in the military
service of the United States, I contracted kidney and bladder disease,
which shortly afterwards resulted in the formation of a calculus or
stone. I experimented with medicines. Special Prescriptions, etc., from
some of the most eminent physicians in the world, in fact everything
that promised relief and help for my kidneys was used, but received no
relief, until the bladder discomfort became unendurable. As a last
resort, knowing full well that life with me would be very short unless I
could receive immediate relief, I went to your famous Institute, where I
was treated and operated upon and a large stone was removed from the
bladder. The old method of cutting, which is so dangerous, was not
employed, but the new and painless process of crushing; this process was
an agreeable surprise to me, no pain and no risk, as in the old method
of cutting. From the day of the operation I began to improve, and in a
few weeks thereafter I returned home to my wife, family and friends, a
well and happy man, and I have spent the last five years with ease,
comfort and pleasure--a living, walking testimonial for your renowned
Institute. Believe me, when I say that words fail me to express to you
my sincere gratitude for your marvelous and almost miraculous cure
effected in my case. I feel sure no invalid could receive more skillful
and kindly attention anywhere in the world. I would urge every sufferer
to take treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
believing it to be the most skillful, and feel sure that it is the most
advanced of the age.

Sincerely and gratefully yours,

From severe exposure when in the army, I brought upon myself an acute
attack of rheumatism, from which I suffered terrible pain. Following
this I began to be troubled with my bladder and kidneys. For three years
I experienced considerable discomfort. There was severe burning and
scalding, and urination caused much pain. I passed two pieces of gravel
and became convinced that I had stone in the bladder. Was examined by my
home physician, who said there was no stone. I was not satisfied,
however, and went to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. I was
examined by their specialist. After an injection of cocaine and
