health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandcsccnt light bath, consisting
of a cabinet in which the patient is
bathed in the COM ned rays of many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results In diabetes, sciatica,
rheumatism. obesity, anmmia. and some
forms of kidney and heart trouble. 1t

its efficiency can scarcely be over-csti-
mated.
Those who have been patients at DR..
Pierce's InvalidS' Hotel, in Buffalo, N. Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
ped Santtarium, where the above mem
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 to
women have for many years been large
factor in the cures affected at the In
vallds' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the 1nvalids' Hotel, DIR. R.
v. Perce's idea was to make 1t a genuine
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 Invalds' Hotel COM
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment of patients the practice Is
the Faculty, although educated to prac-
tice in all departments of medicine and
surgery, Is here assigned to special de-
partment only, to which he devotes his
entire time, study and attention Not
only Is superior skill thus attained, but
also rapidly 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 method
of treating patients at a distance, by mail,
has been so successful that there Is
scarcely city or village in the United
States that Is not represented by one or
at the Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated In this way, which require Surgi-
cal operations or careful after-treatm ent,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices of the most skil!ful 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 la bOratOry by skilled chemists,
and exercising care that the ingredients

as the rGolden 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 soluble
in pure triple refined glycerine and bottled
in hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dispensary as established by
Dr. 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 communica-
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever is made for con.
sultatiOn.
