The eOpen Door
SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.


BY the electromagnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate fracture I'M
q 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 II the rocky formation was before him
on the table.
So, also, in medical science. Disease
has certain unmistakailu signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute at Buffalo, are enabled to accu-
rately determine the nature OF many
chronic diseases without seeing and per
sonally examining their patients. In rec
ognlzing disease without personal exam
ination of the patient, they do not claim
to possess miraculous powers. They OBJ
tain their knowledge of the patients dis
ease by practical and well-established
principles of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected to scientific analysis they fur
nlsh abundant data to guide the judg
ment of the sltlllful practitioner. This
method Of treating pa atients at n distance,
by mail, has been so successful that there
Is scarcely city or n Village in the
United States that is not represented by
one or more eases upon the records OF
practice at the lnvalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Such rare cases as cam
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.
DIR. X. V. Pierce long ago established
this Invallds' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute with n full staff of Physicians who
were expert in their specialties, These
physicians may be consulted, by letter,
free and without charge whatever, If you
wish specialists advice upon any
chronic malady. The same system OF
"specialites" is observed az 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 ridicuod by his col
leagues, and ii is just as absured to sup
pose that tho general practitioner car
keep himself informed of the many new
methods of treatment that are being con
stantly devised and adopted in the severai
departments of Medicine and Surgery.
People who have been patients at Dir
Pierce's Invalds' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y.
have much TO say in regard TO this won
derfuly equipped Sanitariuin, where al
the latest electrical apparatus. as well n
electric water baths, Turkish baths, stat,
electric machines, high-frequency Cur
rent, and other most modern and up-tO
date apparatus are used for the cure @!
chronic diseases. The treatment OF thC
chronic diseases that are peculiar tC
women have for many years been II largC
factor in the cures effected at the Inva
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute.
The violotray treatment, which L
another interesting proeeeding, is carried
out by concentrating the light. rich in
the violet or chemical rays, from an are
| 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
(the origin OF which cannot at times be
accurately determined) 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 incandcscent light
bath. consisting of n cabinet in which the
| patient is bathed in the combined rays
| of many electric lights. IL 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 general
hygienic measure its efficiency can scarce
| ly be ovcr-estimated.
| In medicine there has been rapid and
| real progress during recent years, and DIR.
Pierce has kept up with the times in that
he has had the manufacture and ingredi.
ents in his well-known remedies improved
in a 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 Fa-
vorite Prescription as well as the Golden
| Medical Discovery" are extracted from
the stvariety 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-.
courage those who consult the specialists
of this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
