A New Cure
For Rupture.
Without The Use of Trusses.

At the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stltute, in Buffalo, n. v. for the past ten
years have been performed the most won
derful cures of rupture and false rupture
and with greater uniform success than ut
any other hospital in the country. Tho
staff of Physicians and Surgeons at the
lnyalids' Hotel have made radical cures
in over 5000 eases, and this without III
effects in any case. A remarkable record
Is this, when yon consider that with very
few exceptions patients are able to be out
of bed the day following treatment and
have since remained cured. The treat
ment is painless and safe Neither ether
nor chloroform is used. The average
case requires but ten days stay in the
Institution. After leaving the Institute
bandage is worn for month or so, until
all swelling has disappeared, after which
time the banda9o or truss may be per-
mancntfy removed.
There is no safety in depending upon
truss of any kind. Every man who has
suffered the agonies Of a strangulated
hernia undoubtedly thought himself safe
until the very hour OF death. Both the
rupture and the truss keep up a mental
strain, and induce nervous debility and
various organic weaknesses OF the kid
neys, bladder and associate organs. There
is no longer any need of wearing these
clumsy. awkward, chaiing old trusses
that at best. give only partial relief, but
never cure; often inflicting great injury,
and inducing Inflammation and strangu
lation from which many die annually.
If any one should doubt the above
statement. they have only TO write the
Institute, and they will receive a pam
phlet. giving the names OF number OF
people to whom they can write and verify
this statement. A chronic disease which
may battle the skill Of the general practi-
toner may yet be permanently cured by
the physician who has made one line OF
disease u specially. Ii would be Just as
absurd for professor in medical col
lege prcsuming to lecture on all subjects
as for the one physician TO presume to
understand the nature and cure OF every
disease
That is why Dr. R.V. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
many years ago-wtli full stall OF Ply
sicians and Surgeons-who though edu-
Gated to practice in all departments of
medicine are here assigned to Il special
department only--to which each special
ist deyotes his entire time, study and
attention.
There are over one hundred diseases of
the kidneys. Each disease requires spec
lal treatment, diet and hygiene. No one
remedy can cure all these various dis
eases. Each case demands particular
treatment, and that Il why the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n y, has had such great success in eur.
ing kidney disease in its various phases.

A chemical and microscopical test OF
