day. My two weeks' stay with you was worth thousands of dollars to me.
Will gladly answer any inquiry and would advise any one suffering from
hernia to take the radical cure.

RUPTURE, DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, AND KIDNEY DISEASE.

[Illustration: A.N. Kingsley, Esq.]

The following is from the widely-known and popular proprietor of the
Kingsley House at Ashuelot, N.H.: "It may seem useless to add testimony
to the overwhelming mass already given of the many remarkable cures
performed at your Institution, but I deem it a pleasure and a duty to
add mine to your long list as _very remarkable_. I had a rupture of
twenty-seven years' standing, with hemorrhage of the kidney for six
months, preceding my visit to your Institute, and was also troubled
badly with indigestion, all of which ailments had reduced me in strength
and flesh to a mere skeleton. Had been treated by many local physicians,
who failed to do me any good. I could walk but a very short distance
when I left my home on the 8th of July, 1892, for treatment at your
Institution, with but little faith or hope of ever being any better. But
through your skillful treatment I was able to return to my home on the
9th of August, 1892, and consider myself permanently cured, having had
to take no medicine since. Considering my case _almost a miracle_, I
cannot speak too highly of your Institute and skillful treatment, to
which I feel that I am indebted for my continued existence. You are at
liberty to refer to me, and to use this as you see fit.

Very respectfully,
A.N. KINGSLEY,
Ashuelot, Cheshire Co., N.H.

RUPTURE.

_Gentlemen_--About four years ago, when working on a scaffold it gave
way, and I fell a few feet and the strain and jar caused a rupture in
the right side. I did not pay very much attention to this until I
noticed that it was enlarging. It finally grew so that I could not work.
I used several kinds of trusses that did me no good.

I went to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and submitted to
an operation which was entirely painless and proved most satisfactory in
every respect. Since then I have been well and able to do hard work for
a man of my age (72). I feel no inconvenience from the rupture.
