l remember my case as a most
severe one. I am a man of sixty years of age, and the disease had been
the source of serious discomfort to me since childhood. The protrusion
was the size of a man's head, and could not be replaced. I was forced to
give up all exercise, and suffered much at my daily work from
inconvenience and pain. Any injury upon the protrusion, which could not
always be protected, was followed with much discomfort, and my general
health was seriously affected. The passage of the food through the
confined intestines was a painful process often times, and kept me in
great misery. I am thankful to state that since your operation the
rupture has remained sound and well, and I have been relieved of all
difficulty of the kind. I now enjoy excellent health, and am at my
business daily from twelve to sixteen hours, and on my feet constantly,
yet without any manifestations whatever of the re-appearance of the
rupture. You have my most sincere gratitude for the skillful operation
and the good care received in your Institution while there. I can
recommend your nurses and physicians most highly, and think your
Institution is unequaled in this country.

With many good wishes, I am,
Very truly yours, DANIEL NITSCHKE,

Without solicitude or hope of pecuniary reward, with heart-felt
gratitude and a desire to aid my fellow-man to health and happiness,
allow me to state, that as an inmate for more than a month of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo,
N.Y., I feel warranted in its highest recommendation. While there I saw
and talked with a great number of people who came there as a last
resort, to be cured of almost every chronic disease to which flesh is
heir, and they were unanimous in their praise of the Institution and the
skilled specialists who constitute its professional staff.

Surgical Institute, and am now entire
