An Endless Chain
of Sickness

There are upwards OF one million death
each year in the United States. In go
of cases the people who die are less than
sixty five years old. The evils that are
due 10 disease can be escaped just In pro
portion as the conditions and habits that
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too n chronic disease which may
oaille the skill of the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line OF dis
ease a specially.
1t would be Just as absurd for the Pro
lessor in 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 lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with full staff of Ply
sicians and Surgeons-who though edu-
Gated to practice In all departments of
medicine are here assigned to special
department only-to which each special
ist devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel Buffalo. n. Y,
have much to say In regard to this won
derfully equipped Sanitarium, where all
electrical apparatus, as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static cleo
trio machines, high frequency current,
and other most modern and up-to-date
apparatus are used for the cure Of chronic
diseases. The treatment of chronic dis
eases that are peculiar to women have for
many years been factor in the cures
affected at the lnvalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institutes
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
ful 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 cases from every State and Ter
ritory of the Union as well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either through correspondence
or at DIR. Pierce's Institution. 1t is ar
old adage that. Experience makes per-
feet" and the skilled specialists in this
field of practice cure thousands of cases
which have been abandoned as lncurable
by general practitioners.
One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the N-ray used at the Insti-
tute which may he used both in the treat
ment OF various diseases and in the dag
nosis of many obscure conditions. With

gall stones. stone in the blad lcr or in the
kidneys, are shown plainly by what are
known as y ,ny photographs. Internal
tumors, and the enlargement of the deep
seated organs, are also discovered by this
means and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis

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
