New Rays of Light

One OF the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the N-ruy which may be
used both in the treatment oil various dis
eases and In the diagnosis Of many OBJ
scurc conditions. With its aid the In

shown plainly by what are known as n
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 conccn-
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

Those who have been patients at Dr..

highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Sanitarium. whore the above mem
toned electric machines. high frequency
current, and other most modern and up,
to-date apparatus are used for the cure
Of chronic diseases. The treatment Of
he chronic diseases that are peculiar to
women have for many years been d large
actor in the cures affected at the In
Aids Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the Invalids Hotel. DR.. r.
V. P!erce's idea was to make N a genuine
lome, not a hospital. Such cases us rup-
ture hydrocclc and yaricocele are usually
cured In ten days. and the patient Is able
to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates at the lnvallds' Hotel COM
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment OF patients the practice Is
1ivided into specialties. Each member Of
the Faculty, although educated to prac-
tice In all departments of medicine and
nrgery. 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 rapidly and accuracy In the dlagno-
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

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
1T the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated IN this way. which require surgl-
cal operations or careful after-treatment,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices OF the most skillful specialists at
the Institution.
In medicine there has been rapid pro-

kept up with the times by continually Inn

tracted from the best variety OF native
