Ihe physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
ful in the country, men who have made
these diseases their life study. and whose
highest ambition is to excel In their
treatment.
How well they have succeeded may be
Judged from tho fact that their practice
embraces cases from every State and Ter
ritory OF the Union as well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. Picrce's Institution. 1t Is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
feet" and the skilled specialists in this
Held OF practice cure thousands OF cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
One OF the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the X-ray used at the Insti-
tute which may be used both in the treat
ment OF various diseases and In the dag.
