By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases just as successfully without as with a personal eon- sultation. While we. are always glad to see our patients, and become acquainted With them, show them our institutions, and familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The per- feet accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several departments. appears almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages. Take, for example. the eleetro-magnetie telegraph. the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a. marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to emetly locate a. fracture in a subâ€" marine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable ” clerk of the weather" has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements.
