If you should conclude to place your case in our hands, we shall be
pleased to hear from you, and promise you the most careful and thorough
attention. Our Consulting Staff is large, each physician has his special
department to attend to, and each case is afterwards reviewed by the
whole Board, so as to avoid all possibility of error and give each
sufferer the benefit of the highest skill and research. Our patients,
while numerous, are not such a multitude but that we can and do give
each one of them individually the closest attention. Should it be
convenient for you to visit us in person you will be cordially welcomed.
If you hesitate from ordering, from any cause, we shall be pleased
to correspond with you. We try to feel as if we have a personal
acquaintance with every patient, and treat him as a valued friend; and,
whether you ever order or not, we shall be glad to hear from you and
know your conclusions on this subject. Of course, every letter is
sacredly private. No one reads these but the Manager, and even our old
and trusted medical advisers do not know the names of our patients--only
the numbers and descriptions of cases go into their hands. As a further
assurance we destroy letters, or return them to the writers, whichever
they prefer.
We solicit your influence with your friends, and will be ready to
reciprocate such favors. You will also be often doing such friends a
favor, for which they will always thank you.
We shall be particularly pleased to hear from men advanced in years, who
feel the necessity of counteracting growing weakness incident to their
age, and who know the worse than folly of resorting to pernicious secret
preparations, the effect of which is to give unnatural stimulation for a
brief time, to be followed by a dangerous, perhaps fatal, reaction.
