ases, I at last consulted your specialist in that class of
diseases--was operated upon and returned home in ten days, a sound and
well man. I can recommend your Institution to all suffering humanity as
the most home-like, your nurses the most attentive and specialists the
most skillful the world can offer. May you long be the benefactors of
mankind."

Yours truly,

_Gentlemen_--The result of your operation, performed one year and a half
ago for a case of varicocele of twelve years' standing, and which had
troubled me very much, has cured me entirely. I am thankful to God that
He put it into my mind to visit your Surgical Institute. I cannot
recommend your skill too highly.

Yours truly,

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

_Gentlemen_--Having been operated upon at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., for the radical cure of a varicocele
on the left side from which I suffered four years, I take pleasure in
certifying to the speedy and certain relief afforded, and the painless
operation, as performed by the surgeon of the World's Dispensary Medical
Association. Ten days from the time of the operation I returned home
permanently cured.

I desire to express my thanks to the Medical Staff for their skill and
attention.

Gratefully yours,
Geo. O. Reid
