and in the diagnosis OF tuberculosis OF
the lungs this agent has proven a most
valuable aid. When applied To some OF

curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the

Those who have been patients at DR..

In erecting the lnyalids Hotel, DR.. r.
v. Pierce's idea was to make IL n genuine
nome. not n hospital. Such cases as rup-
ture, hydrDcelc and varicoccle are usually
cured In ten days, aud the patient Is able
TO return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates at the lnvalids' Hotel com
paratively low, In the examination anG

he Faculty, although educated to prac.
leo in all departing uis OF medicine and
urgery, is here assigned 10 a special de-
iartment only. TO which he devotes his
'ntirc time. study and attention. Not
)nly Is superior skill thus attained, but
ilso rapidly and accuracy IN the dlogno-

Specialists connected with this Insti.
tute at Buffalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
'xamlning their patients This method

scarcely a city or village in the United
