_Gentlemen_--For more than twelve years I have been a sufferer with a
complication of rectal troubles; pile tumors, prolapsus and fistula in
Ano. I have been under the treatment of our most skilled practitioners,
by ligature, carbolic acid, constitutional treatment, change of climate
and the celebrated Brinkerhoff treatment, and also tried all of the
local guaranteed nostrums, from all of which I have been only
temporarily relieved. The old troubles would in a short time return, and
with seemingly renewed vigor. With fast failing health and terrible
nerve prostration, I left home the 1st day of October last, to take a
two weeks' trip, hoping for some temporary relief. On the trip I stopped
over at Buffalo, and having several years before been in correspondence
with the Infirmary, concluded to consult you. I did so with little hope
of a beneficial result. From the manner in which I was received and the
satisfactory diagnosis of my case, I placed myself under your treatment.
On the 16th day of October you operated upon me with such complete and
satisfactory success, that I am now a sound and happy man, and am
confident that had I been treated by you ten years ago that I would now
be twenty years younger in feeling and thousands of dollars better off.
It affords me pleasure, doctors, to recommend the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute to all of the afflicted, and to assure them of the
most skillful treatment, honest and polite attention, and with the
assurance of my kindest and most grateful remembrance,

I am, Yours truly,
N.T. ROBERTS, Pine Bluff, Ark.

RECTAL FISTULA.

_Gentlemen_--Having been a great sufferer for years and receiving little
or no benefit from other physicians, I determined to try your
Institution, and with grateful results.

Having a successful operation for a fistula (of five years' standing)
without the knife, while other home-physicians advised me there were no
other means. And my troubles are yielding slowly but surely; my general
health is better than for twelve years--all of which I owe to Dr.
Pierce, and his skillful physicians and surgeons.

Please accept my sincere thanks for the kindness shown me while an
inmate by all connected with the Invalids' Hotel. I shall heartily
recommend your Institution to all sufferers
