Endless Chain
of Sickness.

There are upwards Of one million deaths
each year in The United States. In 500
OF cases the people who die are less than
sixty-iiye years old. The evils that are
due 20 disease can be escaped Just in pro
portion as the conditions and habits that
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too a chronic disease which may
battle the skill Of the general practitioner
may yet b. permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line of dis
ease speciality.
Ii would be Just as absurd for the Pro-
fesSor in medical college presuming 10
lecture on al subjects a for the one Ply
stefan TO presume To understand the nat

That is why DIR. k.N. Pierce established
the Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with a full staff Of Ply
sicianS and Surgeons-who though edu-
Gated 10 practice in all departments Of
medicine are here assigned TO a special
department only-to which each special
list devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at nr.

apparatus are used for the cure of chronic
diseases. The treatment of chronic dis

many years been factor in the cures
affected at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur

The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
full in the country, men who have made
these diseases their life study, and whose
highest ambition is to excel in their
treatment.
How well they have succeeded may he
judged from the fact that their practice
embraces cases from every State and Ter
ritOry of the Union as well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. Plerce's Institution. Ii is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
feet and the skilled specialists In this
field of practice cure thousands Of cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
