An Endless Chain
of Sickness.

There are upwards OF one million deaths
each year in the United States. In yg%
Of cases the people who die are less thar
sixty-fiye years old. The evils that are
due to disease can be escaped 9ust IN Rru

bring on disease become more widely

That Is why DR.. K. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-with full stan ot Phy-
sicians and SurgeOns-who though eau
Gated to practice In all departments OF
edicine are here assigned to special

attention.

The ply yslclans and surgeons employed

How well they nave succeeded may be

fect,T and the skilled specialists In this
field OF practice cure thousands OF cases
i which have been abandoned as incurabie
by general practitioners.
| One of the most wonderful! electrical

tute which may be used both in the treat
ment of various diseases and in the dag
nosis OF many obscure conditions. With

tofore. Abnormal states of the bones,
i gall stones, stone in the blad.cr or in the
kidneys, are shown plainly by what are
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
the less fatal chronic ailments OF germ
origin it has proven very effective as a
curative agent.
Another interesting proceeding is the
violet-ray treatment produced by concen-
trating the violet or chemical rays from
an arc light with n specially prepared
carbon upon any portion of the body that
may be the seat of pain. Sufferers from
neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, strains,
sprains, also from those obscure exhaust
ing pains (the origin of which cannot Il
times be accurately deteIminedD frequent
ly find immediate relief from single
treatment and usually with little per-
sistence in the use Of this aid, comfortable
health or perfect recovery is obtained.
The incandescent light bath, consisting
Of a cabinet in which the patient is
bathed in the com bined rays OF many
electric light globes, has produced really
wonderful results in diabetes, sciatica.

has also proven valuable In chronic bron-
chitis, bronchial asthma and various skin
diseases. AS o general hygienic measure
its efficiency can scarcely be over-esti-
mated.
Hundreds are brought to this Instltu-
tion from far distant states and they go
!, home in few weeks well and strong.
Quite as marvellous are the thousands of
cures annually accomplished through cor
espondence, while the patient remains
son, and after being examined are pro-
vided with especially prepared medicines
and return home to carry out the treat
ment.

whether by letter or in person receives the
most careful and considerate attention.
Great care is exercised not to over en-
