of Bernard von Langenbeck,
professor of surgery in the University of Berlin, where I was a student.
He is just as tender and sympathetic with his patients as that famous
director of the Prussian Royal Clinical Hospital has been. As to the
medicines of Dr. Pierce, I recommended them to members of my
congregation, who told me that they did them good. Dr. Bastian, of
Dansville, N.Y., a druggist, told me that your medicines are bought by
the same persons again and again. I consider this to be the best
recommendation. A medicine which is of no effect will not be bought a
second time by the same person.

Yours, REV. RICHARD KRAUSE, Portway, N.Y.

Mrs. Mary Krause, the mother of the little boy whose case is above
reported, writes: "In respect to your medicines I can only say that they
have done me and others much good, especially when I suffered with
chronic catarrh and doctored with your physicians. I shall never forget
the kind treatment I received from your physicians and nurses during the
time I had to stay in your house, while our Herman had to go through
that dangerous operation which was necessary to cure his strangulated
rupture. I can recommend your Institute and medicines to all suffering
people."

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

_Dear Sirs_--In reply to yours of the 29th ult., in which you kindly
make inquiry in regard to my physical condition, I would say, that I am
now, I think, as sound as a dollar, and consider that after I had bad
fourteen years of suffering with Hernia, and being cured as I was last
winter at your Institute, makes me under great obligations to the
science and skill of the World's Dispensary Medical Association.

Very respectfully yours,
ROBERT GALLAND,
Orangeville Mills, Barry Co., Mich.

IRREDUCIBLE HERNIA.

_Gentlemen_--I take pleasure in reporting that I have not worn the truss
for a long period, and that I have been at work steadily at my business
of binding and printing, running a large establishment, for over four
years, without any trouble whatever from the rupture. It has remained
permanently and perfectly cured. You wil
