New Rays of Light

One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the X ray which may be
used both in the trea tmcnt Of various dis
eases and in the diagnosis of many oh
scurc conditions. With it, aid the in
terror of the human body is no longer the
sealed book it has been heretofore Alb
normal states of the bones, gall stones,
stone in the bladder or in the Kidneys are
shown plainly by what are known as n
ray photographs. Internal tumors. and
the enlargement of the dcep-seated Or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis of
the lungs this agent has proven most
valuable aid. When applied to some OF
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin it has proven very effective as
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding is the
violet-ray trea tment produced by cOncen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
carbon upon any portion OF the body that
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, Sciatica, rheumatism, strains,
Sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (thc origin Of which cannot at
times be accurately dctcrmincd) frcquent-
ly find immediate relief from a single
treatment and usually with little per-
sistencc in the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery is obtained
The incandcSccnt light bath consisting
of a cabinet i'm which the patient j.
bathcd i'm the mbincd rays of many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes. Sciatica,
rheumatism, obesity, anBmia, and some
forms Of kidney and heart trouble. 1t
has also proven valuable in chronic bron-
chitiS bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. As a genera! hygicnc measure
its efficiency can scarcely be oYer-esti-
mated.
Those who have been patients at Dr.

rnd Sanitarium. where the above mem

current. and other most modern and M
Jo-datc apparatus are used for the cure
Of chronic diseases. The treatment of
| the chronic diseases that arc peculiar to
women have for many wears been large
factor in the cures affected at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.

also rapidity and accuracy in the diagno-

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 distance, BY mail,
has been so successful that there is
scarcely n CITY or a village in the United
States that is not represented by one or
more cases upon the records of practice
at the [nvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated in this way, which REQUIRE surgi.
cal operations or careful after-treatment,
or electrical therapeutics. receive the SER
vices of the most skil!ful specialists at
the Institution.
