etermined to go
on. During five days, I was under treatment for the coming operation. On
the 18th of March the stone was crushed and extracted. It was a complete
success. Of the consideration, tenderness and skill of the surgeon and
his assistants, I cannot too strongly speak. Of the gentle and assiduous
nurses, the system and completeness of the whole establishment, as it
moved along as one harmonious whole, in all its departments, I cannot
sufficiently express my admiration. I am now relieved of a state of
torture, and restored to health and happiness equal to any period of my
life. This I say with sincerity and emphasis. Since then I have gained
twenty-two pounds in flesh. I wish my words could reach the ear of every
one similarly affected, throughout our land, to banish all doubts and
take advantage of the science, skill and pleasant surroundings so
happily blended in your Institution, for the removal of pain and the
mitigation of distress.

_Gentlemen_--I am glad to make public the wonderful cure that you
accomplished in my case. For ten years I was a sick man, and during
three years I suffered so much that life was a burden. My business had
to be given up and the torments were something that could not be
described. Every little while I had to urinate, and each time suffered a
spasm of pain, like a knife thrust; the use of a catheter was painful
and often it took long and painful trials before the water could be
drawn off. I passed blood, in quantities at times. When I went to your
place we had given up hope of a cure, and relief was all that I looked
for. My doctors at home discouraged me. I spent four weeks in your
Invalids' Hotel, and now at the age of sixty-seven years am sound and
hearty as any one, work from five in the morning until seven at night. I
manage a large and active business and enjoy life. I cannot express my
high praise of your Institution. Your doctors are skillful and the
nurses all kind and good. All understand their business and attend to
it. I came home a new man and cannot say enough for your praise, and to
express my thanks for the wonderful cure and comfort I have enjoyed.

Yours,
