neral health is
perfectly restored, and I grow stronger and stronger. And since that
time I have two boys, healthy, and growing as strong as can be, and I
feel very well satisfied with the care of the good and faithful nurses
and physicians.

I cheerfully and truthfully recommend the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute to all afflicted as I was with tumors, or any chronic disease.
I send you my picture which will give you some idea of the change for
the better in my looks.

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 our wishes for
your best success. Respectfully,

FIBROUS TUMOR.

_My Dear Doctors_--My husband had to carry me into your place but in
thirty days I walked out of the Invalids' Hotel sound and well. The
tumor that caused my sufferings had gradually developed during a period
of several years. The trouble induced an inflammation of the bladder and
I had to endure that torment in addition. There were times when I could
not touch my feet to the floor. Walking was an agony that I could hardly
bear. I faithfully tried good physicians and the various remedies and
treatments that were recommended to me without any satisfactory relief.
So I made up my mind to go to your institution. I am now very thankful.
Every one I met with in your place seemed to help me to get well.

You have got not only the most skillful physicians and nurses but they
are also the kindest and most agreeable that I have ever met. Your hotel
is comfortable, home-like and perfectly clean.

The treatment was wonderfully successful in my case. The removal of the
tumor was accomplished without pain. I can highly endorse local
anesthesia instead of using chloroform or ether. My recovery was rapid
and I continue in good health and think of you all with thanks and good
wishes.

Very truly yours,
MRS. ADELAIDE DEAN,
