used both in the treatment of various dis
eases and in the diagnosis OF many OBJ
scure conditions. With its aid the in

normal states of the bones, gall stones,
stone in the bladder or in the kidneys, are
shown plainly by what are known as "
ray photographs. Internal tumorS, and
the enlargement of the deep-Seated or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis of
the lungs this agent has proven a most
valuable aid. When applied TO some of
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin it has proven very effective as 4
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from

carbon upon any portion of the body that

Those who have been patients at DR..
Pierce's lnvalidS' Hotel, in Buffalo, N Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Sanitarium, where the above mem
toned electric machines, high frequency
current, 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 the cures affected at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the 1nvalidS' Hotel, DR.. r.
V. Pierce'S idea was TO make ii a genuine
home, not hospital. Such cases as rup-
ture, hydrocele and varicocele are usually
cured in ten days, and the patient is able
to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates at the Invalids' Hotel COM
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment of patients the practice Is
divided into SpecialtieS. Each member of
the Faculty, although educated TO prac-
tice in all departments of medicine and
surgery. is here assigned to a special de-
partment only, to which he devotes his
entire time, study and attention. Not
only is superior skill thus attained, but
also rapidity and accuracy in the diagno-
sis of disease.
Specialists connected with this Insti-
tute at Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature Of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This method
of treating patients at a distance. by mail
has been so successful that there /,
scarcely city or village in the United
States that is not represented by one .Ol
more cases upon the records OF practice
at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
Stitute. Such rare cases as cannot bt
treated in this way, which require surgi.
cal operations or careful after-treatment
or electrical therapeutics, receive the ser
vices OF the most skillful specialists al
the Institution.
In medicine there has been rapid pro.
greSs during recent years, DR.. Pierce has
Kept up with the times by continually i'm.
proving his laboratory by skilled chemists
and exercising care that the ingredients
entering into his well-known medicines
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as vel
as the Golden Medical Discovery are ex
tracted from the best variety Of native
medicinal roots. These are gathered with
great care and at the proper season of the
year. so that their medicinal properties
may be most reliable.
These extracts are then made soluble
In pure triple refined glycerine and bottled
in hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dispensary as established by
DR.. Pierce is supplied with every known
apparatus and means Of cure, for its aim
is to avoid surgical operations whenever
possible.
Great care Is exercised not to over en-
courage those who consult the specialists
Of this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
Many thousands are annually treated
both through correspondence and at this
Institute. Every one consulting by letter
or in person receives the most careful and
considerate attention. All communica-
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever is made for con-
sultation.
