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 unmistakallc signs or symp-
toms. By reason Of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DIR
Plerce's 1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute ut Buffalo, are enabled to accu-
rately determine the nature of many
chronic diseases without seeing and per
sonally examining their patients. In rec
ognizlng disease without personal exam
lnation 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
nish abundant data to guide the judg
ment of the skillful practitioner. This
method OF treating PATIENTS at distance,

leagues, and it is just us absurcd to sup
keep himself informed OF the many new
methods of treatment that are being con
stanty devised and adopted in the several
