_Gentlemen_--For several years I was troubled with catarrh and deafness of the right ear--the hearing becoming more and more defective until I could scarcely hear at all. There was a constant ringing, roaring noise in my ear, and finally the disease a.s.sumed a very painful form.

The ear became very sensitive to the touch, and the pain and inflammation extended into the eustachian tube and down into the throat.

I could scarcely sleep at night, and during the day I suffered constantly.

I finally decided to consult Dr. Pierce, and acting under his advice, I began the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" and Sage's Catarrh Remedy by means of Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche.

I soon began to improve and after using three bottles each of the above named remedies the pain and soreness left my ear, my hearing returned and I considered myself completely cured, and indeed there has been no recurrence of the trouble since.

Sincerely yours, T.J. WILLIAMS, Byrneville, Harrison Co., Ind.

ASTHMA AND CATARRH.

[Ill.u.s.tration: G. Berner, Esq.]

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--For some months I suffered from a shortness of breath and dryness in the throat which usually came on at night, and these symptoms gradually became aggravated until it was impossible for me to procure enough sleep so that I could perform my daily duties about the farm.

Deriving no relief from such treatment as I was taking I came to your Inst.i.tution, was examined by your specialist, who p.r.o.nounced my case asthma, complicated with nasal catarrh. After using the special medicines which he prepared for me for a few days I commenced to feel better, the shortness of breath gradually disappearing; the paroxysms of asthma were less frequent and not so severe.

After taking only two months' treatment I was completely restored to my previous good health, and for five months it has not been necessary for me to use any medicine, and I feel that I am perfectly well. I give you this testimonial in order that others who are similarly afflicted may know of your skill in treating cases of this nature, and seek relief from your Inst.i.tution.

Respectfully, GOTTLIEB BERNER, Cheektowaga, Erie Co., N.Y.

ASTHMA COMPLICATED WITH BRONCHITIS.

[Ill.u.s.tration: T.E. Stanton, Esq.]

WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL a.s.sOCIATION, Buffalo, N.Y.:

_Gentlemen_--It is five weeks to-day since I was at your place for medical treatment for a bronchial and asthmatic difficulty; it had got so bad that it was hard work for me to breathe if I moved around any; I have sat up many a night for when I laid down I could not get my breath.

I had six different doctors to aid me--all the good they did me was to get my money. Can say, of a truth, that you have done mo more good than all other doctors. One doctor said I would not live two years; that is four years ago and I am yet alive. I am sure I am now on the safe road to recovery with your treatment.

Yours, etc., T.E. STANTON, Manlius, Onondaga Co., N.Y.

[Ill.u.s.tration: A.F. b.u.t.tles.]

_Gentlemen_--In grat.i.tude to yourselves as well as to give my fellow sufferers the benefit of my experience I wish to say, that immediately after receiving your courteous reply to my letter, describing the difficulty in breathing after any extra exertion, I began taking Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and before I had finished the first bottle I was greatly relieved.

I have taken less than one-half dozen bottles, and although the disease was of about three years' standing, I can now do as big a day's work as any of my neighbors and as many of them, for all of which I am indebted to the "Golden Medical Discovery."

Yours respectfully, AVERY F. b.u.t.tLES.

_Gentlemen_--It is with pleasure that I can testify to your skillful operation in removing a number of nasal tumors.

I had been a great sufferer from acute headaches, caused by the tumors, for years.

I cannot speak too highly of the benefit I received at your Inst.i.tution the two months I stayed with you. I feel sure of a permanent cure as I do not have the headaches as formerly.

Yours respectfully, GEORGE H. BAILEY, Hinsdale, Cheshire Co., N.H.

ASTHMA CURED.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Mrs. Kyker.]

Gentlemen--My wife was afflicted with asthma for twenty years: as she grew older she grew worse. Her case was treated by three eminent doctors, but all failed; they told me there was no cure for it.

Discouraged as I was, I resolved to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery; she used five bottles and two vials of your "Pleasant Pellets," which has made a permanent cure. She has gained twenty pounds in weight since the cure was effected.

Yours truly, D.R. KYKER, English, c.o.c.ke Co., Tenn.

_Gentlemen_--Having been in your Inst.i.tution as a sufferer from two distinct chronic diseases of years' standing, and having been placed under the charge of your specialists, I was speedily relieved of my afflictions. The Invalids' Hotel is a place as much like home as it is possible for such an inst.i.tution to be. The physicians and surgeons are all expert specialists and thoroughly efficient; the nurses are very competent, attentive and kind; and, in fact, the whole _personnel_ of the Invalids' Hotel endeavor to do their best to make the patients feel like being at home. I always felt while there as if I was one of the family. I gladly recommend your Inst.i.tution to all persons who are afflicted with any kind of chronic disease, for from my own experience I _know_ the professional staff will do all which they promise to do.

Please accept my thanks for the speedy benefits and perfect cure of my diseases, and I think your Inst.i.tution is worthy of the highest endors.e.m.e.nt.
