ful in the country, men who have made
these diseases their life study, and whose
highest ambition Is to excel in their treat
ment. How well they have succeeded
may be judged from the fact that their
practice embraces cases from every state
and territory of the Union, as well as
from foreign lands. Many thousands are
annually treated either through CORES
pondence or at this Institution, founded
by DIR. X. V. Pierce many years ago. It's
an old adage that Experience makes
perfect" and the skilled specialist in this
field OF practice cures thousands OF cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
A chemical and microscopical test of
the water from the human body will tell

or not. These tests of health are con-

gall stones, stone in the bladder or in tine
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
means and in the diagnosis Of tuberculosis

valuable aid. When applied to some of
the less fatal chronic ailments of germ

curative agent.

violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
