_Gentlemen_--In the Autumn of '88, I had an ovary removed at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. The operation was performed with consummate skill. The Hotel is first-class in every respect, being at once a Christian Hospital and Home. The skill of man, as exercised there, seems all that God designed it to be.
I cheerfully add my testimonial as I consider the Institution first class in every respect.
Yours truly, MRS. ELLEN F. TANNER, Leavenworth, Kans.

_Gentlemen_--There is no endorsement that the faculty of your Institute could ask that I would not willingly give. I fully realize that I owe not only my good health, but my life to the wonderful treatment received at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and would earnestly recommend any person needing the best medical or surgical attention to go for relief and cure to your Institution at Buffalo, N.Y. Words are inadequate to express the gratitude I owe you in so successfully treating my case.
Very truly yours, Mrs. C.B. SLEEPER.

OVARIAN TUMOR MADE UP OF SMALL CYSTS (MULTILOCULAR).
[Illustration: Mrs. Crissman.]
It grew to enormous size in but five months. The patient, a young unmarried woman, left home expecting to die. She had several physicians.
None of them could give her any definite information as to the nature of the growth or other than unfavorable expectations as to its probable effects.
It was successfully removed. The patient being able to be up and around in about two weeks with no unfavorable symptoms. Cure perfect. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
_My Dear Doctors_--Many months have passed since I have written you concerning my health. I have remained perfectly well, and, in fact, my health was never better than since the tumor was removed.
You will remember my case: The tumor had only grown about five months, but it was of immense size, and I had despaired of life, and my family thought that I would not return alive from your Institution. Your skillful operation and removal of the tumor, which weighed over thirty pounds, with the kind nursing and good attention given me afterwards, brought me through sound and well. To you I feel that I owe all thanks.
My prayer is for the success of the World's Dispensary Medical Association. You saved my life after I had given up all hope. The kind care that all gave me was something that could not be paid for with money. It was like being at home. I send you my picture, which will give you some idea of the change for the better in my looks. I am now married and am very happy.
Very respectfully, MRS. P.S. CRISSMAN.

_Gentlemen_--I am pleased to inform you that I have had no trouble since the removal of the tumor five years ago--that my general health is perfectly restored, and I grow stronger and stronger. And since that time I have two boys, healthy, and growing as strong as can be, and I feel very well satisfied with the care of the good and faithful nurses and physicians.
I cheerfully and truthfully recommend the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute to all afflicted as I was with tumors, or any chronic disease.
I send you my picture which will give you some idea of the change for the better in my looks.
Accept the grateful thanks of my husband and myself for your good care and great kindness to me during my stay at your hotel and our wishes for your best success. Respectfully,
MRS. J. NESTOR ORTIZ, Ortiz, Conejos Co., Colo.
FIBROUS TUMOR.
WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:
[Illustration: Mrs. Dean.]
_My Dear Doctors_--My husband had to carry me into your place but in thirty days I walked out of the Invalids' Hotel sound and well. The tumor that caused my sufferings had gradually developed during a period of several years. The trouble induced an inflammation of the bladder and I had to endure that torment in addition. There were times when I could not touch my feet to the floor. Walking was an agony that I could hardly bear. I faithfully tried good physicians and the various remedies and treatments that were recommended to me without any satisfactory relief.
So I made up my mind to go to your institution. I am now very thankful.
Every one I met with in your place seemed to help me to get well.
You have got not only the most skillful physicians and nurses but they are also the kindest and most agreeable that I have ever met. Your hotel is comfortable, home-like and perfectly clean.
The treatment was wonderfully successful in my case. The removal of the tumor was accomplished without pain. I can highly endorse local anesthesia instead of using chloroform or ether. My recovery was rapid and I continue in good health and think of you all with thanks and good wishes.
Very truly yours, MRS. ADELAIDE DEAN, 246 Garden Street, Lockport, N.Y.
FIBROID TUMOR OF THE UTERUS
INVOLVING BOTH BODY AND NECK OF THE WOMB.
[Illustration: Mrs. Johnson.]
The tumor was of many years' standing; had grown within a few months till it was about the size of a child's head.
From anxiety and worry, the patient had grown nervous and generally miserable. It was successfully removed by electrolysis, no knife nor other cutting instrument being employed. In ten days the patient was able to be about and to return home.

I am constantly sounding your praise among my friends, and know that I can never speak of you in too high terms. I once despaired of ever feeling well,--to-day, I am jolly and like another being. May you long be spared to minster to the afflicted.
Very respectfully, MRS. HANNAH JOHNSON.
