HERNIA AND PILES CURED WITHOUT PAIN.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.J. App, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--I have been successfully treated at your inst.i.tution for piles and also rupture of the left side.

Your inst.i.tution is all it claims to be, and the treatment of my case was accomplished without pain and apparently any risk. Your method of using locally cocaine as an anaesthetic is such a decided improvement. I did not have to take any dangerous ether or chloroform, but had a small quant.i.ty of medicine injected that made the operation as painless as though it was being done on some one else. At the same time I knew everything and could see what was being done.

You have my kindest thanks for the good care and many attentions given me. Your nurses and physicians all give kind and skillful care.

Yours very truly, J.J. APP, Bolivar, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio.

LARGE PILE TUMORS.

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.C. Bagley, Esq. ]

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--I was afflicted with piles for many years, brought on by heavy lifting during the war. My suffering was extreme, and the pile tumors gradually increased in size, notwithstanding the fact that I tried many different kinds of treatment. After becoming physically incapacitated and unable to do any work at all, and after much hesitation, I visited your inst.i.tution as the last resort. I am happy to state that my visit there has resulted in a complete and permanent cure.

A year or more has now elapsed since I placed myself under the care of your specialist, and I wish to thank you most heartily, for the attention which I received while there, and for the cure which has been accomplished in my case. I cannot say enough in favor of you and your staff of physicians who gave every attention, and whose treatment has been so successful. All suffering has entirely vanished, and I have gained about 35 pounds in flesh.

Respectfully yours, J.C. BAGLEY, Watts Flats, Chaut. Co., N.Y.

LARGE PILE TUMORS; CHRONIC INFLAMMATION OF BLADDER.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: P. Crump, Esq. ]

I was troubled with piles for thirty years. These were very mild at first but gradually increased in severity, and I was unable to get anything which would relieve them. They gradually increased in size, and for a good many years past have caused me a great amount of pain. The tumors became of large size and protruded whenever I lifted anything heavy or strained in the least; also bled copiously at times. This, together with chronic inflammation of the bladder, with which I have also suffered for some years, rendered my life miserable. Physicians at home gave up my case as hopeless, and said that they did not think I could be benefited, and certainly not cured. I visited your Inst.i.tution, hoping to obtain relief, but with very little faith, and am happy to say that the treatment which I obtained there has resulted in a permanent cure of the piles, and the inflammation of the bladder has been so greatly relieved that at present I have no suffering of any kind. The cure is complete and I feel like a new person. In fact I have not experienced such comfort in many years. I shall always appreciate the kindness and attention shown me by your staff of physicians, and also by the nurses in your Inst.i.tution, and shall advise my afflicted friends to make you a visit.

Very respectfully, PETER CRUMP, Dennison, Goodhue Co., Minn.

PILE TUMORS.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: S.H. Crosby, Esq. ]

Since the spring of 1872, I have been troubled with pains in head, the result of sun-stroke while in the U.S. army, and pile tumor growth. For the last named disease I was treated at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inst.i.tute, in June of 1887, and the growth, as I believe, is killed, and the result has been a great benefit to my general health. I am quite comfortable and with strength to look after my little work and superintend the same, much better than before treatment, for which benefit please accept my thanks.

Yours respectfully, S.H. CROSBY, Manito, Mason Co., Ill.

BAD CASE OF PILES CURED BY HOME-TREATMENT.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--I received a few days ago a communication from you requesting a photo, of myself. I will say that I am sorry, but I have had no photograph of myself taken since I was a child, but will gladly give you a testimonial and I will answer by letter any skeptical ones that you refer to me, provided they send a return addressed and stamped envelope for reply.

Just one year ago, I was suffering untold agonies from internal piles and prolapsus of the r.e.c.t.u.m: my bodily pain was so great that the mental strain was almost more than I could stand. I was useless to myself and family and had about persuaded myself it would be better to take my life, and I think I should have done so had not a copy of the Common Sense Medical Adviser happened to fall into my hands. I was not certain just what my trouble was, at least what to call it. I began the Chapter treating on Pile Tumors, and then I realized just what my trouble was. I wrote you and received encouragement. I sent for a month's treatment and it was certainly the best investment I ever made. I received the medicines at noon--read the directions carefully and commenced at once to carry them out. I seemed better the next day. I suffered less, and in a few days there was a decided change for the better. I continued the medicine until I had taken all of it; I have not taken any since, except occasionally a few of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, just enough to act as a mild laxative. I am perfectly well. I was always more or less constipated all my life. I now understand that by keeping the bowels open and in good order, I could have avoided all of the suffering that I have gone through; my friends all think my recovery almost a miracle. I feel, Oh, so grateful to you, I shall never fail to speak a word in your favor to suffering humanity.

Respectfully, Mrs. J.W. Heist Fayette, Howard Co., Mo.

PILES AND CHRONIC DIARRHEA.

DR. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: J.J. Bradford, Esq. ]

_Dear Sir_--I was a great sufferer for thirty years from piles, and take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the fact, that since you treated me, seven years since, I _have not had a symptom of piles_.

At the above stated period I had also been a sufferer from diarrhea, in its most aggravating form, for three and a half years, and I was completely and radically cured of that, also.

I beg to a.s.sure you, and your n.o.ble a.s.sociates, of my lasting grat.i.tude, and feel no hesitancy in expressing the opinion that but for your great skill in treating me, I should have been in my grave. I state for the benefit of all those who may be similarly afflicted that if they will place themselves in your hands, you will goon effect radical cures.

JOHN J. BRADFORD, Augusta, Perry Co., Miss.

[Ill.u.s.tration: L.H. Esety, Esq.]

_Gentlemen_--Allow me to thank you for the kind attention and skillful treatment I received while at your Inst.i.tution for five weeks'

treatment. I cannot speak too favorably of your Inst.i.tution.

You have my best wishes for your continued success.

Respectfully yours, L.H. ESTEY, Hinsdale, Cheshire Co., N.H.

HEADACHE.

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

[Ill.u.s.tration: E. Vargason, Esq. ]

_Gentlemen_--I have used your medicines for a number of years, and know that they do for me all that is claimed for them. I am employed mostly at my desk, and not infrequently have an attack of the headache. It usually comes on in the forenoon. At my dinner I eat my regular meal, and take one or two of Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets immediately after, and in the course of an hour my headache is cured and no bad effects. I feel better every way for having taken them--not worse, as is usual after taking other kinds of pills. Your "Pleasant Pellets" are worth more than their weight in gold, if for nothing else than to cure headache.

Very respectfully, E. VARGASON, Otter Lake, Lapeer Co., Mich.
