SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.

By the electro magnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate fracture in
a submarine cable nearly 1900 miles long.
A few fossils sent to an expert geologist
enable him to accurately determine the
rock formation from which they are
taken. This he can describe as perfectly
as II the rocky formation was before him
on the table.
So, also, in medical science. Disease
has certain unmistakablu signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with Dr.
Pierce's lnyalids' 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
nation 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 judg
ment of the skillful practitioner. This
method OF treating patients at distance,
by mail, has been so successful that there
Is scarcely city or village in the
United States that is not represented by
practice at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gcal Institute. Such rare cases as can
not be treated in this way, which require
surgical operatio or careful after-treat-
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
the services of the most skflful specialists
at the Institution.

"specialites is observed as in the depart
ments OF q medical college. The professor
who would assume to lecture In all depart
ments with equal ease and proficiency
would be severely ridiculed by his col
leagues, and 1t is Just as absured to sup
pose that the general practitioner can
keep himself Informed OF the many new
methods of treatm that are being CON
stantly devised and adopted in the several
departments of Medicine and Surgery.
