An Endless Chain
of Sickness

There are upwards Of one million death
zach year in the United States. In 800
OF cases the people who die are less THAI
sixty-iive years old. The evils that are
due to disease can be escaped Just In pro
portion as the conditions and habits thai
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too chronic disease which may
oafile the skill of the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line OF dis
ease speciality.
1t would be Just as absurd for the Pro.
fessor in u medical college presuming to
lecture on all subjects as for the one Ply
sician to presume to understand the nat
ure and cure of every disease.
That is why DIR. R.V. Pierce established
the Invalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with fun staff of Ply
sicians and Surgeons-who though edu-
Gated to practice in all departments OF

electrical apparatus, as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static elec-
tric machines, high-frequency current,
and other most modern and np-to-date
apparatus are used for the cure of chronic
diseases. The trcatme of chronic dis
eases that are peculiar to women have for
many years been a factor in the cures
affected at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
iul 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 eases from every State and Ter
ritory OF the Union as well us from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. P,erce's Institution. 1t is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
fect,- 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 Nray used at the Insti-
tute which may be used both in the treat
