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

AT the Invaltds' Hotel ana surgical In
stItute, In Buffalo, N. ", for the past ten
years have been performed the most won
derful cures OF rupture and false rupture
and with greater uniform success than at
any other hospital in the country. The
STAFF OF Physicians aud Surgeons at the
Invalids' Hotel have made radical cures
In over 5000 eases, and this without i'll
effects In any case. A remarkable record
is this, when you consider that with very
few exceptions patients are able to be ont
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
u bandage Is worn for a month or so, until
all swelling has disappeared, after which
time the bandage. or truss may be per-
manently removed.
There is no safety In depending upon a
truss Of any kind. Every man who has
suffered the agonies OF strangulated
hernia undoubtedly thought himself safe
until the very honr 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 inficting great injury,
and inducing infiammat ton and strangu-
latiOn from which many die annually.
III 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 a number of
people to whom they can write and verify
this statement A chronic disease which
may ailie the skill OF the general practi-
toner may yet be permanently cured by
the physician who has made one line of
disease a speciality. 1t would he Just as
absurd for professor in n medical coll
lego prcsnming to lecture on all subjects
as for the one physician to presume to
understand the nature and cure OF every
disease.
That is why DIR. R.V. Pierce established
the Invalids' Hotel aud Surgical Institute
many years aaD-wIth n full staif OF Phy-
sicians and Surgcons-who though edu..
Gated to practice in all departments OF
medicine are here assigned to special
department only-to which each special
ist devotes his entire time, study and
attention.
There are over one hundred diseases Of
the kidneys. Each disease requires spec
ial treatment, diet and hygiene. No one
remedy can cure all these various dis
eases. Each case demands particular
treatment, and that Is why the Invallds'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. V, has had such great success In cur.
ing kidney disease in its various phases.
The Physicians and Surgeons employed
are among the most experienced and skill
full in the country, men who have made
these diseases their life study, and whose
highest ambition is to excel in their treat
ment. How well they have succeeded
may be Judged from the fact that their
practice embraces cases from every state
and territory of the Union, as well as
from foreign lands. Many thousands are
annually treated either through cores
pondence or at this Institution, founded
an old adagc that Experience makes
perfect and the skilled specialist in this
Held of practice cures thousands of cases
which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
A chemical and microscopical test of
the water from the human body Will tell
whether the kidneys are in good health
or not. These tests of health are con-
Quoted by expert physicians and chem
lists every day at this Institution. Such
examinations are made without charge.
All YOU have to do is to send sam
pie by express to the Invalids' Hotel, at
the same time write a letter and you
will promptly receive the result of the
analysis and this absolutely lottl,Oit
charge.
This remedial home as established by
DIR. Pierce is supplied with every known
apparatus and means OF cure, for its aim
Is to avoid surgical opera tlons whenever
possible.
Great care is exercised not to over en-
courage those who consult the specialists
of this institution that no false hopes
may be raised.
Many thousands are annually treated
both through correspondence and at this
Institute. Every one consulting by letter
or in person receives the most careful and
consIderate attention. All communica-
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever is made for con-
sultation.
