m which I had suffered for twelve years, I take
pleasure in certifying to the speedy and certain relief afforded, and
the painless nature of the operation as performed by the surgeon of the
World's Dispensary Medical Association. Ten days from the time of the
operation, I returned home radically and permanently cured. I desire to
express my thanks to the medical staff for their skill and attention.

Gratefully yours,

VARICOCELE AND RESULTANT WEAKNESSES.

WASTING OF STRENGTH AND MANLY VIGOR--NOW STRONG AND WELL.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Illustration: Robert B. Wills, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I am unable to find words to express my feelings of
gratefulness and gratitude that I owe to your Institution, for the able
and gentlemanly treatment that I was favored with during my stay with
you, by officials and attendants in their respective capacities, in
every department. Nothing was left undone that could possibly be of
benefit to me or add to my comfort, and to your Institution, your
treatment, which in my own experience I have found to be marvelously
wonderful, I feel to-day as if I owe my health, my strength, my life;
for I firmly believe if it had not been for your timely and painless
treatment, instead of writing to you at this time, being in the
enjoyment of health and strength, I would be filling a place in an
insane asylum or an invalid's grave. And it may not be more than just to
your wonderful treatment to say that the Varicocele and resultant
weaknesses was of about fifteen years' standing, during which time I had
spent time and money with both physicians and quacks, without any result
for the better, and when my life blood was daily wasting away, and the
powers of manly strength and vigor were completely gone, by an act of
Providence I went to your Institution as a last resort, for life or
death. I was painlessly operated upon by you for my complaint, from
which time I have steadily improved in health, strength, weight and
vigor, until I have gone from 135 pounds, my weight when operated upon,
to 174, at which I tip the balance as I write to you to-day. If the
afflicted everywhere could only realize that so many lives may be spared
by your wonderful treatment, none would stay away.

You are at liberty to give my testimony to the world in whatever way it
may be of most benefit to you. I also enclose a photograph
