SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.

By the electromagnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate a fracture in |
a submarine cable nearly 5000 miles long. |
A few fossils sent 10 an expert geologist |
enable him to accurately determine the |
rock formation from which they are |
taken. This he can describe as perfectly |
as If the rocky formation was before him
on the table.
So. also, in medical science. Disease /!
has certain unmiStakahle signs or symp- |
toms. BY reason Of this fact the phySi- |
clans and specialists connected with Or.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute at Buffalo, are enabled to accu- |
rately determine the nature OF many
chronic diseases without seeing and per
sonally examining their patients. In rec
ogniZing disease without a personal exam
ination Of the patient, they do not claim
to possess miraculous powers. They OBJ
tain their knowledge of the patients dis
ease by practical and well-established
principles Of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected TO scientific analysis they fur-
niSh abundant data to guide the ludg-
ment Of the skillful practitioner. This
method OF treating patients at distance,
by mail, has been so successful that there
Is scarcely city or a village IN the
United States that is not represented by
one or more cases upon the records OF
practice at the InvalidS' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Such rare cases as can
not be treated in this way, which require
surgical operations or careful after-treat-
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
the services OF the most sllltUl specialists
at the Institution.
