orm, ether or any dangerous anaesthetic. Under the
skillful treatment of your specialists and the very close and kind
attention of your nurses, in less than a month, I left the Institution
feeling like a new man. I have every reason to believe that the Hernia
will never return, and that I am permanently cured. It it a great relief
to go without a truss.

THROW AWAY TRUSSES.

_Gentlemen_--I am an engineer--running an engine on the Western Division
of the Fitchburg Railroad. I had a severe case of double Hernia; still,
have always worked along with them until this winter. One side was of
twenty-five years' standing--the other of about eight years. This winter
I was laid up sick with pneumonia; in coughing so much, which of course
was made necessary by that terrible disease, I strained myself so that
after getting up from my sick-bed, I was not able to go to work, as I
could get no truss that would hold the rupture. I was talking with
Brother Stagg one day. He asked me "why I did not go to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.Y., and get cured?" I went,
and in three weeks was cured, so that I could dispose of my truss
entirely.

I wish to say this comes from me direct; it was my own proposition that
this letter be made public.

Yours respectfully,
F.S. AUCHENPAUGH,

RUPTURE FROM BOYHOOD.

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

[Illustration: A. Sauvain, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I am glad to say that I was cured at the World's Dispensary
Medical Association after suffering from boyhood until the age of
twenty-five from a hernia, or rupture, by a treatment of twenty days. It
is now five years since I was cured, and can say that I was permanently
cured. You have my most sincere gratitude for your skillful operation
and the good care received in your Institution while there. I can
recommend your nurses and physicians most highly, and I think your
Institution unequaled in this country.

Yours truly,
ALBERT SAUVAIN,
Silverton, Marion Co., Oreg.
