lly cleansing out the bladder, a stone was found about one inch
and a half in diameter, probably similar in its composition to the
pieces already passed. I was advised to have it operated upon and
removed, which I arranged to do. The process used was their new and
painless one of crushing, no knife or other cutting instrument being
employed. The stone was readily grasped by the crusher and reduced to
small fragments. The evacuator was then introduced and the stone
entirely removed. After a few weeks' careful attention my health was
entirely restored and I was able to leave for home. I take great
pleasure in making public my wonderful cure. I could not speak in too
high praise of those who took charge of my case, nor recommend too
highly this famous Institution. It is about three years since I was
operated on, and pave not felt any bad effects since.

CASE 820,539. GRAVEL OR STONE WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY AND BLADDER DISEASE.
CURED NINE YEARS AGO AFTER BEING GIVEN UP TO DIE.

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

[Illustration: Mr. O. Thompson.]

In 1884, at the age of fifty-four years. I was prostrated with Kidney
and Bladder complaint and told by the best physicians that I was but ten
days out of the grave. I applied to your Institute for help and received
treatment, and now after nearly nine years am in comparatively good
health. All this time I have been able to do much work and to oversee my
farm. Two stones or gravel were passed while under home treatment. No
further formations have developed. The many cases I have recommended to
you have all been more than satisfied with the results of their
treatment. I wish to thank you for the great benefit and care I received
at your hands.

Yours truly,

_To whom it may concern:_

This is to certify that I took treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., and I was cured of a chronic trouble
that had been maltreated by other physicians. While there I saw a man
who had been cured by the specialists, who had before been given up to
die by the best doctors in Troy, N.Y. Of course, the case must have been
a very stubborn one. I afterwards saw a man here, in Georgia, die, who,
if he had been in Pierce's Surgical Institute under the treatment
