Every department was cleanliness itself, and kept at such an even temperature, even to the halls, that during my four months' stay, I never had the slightest cold. Not only the comforts of life, but every luxury that the most exacting could demand, were fully supplied. I saw many poor sufferers, from various diseases, made well and happy, and I too, with the other happy ones, found relief, and that without the use of the knife or an anæsthetic of any kind. I would urge all poor chronic sufferers, it matters not what the trouble may be, to go to Dr. Pierce's Institute and be cured. If any one similarly afflicted cares to know more of my case, I will gladly answer any questions, if she will only write me, and enclose addressed and stamped envelope in which to reply. During my stay at the Invalids' Hotel I never lacked for anything that willing hands and warm hearts could supply, and I came away feeling that I was leaving a sweet, luxurious home and many warm friends, but with a new lease of life and perfect confidence in the ability of the physicians, for I know I could not possibly have lived two months longer, had I not found relief. To-day I am well, rosy and happy, with a heart full of lasting gratitude for the kind treatment and cure which I received at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
Yours truly.

POLYPOID TUMOR OF UTERUS WEIGHING OVER FIVE POUNDS.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
Gentlemen—After many trials my doctors here had given up all efforts to cure me. A tumor that had existed almost from my childhood was gradually killing me. From frequent hemorrhages, I had become as pale and bloodless as a ghost, and so weak as to be scarcely able to stand or walk. Frequently the loss of blood was so great as to cause such long fainting spells that my family thought me past mortal help. How I lived to get to your place is yet a matter of wonder.
We appreciated the fact that in the skill of your surgeon lay my last and only hope. The result proved his abilities. The restoration of my health, when it was so generally and for so long despaired of, was miraculous, and I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude and thanks.
The comfort that was given by the kindly attention of your nurses is one of the very agreeable memories of your home-like and pleasant Institution. With much gratitude, I am,
Respectfully yours,
Miss ANNIE BOLIN, Leon, Kan.
