newspapers Of Buffalo combined, or over S1OO,-
OOO. The mail matter amounts to from $1,000
to 1000 pieces daily. The first story OF the
Worlds Dispensary building is occupied by
the shipping department.; the second floor Is
devoted to the large newspaper advertising de-
partment and the mailing; third floor, print
ing room and bindery; fourth floor, drug mills
and paper warerooms; fifth floor, bottiing
wrapping and packing department.; on lie
sixth floor is one OF
THE BEsT-PLANNED LABORATORIES
in the country, il charge Of thoroughly.
scientific chemist, formerly Of the Harvard
medical school laboratory. IN fact, the equip
ment, the machinery and the system with
which these large Institutions are equipped,
and the marvellous manner in which eyery-
thing works along as though by clockworli,
would well repay visit to Buffalo.
