SCIENTIFIC NEW DISCOVERIES.

By the electro magnetic telegraph an
operator can exactly locate a fracture in
submarine cable nearly 5000 miles long
A few fossils sent to an expert geologist
enable him to accurately determine the
rock formation from which they are
taken. This he can describe as perfectly
as II the rocky formation was before him
on the table.
So, also, in medical science. Disease
has certain unmistakallc signs or symp-
toms. By reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DR.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In-
stitute at Buffalo, are enabled to accu-
rately determine the nature OF many
chronic diseases without seeing and per
sonally examining their patients. In rec
ognizing disease without personal exam
ination OF the patient, they do not ella i'm
to possess miraculous powers. They OBJ
tain their knowledge OF the patients dis
ease by practical and well-estabished
principles of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected TO scientific analysis they fur
nish abundant data to guide the judg
ment of the skillful practitioner. This
method Of treating patients at a distance,
by mall, has been so successful that there
! Is scarcely city or a village in the
United States that is not represented by
one or more cases upon the records of
practice at the Invallds' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Such rare cases as can

surgical opera tions or careful after-treat-
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
the services of the most skillful specialists
at the Institution.
DR.. r. y, Pierce long ago established
this Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute with full staff of Physicians who
were expert In their specalties. These
physicians may be consulted, by letter,
free and without charge whatever, If you
wish specialists advice upon any
chronic malady.. The same system of
"specialltes is observed as In the depart
ments of a medical college. The professor
who would assume to lecture In all depart
ments with equal ease and proficiency
would be severely rldiculed by his col
leagues, and 1t is just. as.absured to sup
pose that the general practitioner can
keep himself informed OF the many new
| methods OF treatment that are being con
stantly devised and adopted in the several
departments Of Medicine and Surgery.
People who have been patients at DR.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
derfnlly equipped Sanitarinm, where all
the latest electrical apparatus. as well as
electric water baths, Turkish baths, static
electric machines, high-frequency cur
rent, 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 effected at the Inva.
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute.
The violet-ray trca atment which Is
another interesting proceeding, is carried
out by concentrating the light, rich In
the violet or chemical rays, from an are
light with specially prepared carbon,
upon any portion Of the body that may be
the seat OF pain. Sufferers from neural
gia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains. sprains,
also from those obscure exhausting pains
(the origin Of which cannot at times be
accurately detcrmined) frequently find
Immediate relief from single treatment
and usually witt, little persistence in
the use OF this aid, comfortable health or
perfect recovery is obtained.
Then, there is the incandescent light
bath, consisting of a abinet In which the
patient Is bathed In the combined rays
OF many electric lights. 1t has pro-
dnced really wonderful results In diabetes,
sciatica, rheumatism, obesity, anamia,
and some forms of kidney and heart
trouble. 1t has also proven valuable in
chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and
the various skin diseases. As a general
