press. In every case of single or double rupture, in either sex,
of any age, however bad or long standing, it is equally appli-
cable, effecting a cure in a few days, without inconvenience,
and will be hailed as a boon by all who have been tortured with
trusses. Sent post free to any part of the world, with instruc-
tions for use, on receipt of 10s. 6a. by post-odice order, or stamps,
by CHARLES BARKER, M.D., 10, Brook-street, Holborn.
