New Rays Of Light

Those who have been patients at DR..
| Pierce's lnvalids' Hotel, in Buffalo, N. Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Sanitarium. where the above men
toned electric machines, high frequency
| current, and other most modern and up
| t)-date apparatus are used for the cure
of chronic diseases. The treatment of
the chronic diseases that are peculiar to
| women have Tor many years been large
| factor. in the cures affected at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the Invalids' Hotel, DIR. r.
| V. Picrce'S idea was to make it II genuine
home, not u hospital. Such cases as rnp-
! ture, hydroccle aud varicoccle are usually
cured in ten days, and the patient is able
to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates vt the Invalids' Hotel com
paratvcly low. In the examination and
treatment of patients the practice is
divided into spccialties. 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 dcyotcs his
entire time, study and attention. Not
only is superior skill thus attained. but
also rapidty and accuracy in the GiagnO-
sis Of disease.
| Specialists connected with this Insti-
tute at Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature of many chronic
diseases without seeing aud personally
examining their patients. This method
of treating patients at a distance. by mail,
has been so successful that there is
scarcely city or u village in the United
States that is not represented by one or
moro cases upon the records of practice
az the InValids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated in this way, which require surgi-
! cal operations or careful treatment,
or electrical Therapeutics. receive the SER
