TESTIMONIALS.
The testimonials that we append are but a small number out of the great ma.s.s that we have received. A very large percentage of individuals who have been treated by us for rupture desire that their disability be held a matter of sacred confidence and with all such we take pleasure in guarding their confidence with the greatest care. Others are quite willing that their experience may be made public in this manner for the benefit of similar sufferers.
If the following letters had been written by your best known and most esteemed neighbors they could be no more worthy of your confidence than they now are, coming, as they do, from well known, intelligent and trustworthy citizens, who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence and respect of all who know them.
A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER
TESTIFIES TO HIS CURE OF RUPTURE. THE CONSTANT JAR OF A LOCOMOTIVE IS ONE OF THE SEVEREST TESTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO A RECENTLY CURED CASE.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: F.W. Frost, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--After suffering a number of years from a painful Rupture, I went to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, at Buffalo. While there, I submitted to an operation which was not painful. It was done without chloroform, ether or any dangerous anaesthetic. Under the skillful treatment of your specialists and the very close and kind attention of your nurses, in less than a month, I left the Inst.i.tution feeling like a new man. I have every reason to believe that the Hernia will never return, and that I am permanently cured. It it a great relief to go without a truss.
Very respectfully, F.W. FROST, Rotterdam June, Schenectady Co., N.Y.
A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER'S
ADVICE TO SUFFERERS FROM RUPTURE. THE CONSTANT JAR OF A LOCOMOTIVE IS ONE OF THE SEVEREST TESTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO A RECENTLY CURED CASE.
THROW AWAY TRUSSES.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: F.S. Auchenpaugh, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--I am an engineer--running an engine on the Western Division of the Fitchburg Railroad. I had a severe case of double Hernia; still, have always worked along with them until this winter. One side was of twenty-five years' standing--the other of about eight years. This winter I was laid up sick with pneumonia; in coughing so much, which of course was made necessary by that terrible disease, I strained myself so that after getting up from my sick-bed, I was not able to go to work, as I could get no truss that would hold the rupture. I was talking with Brother Stagg one day. He asked me "why I did not go to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, at Buffalo, N.Y., and get cured?" I went, and in three weeks was cured, so that I could dispose of my truss entirely.
I wish to say this comes from me direct; it was my own proposition that this letter be made public.
Yours respectfully, F.S. AUCHENPAUGH, Rotterdam, N.Y.
RUPTURE FROM BOYHOOD.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: A. Sauvain, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--I am glad to say that I was cured at the World's Dispensary Medical a.s.sociation after suffering from boyhood until the age of twenty-five from a hernia, or rupture, by a treatment of twenty days. It is now five years since I was cured, and can say that I was permanently cured. You have my most sincere grat.i.tude for your skillful operation and the good care received in your Inst.i.tution while there. I can recommend your nurses and physicians most highly, and I think your Inst.i.tution unequaled in this country.
Yours truly, ALBERT SAUVAIN, Silverton, Marion Co., Oreg.
HERNIA--LEFT INGUINAL--PRESENT EIGHT YEARS WITH NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: A.J. Kidder, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--I take greatest pleasure in making public the most wonderful cure I received at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute of Buffalo.
I had suffered severely for eight years with a left inguinal hernia; had tried many physicians and medicines, but found only temporary relief. I was greatly run-down, and my nervous system considerably shattered. My friends persuaded me to go to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute. While there I was operated on by their specialist, and in a few weeks began to gain strength and energy so that I could return home, and have since felt entirely well.
Words could not do justice to my feeling in regard to this inst.i.tution.
There is no place like it for medical aid, and I would urge all invalids to go there, feeling confident that they could no where receive more skillful treatment or more kind attention and care.
Respectfully, A.J. KIDDER, North Yam Hill, Yam Hill Co., Oreg.
HERNIA. CURED SEVERE PAIN.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: J.H. Riemer, Esq.]
_Dear Sirs_--Your favor received and found that you would like to have me give you a testimony of my case I will say in reply that I was treated at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, for Hernia on the left side. It was not large but it gave me severe pain while working. I wore a truss but it did not relieve the pain very much. I read in the paper one night your advertis.e.m.e.nt and a week after I started for the Invalids' Hotel, and took the treatment for rupture and went home sound and happy, like a new man, and I can work harder than ever and can a.s.sure anyone interested that it is no humbug.
With the best wishes, JOHN H. RIEMER, Zion, Wis.
P.S.--If any one would like to inquire about my case give them my full address and I will inform them about it, if they enclose return stamped and addressed envelope for reply. J.H.R.
"SOUND AS A DOLLAR."
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Ill.u.s.tration: B.F. Hook, Esq.]
_Gentlemen_--Am greatly pleased to report that the operation for the radical cure for rupture received at your Inst.i.tution in May, 1889, has proved entirely successful. I am sound as a dollar. My case was an extremely troublesome and dangerous one. Many times I required the a.s.sistance of a surgeon to reduce it. No truss would hold it a whole day. My two weeks' stay with you was worth thousands of dollars to me.
Will gladly answer any inquiry and would advise any one suffering from hernia to take the radical cure.
Very truly yours, B.F. HOOK, Holmesville, Holmes Co., Ohio.
RUPTURE, DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, AND KIDNEY DISEASE.
[Ill.u.s.tration: A.N. Kingsley, Esq.]
The following is from the widely-known and popular proprietor of the Kingsley House at Ashuelot, N.H.: "It may seem useless to add testimony to the overwhelming ma.s.s already given of the many remarkable cures performed at your Inst.i.tution, but I deem it a pleasure and a duty to add mine to your long list as _very remarkable_. I had a rupture of twenty-seven years' standing, with hemorrhage of the kidney for six months, preceding my visit to your Inst.i.tute, and was also troubled badly with indigestion, all of which ailments had reduced me in strength and flesh to a mere skeleton. Had been treated by many local physicians, who failed to do me any good. I could walk but a very short distance when I left my home on the 8th of July, 1892, for treatment at your Inst.i.tution, with but little faith or hope of ever being any better. But through your skillful treatment I was able to return to my home on the 9th of August, 1892, and consider myself permanently cured, having had to take no medicine since. Considering my case _almost a miracle_, I cannot speak too highly of your Inst.i.tute and skillful treatment, to which I feel that I am indebted for my continued existence. You are at liberty to refer to me, and to use this as you see fit.
