An Endless Chain
of Sickness

There are upwards Of one million deaths
each year in the United States. In 99N
ot cases the people wh9 @ dle are, are iess than
due 70 disease can be escaped just In pro
portion as the conditions and habits that
bring on disease become moro widely
Understood.
bafiie the skill OF the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line of dis
ease specially.
1t would be Just as absurd for the Pro
fessor in o medical college presuming to
lecture on ali subjects as for the one Ply
sician TO presume to understand the nat
ure and cure Of every disease.
That is why DIR. X. ". Pierce established
the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute
sicians and Surgeons-who though edn..
Gated to practice in ali departments OF
medicine are here assigned 10 a special
department only-to which each special
ist devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at DR..
Plerce's Invalids' Hotel Buffalo. N. Y,
have much to say In regard to this won
derfully equipped Sanltarinm, where all
electrical apparatus, as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static cleo
trio machines, high frequency current,
and other most modern and up-tO-datc
apparatus are used for the cure OF chronic
diseases. The treatment of chronic dis
eases that are peculiar TO women have for
many years been u factor in the cures
affected at the lnyalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute.
Tho physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
fnl In the country, men who have made
these diseases their life study, and whose
highest ambition Is to excel in their
treatment.
How well they have succeeded may be
Judged from the fact that their practice
embraces cases from every State and Ter
ritOry OF the Union as well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. Pierce's Institution. 1t is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
feet" and the skilled specialists in this
field OF practice euro thousands OF cases
which have been abandoned US incurabic
by general practitioners.
One OF the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the X-ray used at the Jnsti
tute which may be used both in the treat
ment OF various diseases and In the dag
nosis Of many obscure conditions, With
its aid the interior OF the human body Is
no longer the sealed book IL has been here
tofore. Abnormal states of the bones,
gall stones, stone In the bladder or In the
kidneys, are shown plainly by what are
known as Xray photographs. Internal
seated organs, 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 1t has proven very effective as n
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
vi0let-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with n specially prepared

may be the seat Of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains,
spralns, also from those obscure exhaust
Ing pains (the origin OF which cannot at
times be accurately deteImined) frequent
n find Immediate relief from a single
stetence In the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
Of cabinet In which the patient Is
bathed In the com bined rays OF many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results In diabetes, sciatica.
rheumatism, obesity, an9mia, 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 general hygicnic measure
its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti-
mated.
Hundreds are brought to this Institu-
tion from far distant states and they go
homo In q few weeks well and strong.
Quite as marvellous are the thousands OF
cures annually accomplished through cor
cspOndence, while the patient remains
quietly ut home. Others consult In per-
son, and after being examined are pro
vided with especially prepared medicines
and return home TO carry out the treat
ment.
Everyone who consults the specialists.
whether by letter or In person receives the
most careful and considerate attention.
Great care is exercised not to over en-
OF this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
Consultation by letter or in person Is
absolutely free--no charge whatever-so
that the public when afflicted are invited
to write DIR. Pierce at the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute. Huifalo. N. Y.
