An Edless Chain
of Sickness.

There are upwards OF one million deaths
each year In tie United States. In g0a
of cases the people who die are less thar
sixIy-f five years old. The evils that art
due to disease can be escaped Just in pro-
portion as the conditions aud habits that
bring on disease become more widely
understood.
Then too chronic disease which may
oaffie the skill OF the general practitioner
may yet be permanently cured by the
Physician who has made one line OF dis
ease speciality.
1t would be just as absurd for the Pro
fessor in a medical college presuming to
lecture on all subjects as for the one Ply
sician to presume TO under tand the nat
ure and cure of every disease.
That is why Dr. R.V. Pi,rce established
the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with luil stan OF Ply
Gated to practice in all departments OF
medicine are here assigned to special
department only-to which each special
ist devotes his entire tlme, study and
attention.
The sick who have been treated at DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y,
have much to say in regard to this won.

electrical apparatus, as well as electric
water baths, Turkish baths, static cleo
trio machines, high frequency 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 to women have for
many years been factor in the cures
| affected at the lnVallds notel ana sur
| gical Institute.
The physicians and surgeons employed
| are among the most experienced and skill
| full in the country, men who have made
| these diseases their life study, and whose
| highest ambition is to excel In thar
| treatment.
| How well they nave succeeded may be
| Judged from the fact that their practice
| embraces cases from every state and Ier-
| ritory of the Union as well as from foreign
| lands. Many thousands are annually
| treated, either through correspondence
| or at DR.. Pierce's Institution. 1t Is an
| old adage that, Experience makes per-
feet" and the skilled specialists in this
| field Of practice cure thousands OF cases
| which have been abandoned as incurable
| by general practitioners.
One of the most wonderful electrical
| appliances Is the X-ray used at the Insti-
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 10

tofore. Abnormal stntcs Of the bones,
gall stones, stone in the bladder or In the
kidneys, are shown plainly by what are
known as N-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 q
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding Is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
tratng the violet or chemical rays from

carbon upon any portion of the body that
