The Young gentlemen named Are students in their respective colleges and take their place in the Hospital As Quot iut Ernea Quot Urner the direction of the medical staff of the institution. In the United states court yesterday Henry Schwessinger entered a plea of guilty to the indictment charging him with Selling unstamped matches. The governments attorney Ollied the first count and upon the others the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the plea. Judge swing sentenced the defendant to Paya Fine of $50 and posts of prosecution. A Partt named George Thomas agent has solicited a number of subscriptions in the Vicinity of Buffalo West Virginia for a paper called the Captain Charles a. Johnson of Buffalo is one of his Many victims. He is a fraud. Wonders of modern science. The perfect accuracy with which scientists Are enabled to deduce the Moet minute particulars in their Sev Cral departments appears almost miraculous if we View it in the Light of the a after Ages. Take for example the electro magnetic Telegraph the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a submarine Cabin nearly three thousand Matfes Long our venerable Quot clerk of the weather has become so thoroughly familiar with those most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell what the weather will be to Morrow in Florida or new York As Well As if several Hundred Miles not intervene Between him Aud the places named. And so in All departments of modern science what is required is the knowledge of certain sign. From these the scientists deduce accurate conclusions regardless of distance. A few fossils sent to the expert geologist enable him to accurately determine the Rock formation from which they were taken. He can de cube it to you As perfectly As it a Cleft of it Weie lying on his table. To also the chemist can determine the Constitution of the Sun As accurately As if that luminary were not niner Julve million Miles from his Laboratory. The san sends certain Over the Quot infinitude of space and the chemist classifies them by passing them through the Spectroscope. Only the presence of certain substances could produce these signs. So also in medical science diseases have certain unmistakable signs or symptoms and by reason of this fact. Or. Pierce of the worlds dispensary has been enabled to originate and perfect a system of determining with the greatest accuracy the nature of chronic diseases without seeing and personally examining Lus patients. He has spared neither fails nor expense to associate with himself As the a acuity of the worlds dispensary a Large number of medical gentlemen of rare attainments and skills graduates from some of the most famous medical colleges and universities of both Europe Aud America. By Aid of or. Pierces system of diagnosis these physicians and surgeons annually treat with the most Gratifying Success Many thousands of invalids without Ever seeing them in person. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of the patient they claim to assess no miraculous Powers. They attain their knowledge of the patients disease by the practical application of Well established principles of modern science to tho practice of Medicine. And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed them that they owe their almost world wide reputation for the skillful treatment of All lingering or chronic affections. Tuts system of practice Aud the marvelous Success which has been attained through it demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain Phenomena which being subjected to scientific analysis or synthesis furnish abundant Aud unmistakable data to guide the judgment of the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions. The amp est resources tor 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 specially. To peculiarities of this scientific system of practice Are fully cup Irinod in tho appendix of the Quot Peoples common sense Cal adviser a a Book of Over 900 Large paces which is so popular As to have reached As Leof almost 100,000 copies within a few months of its first publication.
