New Rays of Light


Ono Of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the \ N-ray which may be
used both In the treatment OF various dis
eases and In the diagnosis of n.any OBJ
scure conditions. With its aid the in
terror Of the human body IS no longer the
sealed book it has been heretofore. Ao-
norinal states of the bones, gall stones.
stone in the bladder or in the kidneys. arc
shown plainly by what are known as y
ray photographs. Internal tuHors. ard
the enlargement of the deep-seatcd or
gans, are also discovered by this means
and In the diagnosis OF Tuberculosis OF
the lungs this agent has proven a most
valuable aid. When applied To some of
the less fatal chronic ailments OF germ
origin 1t has proven very effective as a
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with specially prepared
carbon upon any portion OF the b0dS that
may be the seat Of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sclatica, rheumatism. strains

ing pains (thc origin of which cannot at
times be accurately determined frequent-

treatment and usually With a little per-
sstence in the ,se OF this aid. comfortable
health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandesceut light bath, consisting
OF n cabinet in which the patient is
bathed in the combined rays OF many
electric light globes. has produced really
wonderful results in dlnbetes, sciatica,
rheumatism. obesity, anemln, 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
Its efficiency can scarcely be oyer-esti-
mated,
Those who hnvc been patients at DIR.
Perce's lnvalids 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 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 affected ut the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
In erecting the Inynllds Hotel, DR.. r.
v. Pierces idea wis to make IL a genuine
home, not hospital. Such cases as rup-
ture, hydrocce aud yarcoeoe are usually
cnrcd In ten days, and the patient is able
to return home. The terms are moderate
and the rates at the lnsalldS' Hotel com.
paratively low. In the examination and
treatment OF patients the practice IS
divided into specialtics Each member of
the Faculty. although educated 30 prac-
tice In all departments of medicine and
surgery, Is here assigned 70 special de-
partmcnt only. to which he dcvotes his
entire time, study and attention. Not
only Il superior skill thus attained, but
also rapldity and accuracy In the diagno-
sis of disease.
Specialists connected with this Insti-
tute Mt Buifalo, are enabled to accurately
determine the nature Of many chronic
diseases without seeing and personally
examining their patients. This inethod
of treating patients Mt u distance, by mail,
has been so successful that there Is
scarcely a city or village In the United
States that IL not represented by one or
more cases upon the records Of practice
ut the IDvalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Such rare cases as cannot be
treated IN this way, which require surgl-
cal operations or careful aiter-trcatmcnt,
or electrical therapeutics, receive the SER
vices OF the most skillful 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 laboratory by skilled chemists,
and exercising care that the ingredients
entering into his wellknown medicines
DIR. Picrce's Favorlte Prescription as well
as the Golden Medical Discovery are ex-
tracted from the best variety OF native
medicinal roots. These are gathered with
great care and at the proper season OF tho
may be most reliable.
These extracts are then made soluble
In pure triple refined glycerlne and bottled
in a hygienlc and scientific manner. Thus
the Worlds Dispcnsary as established by
DIR. Pierce is supplied with every known
apparatus and means OF cure, for It's aim
Is to avoid surgical operations whenever
possible.
Great care is exercised not so over en-
courage those who consult the specialists
Of this institution that no false hopes
may he raised.
Many thousands arc annually treated
both through correspondence and at this
Institute. Every one consulting by letter
or In person receives the most careful and
considerate attention. All communica-
tions are treated Us strictly confidential.
No charge whatever is made for con-
sultation. :.
