RUPTURE.

A GRATEFUL PATIENT'S WORDS OF PRAISE.

[Illustration: W. Henkel, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--Having been in your Institution as a sufferer from two
distinct chronic diseases of years' standing, and having been placed
under the charge of your specialists, I was speedily relieved of my
afflictions. The Invalids' Hotel is a place as much like home as it is
possible for such an institution to be. The physicians and surgeons are
all expert specialists and thoroughly efficient; the nurses are very
competent, attentive and kind; and, in fact, the whole _personnel_ of
the Invalids' Hotel endeavor to do their best to make the patients feel
like being at home. I always felt while there as if I was one of the
family. I gladly recommend your Institution to all persons who are
afflicted with any kind of chronic disease, for from my own experience I
_know_ the professional staff will do all which they promise to do.
Please accept my thanks for the speedy benefits and perfect cure of my
diseases, and I think your Institution is worthy of the highest
endorsement.

Yours truly,
WILLIAM HENKEL,
No. 1917 Congress Street,
St. Louis, Mo.

have existed since his birth. Even that small lump in the groin has, as
much as I can feel by touching, completely disappeared. I take this
opportunity of expressing my heart-felt thanks for the kind and
christian-like treatment my wife and boy experienced from you and the
nurses. God bless you and let you live long for the welfare of suffering
men. Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel of Buffalo, N.Y., deserves to be
recommended to every sufferer of whatever disease. Eight years ago I
underwent a successful operation, saving my body a member. The dangerous
outgrowth, which made the operation a necessity, never returned. In
regard to your specialist, I wish to remark, that his skillful way of
performing operations reminded me very much
