PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S

ENDORSEMENT OF THE

Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute

AND ITS FOUNDER.

The following letter from an eminent lawyer of Tennessee, is noteworthy, inasmuch as it shows the estimation in which Dr. Pierce and the institutions which he has founded were held by the lamented Garfield, who was one of the Doctor's intimate friends and colleagues while he was serving as a member of Congress:

OFFICE OF H.F. COLEMAN,
ATTORNEY AT LAW,
SNEEDVILLE, TENN., Aug. 11, 1884

World's Dispensary Medical Association, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y.

GENTLEMEN:—Your letter of the 31st ult. just received and contents noted. I am perfectly satisfied with the explanation, and ask pardon for the sharp letter written you some days since. The mails are very irregular, as you know, and we are too apt to be impatient and attribute our mishaps to the wrong cause. Your honesty, integrity and ability are not doubted in the least by me.
