An Endless Chain
of Sickness

There are upwards OF one million dentl
each year in the United States. In 9VG
OF cases the people who die are less thai
sixty five years old. The evils that Az
due TO disease can be escaped Just In Pre-
portion as the conditions and habits thu
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too a chronic disease which MAY
oailie the skill OF the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by th,
Physician who has made one line OF dis
ease a speciality.
1t would be Just as absurd for the Pro
fessor in medical college presuming {,
lecture on all subjects as for the one Ply.
sician 10 presume TO understand the nat
ure and cure OF every disease.
That is why DIR. R.N. Pierce established
the lnvalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-wth full staff Of Ply
sicians and Surgeons-who though edu
Gated TO practice in all departments OF
medicine are hore assigned 10 a special
department only-to which each special
ist deyotes his entiro time, study and
attention
The sick who have been treated at DR.
Pierce's lnvalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. ".
have much to say In regard 10 this won
derfully equipped Sanitarium, where ali
electrical apparatus, as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static cleo
tric machines, high frequency current,
and other most modern and up-to-date
apparatus arc used for the cure OF chronic
diseases. The treatment of chronic dis
eases that are peculiar to women have for
many years been o factor in the cures
affected at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
glcal Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among tlic most experienced and skill
ful In the country, men WHO have made
these diseases their life study, and whose
highest ambition Is to excel in their
treatment.
How wcll they have succeeded may be
Judged from the fact that their practice
embraces cases from every State and Tor
r!tory of the Union as well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. plerce's Institution. IL Is an
old adnge that, Experience makes per
feet" and the skilled specialists In this
lield of practice cure thousands Of cases
which have been abandoned as incurablc
by general practitioners.
One OF the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is tho N-ray used at the lnsti-
tute which may be used 10th In tho treat
ment OF various diseases and In the dag.
nosis OF many obscure conditions. With
Its aid the interior oi tho human body f.
no longer the sealed book 10 has been here
tofore. Abnormal states of the bones,
gall stones, stone In the blad .cr or In tho
kidneys, are shown plainly by what arc
known as N-ray photographs. Internal
tumors, and the enlargement Of the deep
seated organs. 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 a
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with n specially prepared
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 ttbe origin of which cannot at
times be accurately deter mined) frequent
~ find immediate relief from a single
treatment and usually with n little per
sistence in the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery Is obtained.
The incandescent Hight bath, consisting
Of cabinet in which the patient Is
bathed in the com blned rays Of many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results In Diabetes, scintica.
rheumatism, obesity. anmmia. and some
forms OF kidney and heart trouble. 1t
has also proven valuable in chronic bron-
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. As u general hypicnic measure
It's efficiency can scarcely be oyer-estl-
mated.
Hundreds are brought TO this Instltu-
tlon from far distant states and they 60
home In few weeks well and strong.
Quite as marvellous are the thousands OF

| espondencc. while the patient remains

vided with especially prepared medicines
