tlemen_--Having been a patient in your Invalids' Hotel for several
weeks, I take great pleasure in telling other sufferers of my treatment
which I received under your efficient staff of physicians, surgeons and
nurses, and I will say with clear conscience that every care and comfort
was given me that could be wished for. I am sure that your Institution
is far in advance of the age, and would wish that every invalid could
avail himself of the treatment that I received in your most excellently
kept Invalids' Hotel. I cheerfully give this as my testimonial to
individuals, friends and sufferers. My health is so fully restored that
I look upon life with pleasure and comfort, whereas before I was a
suffering, nervous invalid, unable to sleep and much of the time in
torment. Wishing you success,

I am your friend and well wisher,

CASE 859,143. BLADDER, RECTAL, KIDNEY AND LIVER DISEASE. "ENTIRE URINARY

My disease was caused by the roughness and exposure incidental to the
life of a miner, working in the gold mines of California and Montana. I
had much of the time to work in water, with my clothes wet, which
finally brought on a severe pain In my kidney, which ere long completely
prostrated me. I employed and was treated by six different physicians,
the best I could obtain in my section of country, and who while seeming
to understand the nature of my disease, yet gave me no remedy that
afforded me any real relief. I grew worse under the treatment of them
all. The pain in the kidney left me, but immediately located in the
bladder. My bladder became very painful and commenced to ulcerate and
fill up. It seemed from the excruciating agony I suffered, that there
must have been an abscess in either the kidney or bladder, and from the
large amount of pus discharged at one time, it appeared to me that my
kidneys, bladder and the entire urinary organs were one mass of sores
and pus mixed with blood. I had to use injections of laudanum daily in
the lower bowels to ease the pain and live. Was reduced by long
suffering, looking for each day to be my last. I felt that no human
power on earth could help me. No language can describe, and God only
knows, the agony I suffered. From what I have already written, you may
form some faint conception of my physical condition at the end of six
years' treatment by the best
