ome. I am feeling better than I have for two or three years. I
cheerfully and truthfully recommend the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute to all afflicted as I was--with tumors, or any chronic
disease. The rooms are large and pleasant, the best of food is served,
and everything possible is done by the physicians, nurses, and
attendants connected with the Institution, to render the visits of the
afflicted pleasant and desirable.

Accept the grateful thanks of my husband and myself for your good care
and great kindness to me during my stay at your Hotel, and I wish you
all great success.

Very respectfully,
MRS. ELISHA MATSON,

_Gentlemen_--The _least_ return one can render for an invaluable
service, the saving of a life, is an acknowledgment of the same. Mine
was a long-standing, stubborn, constitutional difficulty; chronic, and
defying _all_ previous treatment. Under the care of the doctors of the
elegantly appointed Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute the disease
yielded. Could I persuade some of my fashionable friends to spend a
summer or winter at Dr. Pierce's rather than at "resorts" more or less
unsuited to weary or sick people, there might rise up an improved
generation. The electrical appliances at the Invalids' Hotel are
probably the finest in the world. With them the administration of
electricity for the absorption and removal of all abnormal growths,
especially in my sex, is an _assured science_, and no experiment. I
cordially commend all my fellow sufferers to the tender care of the
Invalids' Hotel.

Yours very respectfully,

_Gentlemen_--It is with pleasure that I can testify to the skillful
treatment received at the hands of your surgeon specialists. I had been
given up to die, with an abdominal tumor and abscess. My case was not
understood, before coming to you. Although operated upon twice
unsuccessfully by others, my life was despaired of. I am happy to state
that after a few weeks' stay in your Institution, with a skillful
operation which owing to my
