SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.

BY the electro magnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate fracture In
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 unmistakablo signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DIR.
Plerce's lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
sttute at Buffalo, are enabled to accu-
rately determine the nature of many
chronic diseases without seeing and per
sonally examining their patients. In rec
ognizlng disease without personal exam
inaton Of the patient, they do not claim
to possess miraculous powers. They OBJ
tain their knowledge Of the patients dis
ease by practical and wcll-established
principles OF modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected to scientific analysis they fur
nish abundant data to guide the judg-
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
one or more cases upon the records of
practice at the 1nvalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Such rare cases as can
not be treated in this way, which require
surgical operations or careful aftcr-treat
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
the services OF the most skillful specialists
at the Institution.
DR.. r. V. Pierce long ago established
this Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute with full staff of Physicians who
were expert in their specialties. These
physicians may be consulted by letter,
free and without charge whatever, if you

chronic malady. The same system of
"specialitcs is observed as in the depart
ments of a medical college. The professor
who would assume to lecture in all depart
ments with equal ease and proficiency
would be severely ridiculcd by his col
leagues and 1t is just as absurcd to sup
pose that the general practitioner can
keep himself informed OF the many new
methods of treatment that are being con-
stantly devised and adopted in the several
departments of Medicine and Surgery.
People who have been patients at DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y,
have much to say In regard to this Won
derfully equipped Sanltarium, where all
the latest electrical apparatus, as well as
electric water baths, Turkish baths, static
electric machines, high-frequency cur
rent, and other most modern and upto
date apparatus are used for the cure of
chronic diseases. Tho treatment OF the
chronic diseases that are peculiar to
women have for many years been large
factor in the cures effected Mt the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute.
The yiolet-ray treatment which is
another interesting proceeding, is carried
out by concentrating the light, rich in
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 neural
gla, sciatica, rheumatism, strains, sprains,
also from those obscure exhausting pains
tthe origin of which cannot at times be
accurately determined frequently find
immediate relief from Il single treatment
and usually with little persistence In
the use of this aid, comfortable health or
perfect recovery is obtained.
Then. there is the incandesccnt light
bath, consisting of a cabinet in which the
patient is bathed in the combined rays
OF many electric lights. 1t has pro-
duced really wonderful results in diabetes
and some forms of kidney and heart
trouble. 1t has also proven valuable in
chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and
the various skin diseases. As general
hygicnic measure its efficiency can scarce
ly be over-estima ted.
In medicine there has been rapid and
real progress during recent years. and DIR.
Pierce has kept up with the times In that
ne has had the manufacture and inRredi-
ents In his we'll known remedies improved
In a modern laboratory by skilled chem
lists, the greatest care being exercised to
sec that the ingredients entering into his
well-known medicines DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorte Prescription as well as the Golden
Medical Discovery are extracted from
the best variety OF native medicinal roots,
gathered with great care and at the proper
season Of the year. so that their medlci-
nal properties may be most reliable.
Great care Is exercised not to over en-
courage those who consult the specialists
OF this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
