P.S.—You removed a stone that weighed over 1200 grains from my bladder, without cutting. The operation gave me complete relief. While there and since, I have seen a great many skillful cures done by you.

Case 620,610. STONE IN BLADDER—WEIGHT 530 GRAINS—SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED WITHOUT CUTTING. NEIGHBORS TOLD HIM HE WOULD BE "BROUGHT HOME IN A BOX."
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION:
Gentlemen—Seeing the picture of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in our local newspapers, called to my mind the treatment I received there in 1887. I had been suffering for ten or twelve years with bladder trouble, and our home physicians did not seem to understand the cause or the trouble, and I finally corresponded with your faculty, and their advice was to come and have an examination. I had been a great sufferer and was so weak that I could hardly walk from the hotel to the depot, and those who saw me start said that I would be brought home in a box. Soon after my arrival an examination revealed a stone in my bladder. After a few days' treatment to strengthen up the system, the stone was taken out, weighing 530 grains. Four or five others were afterwards taken out of smaller size, and I am still alive. Will soon be seventy-six years old, and I cannot speak too highly of the care and attention I received from the physicians and nurses while there. Everything that was provided was of the best; good food, glean apartments; and no better place can be found for treatment of the many diseases they advertise to cure.
Anyone suffering from bladder or kindred trouble can find relief at the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y.
Respectfully,
C.A. CHURCH,
New Berlin, N.Y.
Case 620,258. STONE IN THE BLADDER—GREAT SUFFERING FOR YEARS—HEART-FELT GRATITUDE.
