CASE 551,864, URETHRAL STRICTURE--NASAL CATARRH--CURED IN TWENTY DAYS--A PREVIOUS OPERATION BY A NASHVILLE (TENN.) SURGEON UTTERLY FAILED.

[Ill.u.s.tration: S.A.D. Smith, Esq.]

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL, a.s.sOCIATION. Buffalo, N.Y.:

In September, 1886, I was examined by one of your able staff of physicians and was found to be suffering with a bad form of nasal catarrh and with two strictures in the urethra (water pa.s.sage). After a few days' general treatment, I was operated upon and turned over to be cared for by the nurse, from whom I received all the attention that was necessary. To my utter astonishment I was dismissed in twenty days from the Surgical Inst.i.tute, cured of the stricture. I had been operated on by one able surgeon of Nashville, Tenn., and was worse after the operation than before. I have never had a symptom of the stricture since I was dismissed from the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, and have been in better health than ever before in my life.

Very truly, S.A.D. SMITH, Laurel Hill, Tenn.

CASE 820,201. STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA OF THREE YEARS' STANDING--COULD Pa.s.s URINE ONLY IN DROPS AND WITH GREAT PAIN.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Frank Brendell, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--Wis.h.i.+ng to add my testimony as to your great skill in surgery, I will say that I suffered with stricture of the urethra, due to an injury, for about three years. It became so bad that at times I could pa.s.s water only in drops and with great pain. I went to a doctor here, who used sounds which helped me for a time, but in less than six weeks I was worse than ever. Hearing of your place, I came to you and had a painless operation performed, and have ever since been thoroughly cured. I experience no trouble or pain. It is three years since I had the operation, and the cure has proved permanent. You have my deepest grat.i.tude.

Yours truly, FRANK BRENDELL, Olean, Catt. Co., N.Y.

CASE 820,472. COMPLICATED AFFECTION OF NERVOUS SYSTEM AND URINARY ORGANS.

[Ill.u.s.tration: E.J. Archer, Esq.]

_To the afflicted with chronic Diseases:_

It is with great pleasure that I refer to the successful treatment, together with the kind care and attention received at the hands of the professional staff, both physicians and nurses, of the world-renowned Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute. In every way It verifies their statement--"Not a hospital but a pleasant remedial home," and as such I add my name to the thousands who know and recommend it to the afflicted.

Not only was this true in my own case, but in many which came under my observation while there, so I say to the afflicted--visit them if you can and if your case (no matter of what character) is Within human skill, you will never have to regret it.

Very sincerely yours, EDWARD J. ARCHER, Plainwell, Mich.

CASE 520,408. STONE IN THE BLADDER.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Rob't Worthington, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--For six years I had been a great sufferer from stone in the bladder. The discomfort increased, until it almost became unbearable.

Hearing of the universal success of the specialist at the Invalids'

Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, in similar cases, I went there and submitted to an operation. The method employed was their new and painless one of crus.h.i.+ng, no knife or cutting instrument being used. I felt no pain afterward, there was no fever, and I could have gone home the day after. The operation was witnessed by one of my friends, who says it was very artistic and done with skill. It was a complete success, for I have not been troubled in the least, although nearly seven years have pa.s.sed.

I feel that I cannot speak in too high praise of this renowned Inst.i.tution and its staff of skilled physicians. No invalid need fear to place himself under the skillful treatment and kindly care to be received there, for I am confident that all the benefit known to medical science, can be obtained at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute.

CASE 114,747. NERVOUS DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA, KIDNEY AND LIVER DISEASE--CURED.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION:

[Ill.u.s.tration: B.V. Wright, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I take pleasure in informing you that the treatment you gave me for the relief of an affection of the spine and nervous system, disease of the digestive organs, kidneys and liver, has been entirely successful. I had feared that my health was gradually being undermined, prior to entering your inst.i.tution, and I can testify to the perfect appointment that you have, the excellent apparatus for the administration of electrical and other ma.s.sage treatment and baths. My relief was most satisfactory, and the cure has remained permanent.

I take pleasure in recommending your inst.i.tution to the afflicted, believing that you have the very best treatment for chronic diseases known, and I have had an opportunity to satisfy myself, from conversation with other invalids in your Inst.i.tution, of the care and skillful treatment that you administer, and its excellent effects. I believe that it is fully abreast of the times, and equal to any inst.i.tution in the world.

With many good wishes and thanks for my cure,

I remain, Yours truly, B.V. WRIGHT, Graniteville, Middles.e.x Co., Ma.s.s.

CASE 790,698. DIABETES CURED BY HOME TREATMENT.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Woodruff.]

_To whom it may concern_:

This is to certify that for a number of years I was a constant sufferer, and what was many times termed a hopeless victim of that terrible disease, diabetes. The symptoms were indeed alarming; my strength being so completely exhausted that my walking from room to room was attended with difficulty. My nerves were in a constant tremor, and in fact no other words than that, "I was completely out of fix all over," will express my condition. Having purchased a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for my daughter, and in looking over the directions of the accompanying circular and finding my own case so thoroughly described, I decided at once to give his special home treatment a trial, which I did during the three months that followed. This proved to be all that was required for the restoration of my usual health, and during the four years which have since elapsed I have had not the slightest reason for believing otherwise than that a perfect cure has been effected, and can most heartily recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines and treatment to any or all who may be suffering with kidney complaint in any form.

Very sincerely yours, MRS. MARY A. WOODRUFF, Columbus Junct., Louisa Co., Ia.

CASE 795,590. INCONTINENCE OF URINE--CURED BY SPECIAL HOME TREATMENT.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Miss Richman.]

_Dear Sir_--I consider myself duty-bound to you and suffering humanity to acknowledge the benefit that I have received from your treatments.

From babyhood till I was twenty years old I was continually bothered with a weakness of the muscles of the bladder, that gave me much trouble, both by night as well as day. I doctored with several physicians and tried all patent medicines, but could not get any relief until I took your medicine about six months, and now I am sound and well. It has been over two years since I quit taking your medicine, and have had no symptoms of the disease returning.

Yours most gratefully.

Miss MOLLIE RICHMAN.

CASE 4A-2,226. BRIGHT'S DISEASE AND GRAVEL CURED BY SPECIAL HOME TREATMENT.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.W. Thompson, Esq.]

_Dear Sir_--You have my thanks and best wishes for your success, as you cured me of what the doctors here called Bright's Disease and Stone in the Bladder. They did me no good, so I concluded to write to you, which I did, and am happy to say your medicine worked like a charm. G.o.d and myself only know how I suffered. I lost fifty-six pounds of flesh in six weeks and I thought my time had come, but when I commenced taking your medicine, in three days I saw a change for the better was taking place, and in one month I considered myself cured. I am still in good health and can do as hard a day's work as any man. Again I thank you. Your charges were reasonable and any one suffering as I was should write you at once.
