medical aid I could get in the section
where I was living. I also used for some time (with no benefit),
"Warner's Safe Cure," and in fact, tried every means that I could hear
of, but to no permanent relief. Such was my condition when I was led
finally to consult and be treated by your Association, though I had but
faint hope of obtaining any relief from any one. With the very best
description I could give in writing of my case, and all the information
you got from me, you would not undertake the case until you were further
informed, and for which caution I sincerely thank you. You wrote me--"we
are at a loss to definitely determine your condition. We have an opinion
based upon the facts before us, but we feel that we must have a personal
examination." In the condition I was then in, I could not have been kept
alive to reach the first railroad station, which was only six miles from
my house, and much less to travel to Buffalo. Indeed I wrote you, that
if you would cure me for nothing, I was unable to go to you. In reply,
you then advised me to take your "Special Remedies" until I could
improve sufficiently to go to Buffalo for examination. Now this frank
answer of yours, removed every doubt from my mind, and convinced me that
you were _honorable physicians_. On March 10th, 1883, I began taking
your "Special Remedies," as you prescribed them, and at the end of three
years' constant treatment, I was improved sufficiently to go to Buffalo
to your Institute, where I was examined as you required of me. When I
reached your Institute, I was there carefully examined and received a
month's treatment. When I reflect on my condition and my suffering when
I first began to use your specifics, and see what I am now, I feel that
no words can too glowingly express my gratitude to your Association for
the physical benefits you have conferred upon me by your treatment of my
despaired-of case.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--I have taken treatment from you for several months for
nervous debility, and although I am not quite fully cured as yet, I have
been greatly benefited, and believe, if I had come to you before I was
duped and swindled by different quacks and was more dead than alive, I
would to-day be a thoroughly well man.

I have also been to your Ins
