New Rays of Light


One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the X-ray which may be
used both in the treatment of various dis
eases and in the diagnosis OF many OBJ
scuro conditions. With Its aid the In
terror OF the human body is no longer the
sealed book it has been heretofore. Alb
normal states of the bones, gall stones.
stone IN the bladder or in the kidneys. are
shown plainly by what are known as n
ray photographs. Internal tumors. arc
the enlargement of the decp-seated or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis OF
the lungs this agent has proven Il mosi
valuable aid. When applied to some OF
| the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
| origin 1t has proven very effective as
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
| trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with ii specially prepared
carbon upon any portion OF the body that
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatca, rhcuma tism, strains.
| sprains. also from those obscure exhaust
| ing pains (the origin of which cannot at
times be accurately dctcrmlned) frequent
| ly find Immediate relief from a single
| treatment and usually with Il little per
sistence in the use OF this aid. comfortable
| health or perfect recovery Is obtained.
| The incandcscent Tight bath, consisting
Of cabinet in which the patient is
bathed in the combined rays OF many
| electric light globes has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes, sciatica,
rheumatism. obesity, annmia. and some
| forms OF kidney and heart trouble. 1t
| has also proven valuable in chronic bron-
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases: As n general hygicnic measure
It's efficiency can scarcely be over-esti-
mated.
Those who have been patients at DIR.
| Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. IN Buffalo, n. Y,
highly commend this wonderfully equip
| ped Sanitarium, where the above men.
toned electric machincs, high frequency
current, and other most modern and up
to-date apparatus are used for the cure
Of chronic diseases. The treatment OF
he chronic diseases that are peculiar to
women have lnr many years been u large
factor in the cures affected at the In
yalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
| In erecting the lnvalids' Hotel. DIR. R.
| V. Pierce's idea was to make 1t a genuine
home, not u hospital. Sucl. eases as rup
ture hydroccle and vnricocele are usually
cured in ten days. nnd the patient is able
| to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates ut the lnvalds' Hotel com
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment of patients the practice Is
divided into spccialtics. Each member of
| the Faculty. although educated 10 prac-
l
surgery, Is here assigned to a special de-
partment only. to which he devotes his
entire time, study and attention. Not
only is superior skill thus attained, but
also rapidity 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 aid personally
cyaminiins their patients; This nethod

has been so successful that there is
scarcely n city or II village in the United
States that Is not represented by one or
| more cases upon the records of practice
at the lDvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated IN this way. which require surgi-
cal operations or careful after-treatment,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices of tho 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 laborat tory by skilled chemists,
| and exercising care that the ingredients
| entering into his well-known medicines
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as well
as the Htiolden Medical Discovery are ex-
tractcd from the best variety OF native
| medicinal roots. These are gathered with
| great care and at the proper season of the
| year. 80 that their medicinal properties
may Dc most reliable.
These extracts are then made soluble
| in pure triple refined glyccrine and bottled
| in hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dlspensary as established by
DIR. Pierce is supplied with every known
apparatus and means of cure. for its aim
is TO avoid surgical operations whenever
possible.

courage those who consult the specialists
