[Illustration: W.H. Dellinger, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--Having been operated upon at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute for the radical cure of a bad varicocele, from which

your kindness and skill. And I would advise all persons, needing
surgical or medical treatment, to go to the World's Dispensary Medical
Association.

Respectfully yours,

have had no return of former trouble, it being now about two years since
the operation.

To any suffering with varicocele I must say, "don't delay, b
