An Endless Chain
of Sickness.

There are upwards OF one million deaths
each year in the United States. In g9T
of cases the people who die are less thar
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 a chronic disease which may
bafiie the skill Of the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line oil dis
ease speciality.
1t would be Just as nbsurd for the Pro.
fessor in medical college prcsnming, 10
lecture on ali subjects as for the one Ply
sician to presume 10 understand the nat
ure and cure of every disease.
That Is why Or. R.V. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institutc
many years sgo-with full staf of Ply
sicians and Smrgeons-wbo though edu-
Gated TO practice in all departments .oi
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 nt DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y,
have much to say In regard to this won
derfully equll ped Sanitarnm, where all
electrical apparatus, as Wen as electro
trio machines, high-freqncncy 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 10 women have for
many years been a factor in the cures
affected at the lnydlids Hotel and Sur
gical Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and Skill
frl In the country, men who nave made
these diseases their life study. and whose
highest ambition is to excel In their
treatment,
How well they nave 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. Picrce's Institution. 1T Is an
old adage that Experience makes per
feet" and the skilled specialists in this
field OF practice euro Thousands of cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
One of the most wonderful electrical
appliances Is the &-ray used NJ the lnstl-
tute which may be used both in the treat
ment of various diseases and In the dag
nosis OF many obscure conditions. With
Its aid the interior of the human body Is
nJlonger the sealed book 1t has been here
tofore Abnormal states Of the bones,
gall stones, stone In the hlud n or In the
kidneys, are shown plainly BY what are
known as X.ray photographs Internal
tumors, and the enlargement of the deep
seated organs, are also discovered by this

OF the lungs this agent has proven most
valuable aid. When applied to some OF
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ
origin 1t has proven very effective as n
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with a specially prepared
carbon upon any portion of the body that
may be the seat OF pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains
sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains tthe origin of which cannot al
times be accurately determined frequent
~ find Immediate relief from n single
treatment and usually with a little per
sistence in the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandesceDt light bath, consisting
of cabinet in which the patient /;
bathed in the combined rays of many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results In diabetes, sciatica
rheumatism, obesity, aunmia, and som,
forms of kidney and heart trouble. Il
has also proven able in chronic bron
chitis. bronchial asthma and various Skin
diseases. As a general hygicnic measure
its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti'
mated.
Hundreds are brought To this 1nstitu-
tlon from far distant states and they &C

Quite AS marvellous are the thousands OF
cures annually accomplished through cor
espondence. while the patient remains
quietly at home. Others consult in per-
son, and after being examined are pro
vided with especially prepared medicines

ment
