SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.

BY the electro magnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate fracture in
a submarine cable nearly 5000 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 if the rocky formation was before him
on the table.
So, also, in medical science. Disease
has certain unmiStakable signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DR..
sttute at Buffalo, are enabled to accu-
ratey determine the nature of many
chronic diseases without seeing and per-
sonaly examining their patients. In rec
ognizng disease without a personal exam
inaton of the patient, they Go not claim
to possess miraculous powers. They OBJ
tain their knowledge of the patients dis
ease by practical and wcll-c>tahlished
principles of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected to scientific ana ysis they fur
nish abundant data to guide the jndg-
ment of the skilful practitioner This
method OF treating patirnts at distance,
by mail. has been SO successful that there
Is scarcely a city or village in the
United States that is not represented by
one or more cases upon the records OF
practice at the lnvalds' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Such rare cases as can
not be treated in this way, which require
surgical operations or careful after-treat-
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
the services of the most skillful specialists
at the Institution.
Dr.. R. Y, Pierce long ago established
this Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute with Il full Staff of Physicians who
physicians may be consulted, by letter,
free and without charge whatever. if you
wish a specialists advice upon any
chronic malady. The same system of
'SpecaliteS is observed as in the depart
ments of a medical col cgc. The professor
ments with equal ease and proficiency
would be severely ridiculed by his col
leagues, and it is just as abSured to sup
pose that the genera practitioner can
keep himself informed of the many new
methods of treatment that are being con-
departments of Medicine and Surgery.
People who have been patients at DIR.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo. N. Y,
have much to say in regard to this Won
derfully equipped Sanitarium, where all
the latest electrical apparatus. as well as
electric machines high-frequency cur
rent, and other most modern and up-tO-
date apparatus are used for the cure of
chronic diseases. The treatment of the
chronic diseases that are peculiar to
women have for many years been large
factor in tho cures effected at the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute.
The violet-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
a -
also from those obscure eXhausting pains
(the origin of which cannot at times be
accurately determincd) frequently find
immediate relief from single treatment
and usually with little persistence in
the use of this aid, comfortable health or
perfect recovery is obtained.
Then, there is the incandescent light
bath, consisting of cal inet in which the
patient is bathed in the combined rays
Of many electric lights. 1t has pro-
duced really wonderful results in diabetes,
sciatica. rheumatism, obesity, anamia,
trouble. 1t has also proven valuable in
chronic bronchitis. bronchial asthma and
the various skin diseases. AS a general
hygienic measure its efficiency can scarce
ly be Over-eStimated.
In medicine, there has been rapid and
real progress during recent years. and DR..
Pierce has kept up with the times in that
he has had the manufacture and ingredi-
entS in his well known remedies improved
in modern laboratory by skilled chem
lists. the greatest care being exercised to
see that the ingredients entering into his
well-known medicines DIR. Pierce's Fs-
vorite Prescription as well as the rGolden
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 medici-
nal properties may be most reliable.
Great care Is exercised not to over en-
those who consult the specialists
of this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
