The InvaIids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
of Buffalo, n. Y.
From the Boston Herald.
What can be accomplished by judi
cious 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 DIR. Ray V. Pierce, who established
the Institution many years ago, and
is to-day it's managing director and
president A beautiful fye-story build.
ing situated on Main Street, the prin
cipal business street of Buffalo. the In
valids' Hotel can we'll be said to sur.
pass 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 build
ing, and to correspondence by letter
with patients who consult them from
all over the United States. Each ply
sician or surgeon is chosen for his skill
and proficiency in curing one class OF
for his physician an experienced spec
ialist who is thoroughly familiar with
the case. A material aid to the medi-
cal treatment are the machines for Civ
ing mechanical movements" or mas
sage, electrical apparatus, Turkish
baths, ETC., with which the Hotel is
thoroughly equipped. Large and airy
rooms, parlors, reading rooms, elevator,
and many other conveniences make
this
A PLEASANT MEDICAL HOME,
and far different from the private hos
pitals as commonly known. The
Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
tion, of which Dr. Pierce is President,
is the owner of the Invalid's Hotel and
the large laboratory, called the World S
Dispensary, as we'll. Standing on the
same lot, which runs through to the
next street back is the huge labora-
tory, six stories in height, which fur
nishes ample room for manufacturing
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, Dr. Pierce's Extract
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 Car
loads of these medicines are shipped
every day from Buffalo to points East,
West and South. An idea of the ex-
tensiye business carried on by. this AS
sociation can be gained by what is
said of it by the postoffice authorities
at Washington, d. D., 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 $4,000 to 40, 900 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 ad-
yertising depart tment and the mailing;
third floor, printing room and bindery:
fourth floor, drug mills and paper
warerooms; fifth floor, bottling, wrap
ping and packing department.; on the
sixth floor is one of
THE BEsT-PLANNED LABORATORIES
in the country, in charge of thor
oughly-scientifi chemist, formerly of
the Harvard medical school laboratory.
In fact, the equipment, the machinery
and the system with which these large
Institutions are equipped, and the mar
velous manner in which every ything
works along as though by clockwork,
would well repay visit to Buffalo
