The operation which was performed on me at your Institution for the
permanent cure of varicocele was, to my great surprise, entirely
painless and performed in a much briefer time than I expected. I only
remained at your noble Institution ten days after the operation, at the
end of which time I returned to my home at Chatham Hill, Smyth Co., Va.
When I got home I experienced very little soreness from the operation
and I felt that I could enjoy life fully. About six months after, I got
married and came to Utah where I now reside, and I am very much pleased
to say that I am now as sound and well as ever, and very happy in my
married state.

When I went to your Institution I was surprised to see such a great
number of young men from almost every State in the Union, who had come
there to be operated upon for varicocele; and they all told me that the
operation was painless to them, as it also was to me, and they said they
were fast improving and were glad they had come there for treatment. I
never experienced such great and unprecedented kindness as I did during
the ten days I was at the "Invalids' Hotel." I had an excellent
room--well furnished, plenty to eat, and was treated with the kindness
of a mother by the nurses and attending physician.

I advise all who are afflicted with varicocele to go to your Institution
at once for an operation, which I assure them they will never regret.
Trusting that those who require an operation of any kind, or who are
afflicted in any way, may go to your Institution and be restored to
health, and again thanking you for my restoration to health and YOUR
great kindness and good treatment of me while I was with you, I remain,

Yours very truly,
William F. Petts

_Gentlemen_--It is with great pleasure I recommend those suffering from
varicocele to your skillful hands. I suffered with varicocele for seven
years, caused by standing behind the counter at business from seven in
the morning until ten and twelve o'clock at night.

In 1888 a friend gave me a copy of your Common Sense Medical Adviser.
After perusing its pages I was convinced of the genuineness of its
doctrine. I immediately started for Buffalo--a distance of 1,900 miles.
During my stay of ten days at your Institution I was treated with the
