New Rays of Light

One Of the most wonderful electrical
apDliances Is the X-ray which may bs
used both I'm the treatment Of various dIs-
eases and I'm the diagnosis Of many OBJ
srure conditions. With its aid the in

shown plainly by what are known as "
raw photographs. Internal tumors. and
the enlargement Of the deep-seated or
gans. are also discovered by this means
and in tho diagnosis Of tuberculosis Of
the lungs this agent has proven a most
valuable aid. When applied 10 some oa
the less fatal chronic ailments Of germ
origin it has proven very effective as
curative agent
Another interesting proceeding Is the
yiolet-ray treatment produced by cOnccu-
trating the violet or chemical rays from

carbon upon any portion Of the body that

The incandescent light bath, consisting
Of a cabinet in which the patient j.
blthed IN the combined rays Of many
electric light globes. has produced really
wonderful results In diabetes. sciatica.
rheumatism. obesity. anRmia. and some
forms Of kidney and heart trouble. IL
has also proven valuable In chronic brOn-
chitis. bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. As a general hygienic measure
is efficiency can scarcely be over-est!-
mated.
Those who have been patients al DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, in Buffalo, y. Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Sanitarium, where the above men
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 10
women have for many years been large
factor In the cures affected at the Ina
valds' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the Invalids' Hotel, Dr. r.
Y. Pierce's idea was 70 make II a genuine
home, not a 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
paratiYely low. In the examination ana
treatment Of patients the practice j.
divided into specialties. Each member OF
the Faculty, although educated 10 prac-
tice in all departments OF medicine and
surgery, Is here assigned 10 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 methQjT
OF treating patients at a distance, by ma
has been so successful that there
scarcely a city OF village in the Unit,
States that Is not represented by one or
more cases upon the records Of practice
at the Invalids' 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 skillful specialists at
the Institution.
In medicine there has been rapid pro-
gress during recent years, DIR. 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
DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription as well
as the UGolden 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 solubleN
in pure triple refined glycerine and bottled
in hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dispensary as established by
DIR. 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
considerable attention. All communion
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever is made for con-
sultatiOn.
