the wonderful cures you have performed for me.

[Illustration: D. Hartley, Esq.]

In the year 1883, I became ruptured on the _left_ side. I immediately
wrote you (having heard of your fame in curing all kinds of diseases)
for your terms of treatment which I received by return mail, you also
stating you were positive you could cure me. Through unavoidable
circumstances I was unable to come to your Institution until December,
1886. During this time I had tried wearing a truss, which only made it
worse, and very much aggravated my complaint as it was impossible to
hold the rupture in its place. However I arrived at the Invalids' Hotel
on December 8th, 1886. On being examined by one of your staff, I was
pronounced a bad case, but by your mode of treatment you could cure it.
I was therefore, operated upon by one of your specialists, without any
cutting however and comparatively little pain, by your scientific
method, and in thirty days returned home cured. The time I had to remain
there, I believe, was much longer than most persons treated for the same
complaint.

Since then I have worked very hard sometimes (my occupation being that
of a farmer,) so much so that I became ruptured on the _right_ side
three years ago,--the other side remaining perfectly sound without any
protection. I considered myself very unfortunate in being in this
position again, fortunate in knowing where to go for relief, and very
soon was back in your Institution where I was successfully treated and
perfectly cured and am to-day a sound man and able to do any kind of
work on my farm.

I write this testimonial for the sake of suffering humanity, and wish
you to use it in any way that the greatest number of persons may read
it. As for myself, I would not be in the condition I once was and not
know of your Institution for all I could see. I not only recommend your
Institution for the complaint of which I was cured but for all chronic
diseases or anything requiring a skillful surgical operation, believing
your Staff of Physicians and Surgeons to be second to none anywhere.
Your nurses and attendants, and every accommodation, also, being all
that is necessary to make your Institution everything that its name
implies--a complete Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute.

Respectfully yours,
DAVID HARTLEY,
P.O. Box 84, Wyoming, Out.

P.S.--I have also received much benefit from taking your "Golden Medical
Discovery" for dyspepsia and liver
