I remained a little longer, as I was
advised to do by the doctor who attended me, I should have fully
recovered. I was so nearly cured that I did not think it necessary to
remain longer, as I supposed nature would do for me what remained to be
done, to effect a perfect cure. My business was urgent. I could not well
remain longer. In this I made a mistake, I should have remained longer.
I was seventy-two years old at the time. I bear willing testimony to the
ability of the medical staff and the interest the doctors take in the
welfare of their patients. The nurses and all the subordinates were very
kind and seemed to vie with each other to contribute to the pleasure and
happiness of the inmates of the Institute. One will find the Institute
equipped with all the improvements known to modern science, for the
promotion and restoration of health. It is impossible to do justice to
its merits in a short article of this kind. Persons must go there and
see and judge for themselves, of the wonders of this extraordinary
medical establishment. If they cannot recover their health there, in my
Judgment, it is of no use to go elsewhere.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION:

_Gentlemen_--Yours of July 12th to hand. I am only too glad to comply
with your request. Having suffered for many years with a complication of
diseases and feeling conscious that they were rapidly making serious
inroads upon my constitution, and that I was speedily becoming unable
and incapacitated to attend to my ordinary business. I resolved, after
reading a number of testimonials from your patients, to place myself
under your treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. With
heart-felt gratitude I can truthfully say I am relieved of my trouble. I
most cheerfully and earnestly recommend this Institution to all who are
afflicted with chronic and painful diseases, no matter of what nature.
During my stay there I saw some wonderful cures and surgical operations.

Yours truly,
JOHN H. SMITH,
Deckertown, Sussex Co., N.J.
