Sometimes they came to the camp begging, and so exhausted were they with hunger, that they were scarcely able to walk. Thiagenf leman declares, and hia Btatiement la atrengthened by the teatimony ot Boorea of other competent witnesses, that the physical inferiority of the Indians, their squalor, lack of ambition, and general degen- eracy are due to the fact that or the greater Start of tbe year they are half f.^miahhig for opd. In view of teae faota the wonder la that oattle-atealing and the plundering of stores are not in more general practice and it la quite certain that white men wonld not meekly lie down and die of atarvation while there was a cattie ranch or a mangt atbre in aiding diatanoe. The truth of the matter la that our Indiana are not the lawleaa, noiay voraoiona people that we too frequently see them described, but as a rule bear their suf- ferings in stolid silence, and sometimes lie down and die in the sight of food. Govermhent have to some extent recogniz- ed this fact, and consequently it waa decided to eatabliah farming schools at whiah the Indian might learn to plough the land, sow the seed, and tend and gather the crops. Bnt the project of regeneration waa net ao satiaf aotory when put m practice aa it aeem- ed on paper for oonatantly would reour the apathy to routine labor and a diataate for permanent locality, while the figure of a buffalo aeen against the horizon would arouse all the latent hnnter'afire; and throwing down the apade the eratwhile farmer would be found witii neok thnut out atriding off in the faaofaiating ohaM. The moat difficult leaaon to teach the aav- age waa to wait to aee that the com, and wheat, and oata sown in the spring would yield food in the aulumn. In many oaaea Indiana who had worked Indnatrioualy for aeveral weeka puttbginoropa would become poaaeaaed of the hnntinjr or fiahing fever when the grain fields were green in the early atmi- mer and the root cropa promising, go away and niiver return again. Some imei an In- dian fanner would kill the oxen sent him by government to plough his laud; sell hia plough! and harrowa, and then sit down in despair refusing to make provision for the aeaaon when the prairie ia covered with snow and nothing ia to be had for arrow apear.

The thriftleas vagabonds ia wliat the people said who knew noth ng of Indian character, but who would wor- ship any nice ayatem tipon paper.

Not a Hospital, but a pleasant Remedial Home, organized with A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, And exclnsiTely 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 slcUled specialists in medicine and surgery uiot cxHnpose tbe Faculty of this widely-celebrated institution. NOT AIRWAYS XBCESSARY TO SEK PATIENTS. By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con- sultation. While we are always glad to see our patients, and lecome acquainted with them, show them our insntutions, and familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not seen one person in five bundned whom we have cured. 7he per- fect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the moat minute particulaxs in their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages. T^e, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraphy the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exaetty locate a f ratture in a sub- marine cable nearly ttiree thousand miles long? Oiu* venerable " clerk of the weather " has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit In Washington and foretell what the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as tf several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the p.'TSS named. And so in all departments of modem science, what is required is the knowledge of certain stgna. From these scientists deduce accurate con- clusions regardless of distance. So, also, in medi- cal science, diseases have certain unmistakable signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we have been enabled to originate and perfect a sya- â-  â-  tem of determining, with the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases, without seeing and personally 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 medi- cine, of well-established principles of modem 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 the marvelous success which has been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena, which, being sub- jected to scientific analysis, furnish abundant and unmistakable data, to' guide the judgment of 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 be or she may reside from the physicians making the treat- ment of such affections a specialty.

OUR FIEXbD fXP SUCHSESS. Becognizlng the fact that no great Jnstitu- NtSlI THMIT " dedicated exclusively to the treatment lUeRlij I nuVAl of chronic diseases, would meet the needs of the afHicted of our land, without the most pierf ect, complete and extensive provision for the most improved treatment of dlaeaaes of the alr-paeaagee and Iuum, such as Ctaronle Nasal Catarrb, Xaryiig itla, Broncbltlau Asthma, and Couenmptlon, we have made this branch or our institution one of the leading Depart- ments. We have every kind of useful instrument for examming the organs involved, such as rbinoscopes, laryngoscopes, stetho- scopes, spirometers, etc., etc., us well as all of the most approved kinds of apparatus for the application of sprays, fumigations, atomizations, pulverizations, inhalations, and all other forms of approved medicinal applications. We publish three separate books on Nasal, Throat and Lung diseases, viz.: A Treatise on ConaumptioUi Laryngitis and Bron- chitis; price, postpaid, ten cents; A treatise on Asthma, or Phthisic, giving new and successful treatment price, postpaid, ten cents; A treatise on Chronic Nasal Catarrh, price, postpaid, two ccuts* DyepepelHi **IilTer Conaplalnt.** Ob« atinate Constlpatioiit Chroulc Dlar^ rhea« Tape-ivorme. and kindred affections are among those chronic diseases in the suc- cessful treatment of which our specialists have attained unparalleled success. Many of the dis- ' eases affecting the liver and other organs con- tributing in their functions to the process of digestion, are very obscure, and are not infreqently mistaken by both laymen and physicians for other maladies, and treatment is employed'directed to the removal of a disease which does not exist.

BRICST'S DISEASE, DIABETES, and ifinnrv kindred maladies, have been very largely treated, lUUIItf andcureseffectedin thousands of cases which had been pronounced beyond hope. The ^tudy and practice of chemical analysis and microscopica] examination of the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of the urinary organs. Our specialists have acquired, through a vast and varied exicri- ence, great expeitaees la Setermining the exact nature of each case, and, hence, have teen successful in nicely, adapting their remedies for the cure of each individual case.

We, many years ago, established a spe Department for the treatment or^ these diseases, under the management of some of the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order tbat all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full Goundl of the most experienced medical men. We offer no apology for devoting so much atfeen- in to this n^lected claflS of diseases, believing yVl IbiII nev °^ condition of humanity Is too wretched to mem NU ArULUbl. the sympathy and best services of the noble pro- fession 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 understand and yet of all the other maladies which affliet mankind there are probably none about which physicians in gen- etal 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 bands of unscrupulous pretenders. Because tbe subject is disa- greeable, compet^it physicians are loath to be concerned with it. l%e same unnecessary nstidiousness causes tbe treatment of this malady to be avoided in private practice." We shall, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, and skill, all applicants who are suf- fering from any of uiese deUcate diseases. ^, _^ Our Complete and Illustrated Treatise on these subjecm is sent to any address on receipt of ten cents in stamps.
