examining our patients. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of the patient, we claim to possess no miraculous powers. We obtain our knowledge of the patient’s disease by the practical application, to the practice of medicine, of well-established principles of modern science. And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed us that we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfully treating lingering or chronic affections. This system of practice, and muokow. the marvelous -success which has been attained [Mtouriniio through-it, demonstrate the fact that diseases mAnVtLUuo display certain phenomena, which, being subQnnnron jected to scientific analysis, furnish abundant uUuutuux and unmistakable data, to guide the judgment o f the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions. The most, ample resources for treating lingering or chronic diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus placed within the easy reach of every invalid, however distant he or she may reside from the physicians making the treatment of such affections a specialty. Full particulars of our original, scientific system of examining and treating patients at a distance are contained in “The People’s Common Sense Medical Advi.cr.” By R. V. Pierce, M. D. 1000 pages and over :JOO colored and other illustrations. Sent, post-paid, for $1.50.

PILES, FISTULA IN ANO, and other disn„ eases affecting the region of the lower bowel, are r ILE largely treated, and with marvelous success, by specialists, who give their whole time to the study TIII*DOQ and treatment of this class of affections. We never I UHIUno. fail to cure pile tumors, however large. When the patient can come here for treatment, we will guarantee a cure. Fortunately for suffering humanity, a method of treatment has been perfected and thoroughly tested in our institutions, by which in from six to fifteen days radical and perfect cures of the worst forms of piles are effected without causing any severe suffering. Send ten cents in stamps for our large illustrated Treatise on Piles. I I Hernia (Breach), or Rupture, no matter of how long standing, of what size, or what the age of the patient may be (if not under four years), is speedily and radically eared in every case undertaken by our specialists, without the knife, without dependence upon trusses, without pain, and without danger. Tunniil AlillV There is no longer any need of wearing clumsy, I nnUW An Ai awkward, chafing, old trusses, which, at best, give Tniioora onJ y partial relief, which never cure, but often inflict I nUooto. great injury and induce inflammation and strangulation, from which thousands annually die. Mat There is no safety in depending upon any kind of truss, nUI though, no doubt, every man who has suffered the agonies Qirr of a strangulated hernia, and died, thought himself safe. OArt. Both the rupture and the truss keep up a mental strain and induce nervous debility and various organic weaknesses of the kidneys, bladder, and associate organs. CURES GUARANTEED in every case undertaken. Can any sufferer ask for greater inducements than these? Notwithstanding the great number of ruptures treated in the three years past, many of them of immense size and of such a character that no other plan of treatment could possibly have succeeded, every case to which this perfected system of treatment has been thoroughly has been perfectly cured. Only a few days residence at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical institute is necessary. Abundant references, by permission of those whom we have cured, will be furnished to any one wishing to call upon or write them. An illustrated treatise on Rupture sent to any address upon receipt as ten cents. ■kmmmmmkm Organic weakness, nervous debility, premature fimniTr decline of the manly powers, involuntary vital UELIuATE losses, and kindred affections, are speedily, thoroughly and permanently cured. To those acquainted with our institutions it is MiotaoLO. h ar d]y necessary to say that the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, with the branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London, England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being the most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions in the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices. We, many years ago, established a special Department for the treatment of these diseases, under the management of some of the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full Council of the most experienced medical men. Wc Amo Wc offeT no apology for devoting bo much attennt Urrtn tion to this neglected class of diseases, believing lln AnflinflV no condition of humanity is too wretched to merit RU ArULUUI. the sympathy and best services of the noble profession to which we belong. Many who suffer from these terrible diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man intent on doing good, and alleviating suffering, should shun such cases, we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to cure the worst cases of these diseases, we cannot'uhderstand; and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there are probably none about which physicians in general practice know so little. We fully agree with the celebrated Dr, Bartholow. who says, “ I think it a reproach to our profession that this subject has been permitted, in a measure by our own indifference, to pass into the hands of unscrupulous pretenders. Because the subject is disagreeable, competent physicians are loath to be concerned with it. The same unnecessary fastidiousness causes the treatment of thia malady to be avoided in private practice.”” , We shall, therefore, continue, as herdtnfore. to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, and skill, all applicants who are suffering from any of these delicate diseases. ■ . - Our Complete and Illustrated Treatise on these subjects is sent to any address on receipt of ten cents in stamps.
