"The study a practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of the urinary organs. Probably no other institution in the world has been so largely patronised by suffers from this class of maladies as the old and world-famed world’s Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our specialists hare acquired, through a raid and varied experience, great expertcioes in determining the enact nature of each and. hence, hare been successful in nicely adapting their t for the cure of each individual i These delicate disease*should be carefully treated by a specialistthoroughly familiar with them, and > is competent to asoertain the exact condition - 1 of advancement which the disease has I and ■ _j (which can only be ascertained hr a careful chemical i_ microscopical examination of the urine F, for medicines which are curative in one stage or condition are known to do portfire ini In others. We have never, therefore,' attempted to put up anyth for general sate through druggists, recommending to cure tit diseases, although possessing very superior remedial, knowing 1_ well from un extensive experience that the only safe and successful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in each case by a chemical and microscopical examination of the urine, and then adapt our mediant* to ibo exact stage of the disease and condition of our patient. To this wise course of action we attribute the marvelous success attained by our specialists in that important and extensive 'department of our institutions dovotod exclusively to the treatment of diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
