OUR FIELD OF SUCCESS.

old operations still in use by most surgeons, and enables the patient
to get about in two or three days and return home in a week's time,
while to cure by the old methods requires six weeks at least, and
oftener two or three months. See numerous testimonials and re-
ports of the worst cases treated, in "Invalids' Guide Book," sent
for one stamp.

STRUCTURES AND URINARY FISTULAS. --Hundreds of cases
of the worst forms of stricture, many of them greatly aggravated
by the careless use of instruments in the hands of inexperienced
physicians and surgeons, causing false passages, urinary fistulas,
and other complications, annually consult us for relief and cure.
That no case of this class is too difficult for our skill, is proved
by cases reported in the "Invalids' Guide Book," to which we re-
fer with pride. A full consideration of this subject is also con-
tained therein. Sent to any address for one stamp. To intrust this
class of cases to physicians of small experience, is a dangerous pro-
ceeding. Many a man has been ruined for life by so doing, while
thousands annually lose their lives through unskillful treatment.

STONE IN THE BLADDER is removed by our surgeons in the
safest possible manner.

FISTULA IN ANO, PILES, and all other diseases affecting the
region of the lower bowel, are largely treated, and with marvelous
success, by a surgeon giving his whole time to the study and treat-
ment of this class of affections. See "Invalids' Guide Book."

DISEASES OF WOMEN.--As our Dr. PIERCE'S Favorite Pre-
scription is a potent specific for most of the chronic weaknesses
and diseases peculiar to women, thousands of invalids suffering
from these maladies are annually cured by it at their homes, with-
out consulting us; so that it is only the most complicated and
difficult cases, and those of a surgical character, with which we
have to deal. Yet our records show that over 6,000 females re-
ceived special treatment during the past year from our specialists
in charge of this branch of practice. The facilities at the Invalids'
Hotel are of a superior order as regards the remedial means and
appliances for the cure of all the most difficult and complicated
chronic diseases peculiar to females. See "Invalids' Guide Book,"

BARRENNESS, OR STERILITY, is generally due to cuases easily
removed, yet not generally understood by physicians who mani-
fest little interest in, and often treat lightly, a subject fraught with
so much importance to humanity. Our specialits have made this
subject a speical study. By their skill, stricture of the neck of the
uterus, and other impediments to the bearing of offspring, have
been easily and painlessly overcome, and hundreds of homes thereby
made happy. See "Invalids' Guide Book," sent for one stamp.

FIBROUS TUMORS of the uterus have frequently been cured
by infection and other means, and even

OVARIAN TUMORS have been made to yield to electrolysis
and other treatment, without resort to operative surgery. As a
last resort, however, our surgeons do not hesitate to operate in
these cases.

LADIES ABOUT TO BE CONFINED will find our hotel a quiet
retreat and congenial home, affording large, well-ventilated, sep-
arate rooms, and experienced, kind, and attentive nurses. The
physicians in charge of this speical and important department,
were chosen on account of their large experience and skill as
accoucheurs. Their professional writings on "Painless Delivery,"
"Unneccessary Use of Instruments in Delivery," "Meddlesome Mid-
wifery," "Causes of Difficult Delivery and How to Overcome
Them," have been well received by the profession, and, together
with their success in practice, furnish indisputable and practical
evidence of their masterly familiarity with their specialty. The
importance of careful and skillful management and good after-
treatment and care, in this class of cases, is well illustrated in the
ruined health of thousands, due to harsh, meddlesome, or negligent,
midwifery, to say nothing of the thousands who annually lose
