VARICOCELE-FALSE RUPTURE CAUSED BY INJURY.

_Gentlemen_--In the year 1866, sometime in July, I jumped from a load of
lumber to the ground, and at once felt a sharp severe pain along the
spermatic cord of left side of scrotum, preventing my walking to the
house without help. The veins near the cord filled to such extent that
they seemed solid, and could not be reduced for some time. I went to a
good doctor and by him was advised to "pay no attention to it, it will
not amount to much." From that time I suffered continually, and will not
try to describe what I endured until I was relieved by a surgical
operation performed on me by the surgeon-specialist of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N.Y. After working-hard for
several years my suffering increased and I was advised to consult Prof.
L., of Chicago Hahnemann College (of Homeopathic School) and by him was
informed an operation of tieing the veins (choking them off) could be
performed but 90 per cent (if I remember rightly) of the operations
proved fatal. I decided not to try it. By accident I learned of your
great skill, and though my case was of twenty-one years' time, and my
health and strength gone, I considered the method plausible and
reasonably safe. I had the operation performed, and now after six years
have passed, I can say with satisfaction, there is little to be noticed
or remind me of the past years of misery. The parts are of
healthy-color. Urine has assumed a natural appearance, both sides of
scrotum seem in size alike. No bandage is worn and for two years has
been discarded. My weight increased and for two years prior to the
taking of my photo, I did the work of handling a third-class post
office, doing a money order business of $50,000, not losing a day in
that time, and at the present time in this hot climate, I have been
doing outdoor work, some of it
