FFERED TO INVALIDS.

Obviously, the most important of these advantages is _facility of
treatment_. Of the thousands whom we have cured of chronic diseases, we
have probably not seen one in five hundred, having accomplished the
desired result through remedies sent either by mail or express, and
advice given by letter. Yet in some obstinate forms of disease, we can
here bring to bear remedial means not to be found or applied elsewhere.

That thousands of cases of chronic disease, pronounced incurable, have,
by our rational and scientific treatment, been restored to perfect
health, is conclusively proved by the records of practice at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. Here, in obstinate cases, are
brought to bear all the most scientific remedial appliances and methods
of treatment.

A system of mechanical movements, passive exercises, manipulations,
kneadings and rubbings, administered by a large variety of
ingeniously-contrived machinery, driven by stream-power, has been found
especially efficacious and valuable, as an aid to medical and surgical
treatment, in the cure of obstinate cases of nervous and sick headache,
constipation, paralysis, or palsy, stiffened joints, crooked and
withered limbs, spinal curvature, tumors, diseases of women, especially
displacements of the uterus, or womb, such as prolapsus, retroversion
and anteversion, chronic inflammation, enlargement and ulceration of the
uterus, and kindred affections; also in nervous debility, sleeplessness,
and other chronic diseases. Mechanical power, or force, is by these
machines transmitted to the system, in which it is transformed into
vital energy and physical power or strength. This mechanical, passive
exercise, or movement-cure treatment, differs widely from, and should
not be confounded with, "Swedish movements," to which it is far superior
in efficacy. Coupled with our improved and wonderful system of
"Vitalization" treatment, it affords the most perfect system of physical
training and development ever devised. For the restoration of power to
wasted, undeveloped, or weakened organs or parts, for their enlargement,
this combined movement and "Vitalization" treatment is unequaled. It can
be applied to strengthen or enlarge any organ or part. We also employ
both Dynamic and Static electricity, "Franklinism" and Electrolysis, and
chemical, Turkish and other baths, in all cases in which they are
indicated. Inhalations, administered by means of the
