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

At the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, in Buffalo. N Y, 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 and Surgeons at the
Invalids' Hotel have made radical cures
in over 5000 cases, and this without III
effects in any case. A remarkable record
Is this, when you 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
a bandage is worn for n 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 .
truss of any kind. Every man who has
suffered the agonies of a strangulated
hernia undoubtedly thought himself safe
rupture and the truss keep up II 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 iniiicting great injury,
and inducing Inflammation and strang,t-
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 a number of
people to whom they can write and verify
this statement A chronic disease which
may ba file the skill of the general practt-
tioner may yet be permanently cured by
the physician who has made one line OF
disease a speciality. 1t would be just as
absurd for professor in medical col
lege presuming 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 aao--wih II full staff Of Ply
sicians and Surgeons-who though edu-
Gated TO practice in all departments of
medicine are here assigned to special
department only-to which each special
ist devotcs 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 Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. has had such great success In cur
| ing kidney disease in its various phases.
The Physicians and Surgeons employed
in this completely equipped Sanitarium
alC dHiOuS tIc iuDNb p'lNllttu anu ShlIl-
| 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 corres-
| pondence or at this Institution, founded
| by DIR. r. V. Pierce many years ago. It's
old aIaua That rENnarianrn
| perfect and the skilled specialist In this
field OF practice cures thousands Of cases
| which have been abandoned as incurable
by general practitioners.
A chemical and microscopcal test OF
the water from the human body WIN tell
whether the kidneys are I'm 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 10 do is to send a sam
pie by express TO the lnva!ds' Hotel, at
the same time write n letter and you
will promptly receive the result Of the
analysis and this absolutely without
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 operations 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

both through correspondence and IT tjris
Institute. Every one consulting byAsttar
or In person receives the most careful assA
considerate attention. All communicA-
tions are treated as strictly confidential.
No charge whatever Is made for oo0-
sultation.
