An Endless Chain
of Sickness.

There are upwards OF one million deaths
each year in the United States. In 500
OF cases the people who die are less than
sixty-iive years old. The evils that are
due to disease can be escaped Just In pro-
portion as the conditions and habits that
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too chronic disease which may
battle the skill Of the general practitioner
may yet be- permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line Of dis
ease a speciality.
1t would be Just as absurd for the Pro
fesSor in q medical college presuming to
lecture on all subjects as for the one Ply
sician TO presume 10 understand the nat
ure and cure OF every disease.
That is why DIR. R.N. Pierce established
the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with full staff OF Ply
sicians and SurgeonS-wh though edu-
Gated to practice in all departments of
medicine are here assigned To a special
department Only--tO which each special
ist devotes his entire time, study and
! attention.
The sick who have been treated at DIR.
! Plerce's lnvalidS' Hotel. Buffalo. n. V,
! have much to say in regard to this won
derfully equipped Sanltarium, where all
| electrical apparatus, AS well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static cleo
/ trio machines. high h-irequcncy current.
| and other most modern and up-to date
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 a factor in the cures
/ affected at the lnvalids' Hotel and Sur
( gical Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
| full 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
! Titory OF the Union as well as from foreign
! lands Many thousands are annually
treated. either Though correspondence
or at DIR. Picrce's Institution. II Is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
ect.n and the skilled specialists in this
! field of practice cure thousands of cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
/ by general practitioners.
One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the .\-ray used at the lnSti-
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 Il
1 no longer the sealed book IL has been here
tOfore. Abnormal states Of the bones,
gall stones, stone i'm the bladder or in the
kidneys, are shown plainly by what are
known as N-ray photographs. Internal
tumorS ana 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 most
valuable aid. When applied to some o
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin il has proven very effective as .
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding is tn,
violet-ray treatment produced by concen
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with specially prepared
carbon upon any portion OF the body tha
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia. sciatica, rheumatism, strains
sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (the origin of which cannot a
times be accurately determined frequent
" find immediate relief from singh
treatment and usually with little per
sistence in the use Of this aid. comfortabl
health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
of a cabinet in which the patient
bathed in the cont bned rays of man
electric light globes. has produced reall
wonderful results in diabetes. sciatica
rheumatism, obesity, angmia. and som
forms of kidney and heart trouble.
has also proven valuable IN chronic DrOl
| chitis. bronchial asthma and various ski
diseases. As u general hygenic measur
| its efficiency can scarcely be over.esti
mated.
| Hundreds are brought to this Institu
| tfon from far distant states and they e
home in few weeks well and strong
| Quite as marvellous are the thousands {
| cures annually accomplished through co
/ espondence. while the patient remain
quietly at home. Others consult in pei
son, and after being examined are PR

and return home to carry out the trea
ment.
