New Rays G. Light

One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the y ray which may be
used both in the treatment Of various dis
eases and In the diagnosis Of many OBJ
scure conditions With its aid the in
terror Of the human body is no longer the
sealed book 1t has been heretofore. Abb
normal states OF the bones, gall stones,
stone In the bladder or in the kidneys, arc
shown plainly by what are known as y
ray photographs. Internal tumors, and
The enlargement OF the deep-seated Or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis Of
the lungs this agent has proven most
valuable aid. When applied TO some OF
the less fatal chronic ailments OF germ
origin it has proven very effective as
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with a specially prepared
carbon upon any portion of the body that
may be the seat OF pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatlca, rheumatism, strains,
sprains. also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains THE origin OF which cannot at
times be accurately determined) frequent
ly find immediate relief from single
treatment and usually with little per-
sistence in the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery Is obtained.
The lncandescent light bath, consisting
OF cabinet in which the patient Is
bathed in the combined rays of many
electric light globes. has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes, sciatica,
rheumatism, obesity, anamia, and some
forms Of kidney and heart trouble. 1t
has also proven valuable in chronic brOn-
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. As general hygienc measure
its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti-
mated.
Those who have been patients at Dr.
Pierce's Invalids Hotel, in Buffalo. n Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Santarium, where the above mem
toned electric machines, high frequency
current, and other most modern and up
tO-date apparatus are used for the cure
0f chronic diseases. The treatment Of
,he chronic diseases that are peculiar TO
women have for many years, been large
flct0r In the cures affected at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the Inyalids' Hotel, Dr. r.
Y. Pierce'S idea was to make IL q genuine
home, not q hospital. Such cases as rup-
ture, hydrocele and varicocele are usually
cured In ten days, and the patient is able
to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates at the Invalids' Hotel COM
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment Of patients the practice Is
divided into specialties. Each member OF
the Faculty, although educated to prac-
tice in all departments OF medicine and
surgery. Is here assigned to a special de-
partment only, to which he deyOtes his
entire time, study and attention. Not
only is superior skill thus attained, but
also rapidity and accuracy in the diagpo-
sis Of disease.
Specialists connected with this Insti-
tute at Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature OF many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This method
of treating patients a distance, by mail,
has been so successful that there Is
scarcely city or village In the United
States that is not represented by one or
more cases upon the records Of practice
at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
sttute Such rare cases as cannot be
treated in this way, which require surgl-
cal operations or careful atter-trea tment,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the ser
vices Of the most skil!ful specialists at
the Institution. -----0EEhAnza1ns-
In medicine there has been rapid pro-
gresS during recent years, DR.. Pierce has
kept up with the times by continually inn
proving his laboratO tory by skilled chemists,
and exercising care that the ingredients
entering into his wellknOwn medicines
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as well
dS Jne UOiuen NeulCdl discovery are eA-
tracted from the best variety of native
medicinal roots. These are gathered with
great care and at the proper season of the
year, so that their medicinal properties
may be most reliable. -
These extracts are then made soluble
in pure triple refined glycerine and bottled
in hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds DispenSary as established by
DIR. Pierce is supplied with every known
apparatus and means of cure, for its aim
IS TO avoid surgical operations whenever
possible.
Great care Is exercised not to over en-
courage those who consult the specialists
Of this institution that no false hopes
may be raised
Many thousands are annually treated
both through correspondence and at this
Institute. Every one consulting by letter
or in person receives the most careful and
cOnslderate attention. All communica-
tiOns are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever IS made for con-
SultatiOn.
