uble. We can assure our patients that there is less risk
of the appearance of the rupture at the point where the operation is
performed than there is of a new breach forming. The success of this
treatment has been invariable. None of the plans of treatment that we
pursue for the cure of rupture tend to keep the patient in bed more than
a few hours. There is little or no pain, after either of our plans of
treatment, and out of the many hundreds which we have treated and
perfectly cured, in no instance have we had any inflammation or serious
manifestation--there being no fever or general reaction. It is a matter
of great surprise to our patients, who undergo our treatment for the
radical cure of rupture, that by our varied methods, the object is
accomplished with so little discomfort and with no pain whatever.

From two to three weeks' personal attention of our specialist, is
usually all that is required even in the worst cases.

NO TRUSS IS NEEDED AFTER OUR TREATMENT. WE CONSIDER A CASE CURED ONLY
WHEN THE PATIENT IS ABLE TO DO WITHOUT A TRUSS OR SUPPORT IN ALL THE
USUAL WALKS AND VOCATIONS OF LIFE.

TESTIMONIALS.

The testimonials that we append are but a small number out of the great
mass that we have received. A very large percentage of individuals who
have been treated by us for rupture desire that their disability be held
a matter of sacred confidence and with all such we take pleasure in
guarding their confidence with the greatest care. Others are quite
willing that their experience may be made public in this manner for the
benefit of similar sufferers.

If the following letters had been written by your best known and most
esteemed neighbors they could be no more worthy of your confidence than
they now are, coming, as they do, from well known, intelligent and
trustworthy citizens, who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the
fullest confidence and respect of all who know them.

_Gentlemen_--After suffering a number of years from a painful Rupture, I
went to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo. While
there, I submitted to an operation which was not painful. It was done
without chlorof
