II wOnld be Just as absurd for the Pro

That Is why Dir R.N. PiIrce established

eases that are peculiar to women have for
many years been a factor In the cures
affected at the InYalids' Hotel and Sur

The physicians and surgeons employed

Judged from the fact that their practice
embraces cases from every state and Ter
rltory OF the Union as well us from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated. either through correspondence
Or at DR.. Plerce's Institution. 1t Is an
old adage that, Experience makes per-
feet and the skilled specialists in this
field of practice cure thousands of eases
which have been abandoned as incurablc
by general practitioners.
One Of the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the X-ray used at the Insti-
tute which may be- used 10th in the treat
ment of various diseases and in the dag

known as N-ray photographs. Internal
