ife miserable. Physicians at
home gave up my case as hopeless, and said that they did not think I
could be benefited, and certainly not cured. I visited your Institution,
hoping to obtain relief, but with very little faith, and am happy to say
that the treatment which I obtained there has resulted in a permanent
cure of the piles, and the inflammation of the bladder has been so
greatly relieved that at present I have no suffering of any kind. The
cure is complete and I feel like a new person. In fact I have not
experienced such comfort in many years. I shall always appreciate the
kindness and attention shown me by your staff of physicians, and also by
the nurses in your Institution, and shall advise my afflicted friends to
make you a visit.

Very respectfully,

PILE TUMORS.

[Illustration: S.H. Crosby, Esq. ]

Since the spring of 1872, I have been troubled with pains in head, the
result of sun-stroke while in the U.S. army, and pile tumor growth. For
the last named disease I was treated at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, in June of 1887, and the growth, as I believe, is killed, and
the result has been a great benefit to my general health. I am quite
comfortable and with strength to look after my little work and
superintend the same, much better than before treatment, for which
benefit please accept my thanks.

Yours respectfully,
S.H. CROSBY,

_Gentlemen_--I received a few days ago a communication from you
requesting a photo, of myself. I will say that I am sorry, but I have
had no photograph of myself taken since I was a child, but will gladly
give you a testimonial and I will answer by letter any skeptical ones
that you refer to me, provided they send a return addressed and stamped
envelope for reply.

Just one year ago, I was suffering untold agonies from internal piles
and prolapsus of the rectum: my bodily pain was so great that the mental
strain was almost more than I could stand. I was useless to myself and
family and had about persuaded myself it would be better to take my
life, and I think I should have done so had not a copy of the Common

just what my trouble was, at leas
