My Dear Doctors—My husband had to carry me into your place but in thirty days I walked out of the Invalids' Hotel sound and well. The tumor that caused my sufferings had gradually developed during a period of several years. The trouble induced an inflammation of the bladder and I had to endure that torment in addition. There were times when I could not touch my feet to the floor. Walking was an agony that I could hardly bear. I faithfully tried good physicians and the various remedies and treatments that were recommended to me without any satisfactory relief. So I made up my mind to go to your institution. I am now very thankful. Every one I met with in your place seemed to help me to get well.
You have got not only the most skillful physicians and nurses but they are also the kindest and most agreeable that I have ever met. Your hotel is comfortable, home-like and perfectly clean.
The treatment was wonderfully successful in my case. The removal of the tumor was accomplished without pain. I can highly endorse local anesthesia instead of using chloroform or ether. My recovery was rapid and I continue in good health and think of you all with thanks and good wishes.
Very truly yours,
MRS. ADELAIDE DEAN,

FIBROID TUMOR OF THE UTERUS
Involving Both Body and Neck of the Womb.
The tumor was of many years' standing; had grown within a few months till it was about the size of a child's head.
From anxiety and worry, the patient had grown nervous and generally miserable. It was successfully removed by electrolysis, no knife nor other cutting instrument being employed. In ten days the patient was able to be about and to return home.
