Of chronic diseases. The treatment Of
the chronic diseases that are neculiar tn
women have for many wears been a large
factor in the cures affected at the In

home. not hospital. such cases AS rnn.

cured i'm ten days. and the pafient is ahle
TO return home. The terms are moderate

carativcly low. In tie Examination and
treatment of patients the practice is
divided into speciaItics. Each member of
the Faculty. although educated To nrac-

surgery. is here assigned TO a speciaT de-
partrnent only. to which he devotes his
entire time. study and attention. Not
only Is superior skill thus attained hnt
also rapidity and accuracy i'm the diappo-
sis of disease.
