Institute, the Consulting Department of which has since been merged into
the Invalids' Hotel. The organization is duly incorporated under a
statute enacted by the Legislature of the State of New York, and under
the name and style of the "WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION," of
which Dr. PIERCE is President, and in the affairs of which he will, as
heretofore, take an active and constant part.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Dr. R.V.PIERCE, having in the Fall of 1880 resigned his seat in
Congress, has since been able to devote his whole time and attention to
the interests of the Association, and those consulting our Medical and
Surgical Faculty have the full benefits of his council and professional
services. That he should prefer to give up a high and honorable position
in the councils of the nation, to serve the sick, is conclusive evidence
of his devotion to their interests and of love for his profession.

INVALIDS' HOTEL

A MODEL SANITARIUM AND SURGICAL INSTITUTE.

NOT A HOSPITAL, BUT A PLEASANT REMEDIAL HOME,

ORGANIZED WITH

A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS

AND EXCLUSIVELY DEVOTED TO THE

TREATMENT OF ALL CHRONIC DISEASES.

This imposing Establishment was designed and erected to accommodate the
large number of invalids who visit Buffalo from every State and
Territory, as well as from many foreign lands, that they may avail
themselves of the professional services of the Staff of Skilled
Specialists in Medicine and Surgery that compose the Faculty of this
widely-celebrated institution.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.

On the sixteenth of February 1881, the original Invalids' Hotel was
totally destroyed by fire. Although occupied at the time by a large
number of invalids, yet, through the extraordinary exertions of the
Faculty and employees, all were safely removed from the building without
injury to any one. The Board of Trustees took prompt steps to rebuild,
for the accommodation of the many sufferers who apply, to avail
themselves of the skill, facilities and advantages of treatment which
such a perfectly equipped establishment affords. Profiting by the
experience afforded by several years
