Jordan: Dear sir: Your skillful treatment and success fal removal of obstructions in my nostrils de- serves open acknowledgment and it is a pleas- ure to perform what [ cousider my duty in this Fespost. An injury to my nose twenty years ago resulted in a deflected septum and after- ward in a complete stoppage of left nostril by excessive growth cartilage, and the right nostril was likewise cousiderably impaired for uscful- ness. All efforts to force natural discharges by sharp blowing failed and hawking was often re- sorted to, which di ableness I hastily pase over since the necessity for it no longer exists, For last three years I have been constantly re- ceiving treatment from inany doctors, and that they all failed of their object it is needless to say, since I placed myself in your hands just a month ago. The relief afforded and ventilation of throat made possible by your successful surgery (and which was attended by not the slightest pain or inconvenience) I most heartily thank you for and I stand ready to thoroughly indorse you and your methods. yours, Waxrer Nozets.
