care of his skilled doctors and nurses, I know would have most assuredly
got well. Why? Because it was only a case of _stone in the bladder_, and
they are easily cured at Dr. Pierce's Surgical Institute. I think almost
any chronic disease can be cured there, if taken in time, judging from
my observations while an inmate of that Institution.

_Gentlemen_--It is now about six months since I discontinued your
treatment, and as I have had no return of the old symptoms, I consider
it unnecessary to take more medicine. When I visited your Institution
some two years ago, I had but faint hopes of ever being restored to
health, as I was suffering from a complication of diseases. My case was
an unusually obstinate one, yet I am satisfied that a cure could have
been accomplished in half the time, had I been able to follow your
directions in regard to diet more closely. I hereby tender you my
sincerest thanks for the kind treatment received while at your
Institution. Those days will always be the happiest in my memory. I will
close by giving your faculty my sincere thanks, and hope success will
crown your business.

Yours very gratefully,
J.F. RITTER,

I would state that I am an architect, fifty-two years of age, that about
seventeen years ago I fell from a scaffold, a distance of eighteen feet,
across a beam, striking upon the perineum. A physician was immediately
called and I was treated by him for about eight or ten weeks. A catheter
was introduced into the bladder, but caused such intense pain and
anguish that it had to be withdrawn. It was tried again but could not be
introduced on account of the lacerations in the urethra, caused by the
violence used. A consultation was held and an operation recommended. An
anaesthetic was used and a cut made through the peri
