So, also, in medical science. Disease
has certain unmstal.al H. signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with Dr.,
Pierce's Invallds' 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 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-cstablished
principles Of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected to scientific analysis they fur

methods OF treatment that are being con
