New Rays of Light

One of the most wonderful electTcaI
appliances is the X 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 it has been heretofore. Alb
normal states of the bones, gall stones,
stone in the bladder or in the kidneys, arc
shown plainly by what are known as X
| ray photographs. Internal tumors, ard
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 a most
valuable aid. When applied to some of
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin 1t 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 specially prepared
| carbon upon any portion of the body that
may be the seat OF pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains,
| sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (the origin of which cannot Mt
times be accurately determned) frequent
| ly find Immediate relief from Single
treatment and usually with a little per
sistence in the use of this aid, comfortab BILE
| health or perfect recovery isobtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
| )f cabinet in which the patient Is
oathed In the combined rays of many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes, sciatica,
| rheumatism, obesity, anama. and some
orms of kidney and heart trouble. 1t
has also proven valuable in chronic bron-
ehitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
\ diseases: As a general hygienic measure
| its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti-
| mated.
Those who have been patients at DIR,
| plerce's lnvalids' Hotel, in buffalo, N Y,
| highly commend this wonderfully equip

TONED electric machines, high frequency
current, and other most modern and up
to-date apparatus are used for the cure
| u chronic diseases: The treatment OF
| 10 chronic diseases that are peculiar to
omen have for many years been large
actor in tho cures affected at the In
Aids Hotel and Surgical Institute
In erecting the lnvaids' Hotel, Dr. r.
v. Pferce's idea was to make IL a genuine
home, not n hospital. Such cases as rup-
ture, hydrocelc and varicocnle are usually
cured in ten days, and the patient is able
| to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates Mt the Invalids' Hotel com.
paratively low. In the examination and
| treatment of patients the practice IS
| iivided into specialties. Each member Of
| the Faculty, although educated 10 prac-
| lice In all departments of medicine and
inrgery, Is here assigned to a special de-
partment only, TO which he devotes his
3ntlre time, study and attention. Not
| lnly is superior skill thus attained, but
ilso rapidly and accuracy In the dlagno-
| sis of disease.
Specialists connected with this Insti-
tute ut Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This method

has been so successful that there Is
scarcely u city or village In the United
states that is not represented by one or
more cases upon the records of practice
At the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
>titute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated IN this way, which require surgi-
cal operations or careful after-treatment
Or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices OF the most skillful specialists at
the Institution.

'ress during recent years, DR.. Pierce has
sepf up with the times by continually inn
proving his laboratory by skilled chemists,
md exercising. care that the ingredients

Or. Pierce's Favorte Prescription as well
Is the NGolden Medical Discovery are ex-
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
These extracts are then made soluble
In pure triple refined glycerine and bottled
In hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dispcnsary as established by
