has certain unmistakable signs or symp-
toms. BY reason of this fact the physi-
clans and specialists connected with DR..
Pierce's Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute at Buffalo, are enabled TO accu-
rately determine the nature OF many
chronic diseases without seeing and per-
Sonally examining their patients. In rec
ogniZing disease without personal exam
ination of the patient, they do not claim
tain their knowledge of the patients dis
ease by practical and well-estaDIished
principles of modern science. Certain
diseases display certain peculiar traits.
Subjected to scientific analysis they fur
nish abundant data to guide the judg-
ment of the skillful practitioner. This
method of treating patients at distance,
by mail. has been so successful that there
is scarcely city or village In the
United States that is not represented by
one or more cases upon the records OF
practice at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
/ gical Institute. Such. rare cases as cam

Il
ment, or electrical therapeutics, receive
I the services of the most skillful specialists
at the Institution.
DR.. r. V. Pierce long ago established

! physicians may be consulted, by letter,
free and without charge whatever, II you
wish specialists. advice upon any
chronic malady. The same system OF
aspecialltes is observed as in the depart
ments of medical college. The professor
/ who would assume to lecture in all depart
ments with equal ease and proficiency
would be severely ridiculed by his col
/ leagues. and it is Just as absured to sup
pose that the general practitioner can
keep himself informed Of the many new
methods of treatment that are being con.
| stantly devised and adopted in the several
departments of Medicine and Surgery.
