The foregoing three letters tell their story plainly and concisely, and
need little or no explanation. We only desire to append the following
note from our Case Book--"D---- B----; RESIDENCE--Bay Shore, Suffolk
County, Long Island, N.Y.; AGE--54; Sex--Male; CIVIL CONDITION--Widower;
OCCUPATION--Track-Walker on L.I. Railroad (formerly Bayman and Sailor);
DISEASE--Double Varicocele, most pronounced on the left side; glands
much softened and wasted; cord also varicose and very painful.
COMPLICATION--Impaired powers, losses and commencing Impotence.
CAUSE--Indirect and Contributive Abuse in earlier years. DIRECT--Fall
from rigging of a vessel. TREATMENT--Medium Cradle and Inguinal
Compressor and one No. 2 Course Civiale's Soluble Crayons.
RESULT--Perfect cure in about 9 months. REMARKS--As severe and
complicated a case as can be found in any records. The symptoms of
Impotence were undoubtedly due to the pressure of the dilated veins on
the testicles in the scrotum and the seminal duct in the Inguinal Canal.
Patient promises to report, in person, at the end of six months, to
determine whether the cure remains perfect." Mr. B---- has since moved
to Islip, Long Island, where letters of inquiry (containing a stamp for
reply) will reach him.
