Nearly every reader who peruses this article has
general idea of the nature and scope of the work
OF the National Surgical Institute
The founders of this great national institution
have kept in view their original design the latest,
best and most scientific treatment of deiormies OF
the Face, Nose. Limbs, Feet and Spine, Paralysis,
Rheumatism, Female Diseases, Piles, Fstula, Male
Diseases, Tumors, Scrofula Chronic Diseases, etc.
Recognizing the necessity of having absolutely per-
feet apparatus and machinery. one of their special
features is a workshop in which highly skilled
mechanics arc kept constantly at work manulac-
turing the various instruments used, including
surgieomechanical appliances, apparatus and
varied and multiplied instrumentalitcs for the
movements and exercise OF the patients, designed
by the managers TO meet the necessities of each
special case, as developed In the numerous shapes
consequent upon varying temperaments, conditions
and circumstances.
So complete are the equipments of the institute,
and so satisfactory have been its methods of treat
ment, that the best physicians of the country in
many difficult and peculiar cases recommend it to
their patients, and frequently accompany them
Indeed many physicians have themselves been
treated at the institute patient at this establish
ment is cheered at the very outset by the discovery
that he is not In hospital, but in home. Large,
airy rooms, clean, comfortable beds, the conyen-
fences OF II hotel, courteous attendants and every
facility for rest and recreation make the patient
forget, to great extent, the ills OF the flesh in the
enjoyment of pleasant associations and the assured
hope of speedy restoration to health.
The Institute has indorsers all over the coun-
try--Iom ocean to ocean, and If you will write for
testimonials they will be sent you Here is one in

afiliction and cure In addressing the institute he
says:
