An Endless Chain
of Sickness

There are upwards OF one million death
each year In the United States. In 99a
of cases the people who die are less thai
sixty-tive years old. The evils that ar,
due to disease can be escaped Just In pre-
portion as the conditions and habits tina
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too chronic disease which may
oafile the skill of the general practitionei
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 a medical college presuming L
lecture on all subjects as for the one PLY
scian to presume to understand the nat
ure and cure of every disease.
That is why DIR. w. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with full staff OF Ply
siclans and Surgeons-who though edu
Gated to practice in all departments OF
medicine are here assigned to special
department only-to which each special
st devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at DIR.

apparatus are used for tic cure OF chronic
diseases. The treatment of chronic dis

| One of the most wonderful electrical

has also proven valuable In chronic bron.
