An Endless Chain
of Sickness,

There are upwards Of one million deaths
each year in the United States. In g9%
OF cases the people who die are less than
sixty five years old. The evils that are
due to disease can be escaped just in pro
portion as the conditions and habits that
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too a chronic disease which may
battle the skill Of the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line OF dis
ease a speciality.
1t would be lust as absurd for the Pro
fessor In medical college presuming to
lecture on all subjects as for the one Ply
sician to presume to understand the nat
ure and cure OF every disease
That is why DR.. R.V. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-wiih full stan OF Phy-
sicians and Surgeons though edu-
Gated TO practice In all departments o.
medicine are here assigned 10 special
department only-to which each special
list devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at Dr.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo. n. Y.
have much 10 say in regard TO this won
derfully equipped Sanitarium, where all
electrical apparatus. as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths. static elec
tric machines. high frequency current
and other most modern and up 10 date
apparatus are used for the cure OF chronic
diseases. The treatment OF chronic dis
eases that arc peculiar to women have for
many wears been factor III the cures
affected Mt the lnyalids' Hotel ani Sur
gical Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
ful I'm the country, men who have made
these diseases their lie study, and whose
highest ambition - TO excel In their
treatment
How well they have succeeded may be
Judged from the fact that their practice
embraces cases from every State and Ter
ritory OF the Union rs well as from foreign
lands. Many thousands are annually
treated, either though correspondence
or at DIR. T.crce's Institution. IL is az
old adage that, Experience makes per
e,t,r and the skilled specialists in this
field OF practice euro thousands OF cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners. q,
One OF the most wonderful electrical
appliances is the X-ray used at the 1nsti-
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 IL
no longer the sealed book IL has been here
tofore. Abnormal states Of the bones,
gall stones, stone in the bladder 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
means and in the diagnosis of tuberculosis
OF the lungs this agent has proven most
valuable aid. When applied to some OF
the less fatal chronic ailments OF germ
origin IL has proven very effective as
curative agent
Another interesting proceeding is the
IL and hNf
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with specially prepared
carbon upon any portion OF the body that
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, scatica, rheumatism, strains
sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (the origin OF which cannot al
times be accurately determined) frequent
treatment and usually with little per
sistence in the use OF this aid, comfortabl,
health or perfect recovery Is obtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
OF a cabinet in which the patient +
bathed In the com bined rays OF man!
electric light globes, has produced reall!
wonderful results In diabetes, sclatlca
forms OF kidney and heart trouble. l
has also proven valuable in chronic bron
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skill
diseases. As . general hygienic measur
its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti
mated.
