New Rays of Light

One Of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the \ ray which may bo
used both In the treatment OF various dis
eases and In the diagnosis OF many OBJ
scnre conditions. With Its aid the in

stone In the bladder or In the kidneys, ara
shown plainly by what are known as X
ray photographs. Internal tnmors, and

9ans, 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

curative agent.
| Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or Chemical rays from
an arc light with n specially prepared
carbon upon any portion Of the body that
may be the seat OF pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatIca, rheumatism, strains,

times be accurately determlned) frequent

| Pierce's InvalIds' Hotel, In Buffalo, N. Y,
| highly commend this wonderfully equip
| ped Sanitarium, where the above mem
| toned electric machines, high frequency
current, and other most modern and up
to-date apparatus are used for tho euro
of chronic diseases. The treatment Of
the chronic diseases that are peculiar TO
| women have for many years been largo
factor In the cures affected at the In.
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
| In erecting the lnvalids' Hotel, DR.. X.
| v. Pierce's idea was to make II genuine
home, not hospital. Such cases as rup-
| tIre hydrocele and varlcocele are usually
cured In ten days, and the patient is able
TO return home. The terms are moderate
| and the rates at the Inyalids' Hotel COM
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment of patients the practice Il
| divided into specialtles. Each member OF
the Faculty, although educated 10 prac-
| tice in all departments OF medicine and
| suTRtTf. HtFt dSHlBIltu 70 u sptfClui ut-
partment only, to which he deyotes his
| entire time, study and attention. Not
only IL superior skill thus attained, but
also rapidity and accuracy In the diagn0-
sis OF disease.
| Specialists connected with this InstI-
tute ut Buffalo, are enabled 10 accurately
determine the nature Of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This method
OF treating patients at u distance, by mail
has been so successful that there is
| scarcely n city or village In the United
States that Is not represented by one or
more cases upon the records Of practice
at the Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. such rare cases as cannot DO
treated in this way, which require surgi-
cal operations or careful after-treatm tment,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices OF the most sklllful specialists 1t
the Institution.
In medicine there has been rapid pro-
gress during recent years, DR.. Pierce has
, kept up with the times by continually Inn
proving his laboratory by skilled chemists,
and exercising care that the ingredients
, entering into his well-known medicines
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as well
as the Golden Medical Discovery" are ex-
, , traeted from the best variety Of nativo
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
Ia pure triple refined Rlycerine and bottled
in a hygienic and scientific manner. Thus
, the Worlds Dispensary as established by
: DIR. Pierce Is supplied with every known
apparatus and means OF cure, for Its aim
{ Is TO avoid surgical operations whensvez
. possible.
Great care is exercised not 10 over on
, courage those who consult the specialists
/, OF this Institution that no fatss hopsa
