RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a,
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moo-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A.
descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
rot fail to fit, forwardel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
manufacturer,
Mr. JOHN WHITE, 228, Piccadilly, London.
