RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

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

IMPREGNABLE SAFES AND LOCKS.
Messrs. HOBBS, HART, and CO. call the special atten-
tion of BANKERS, GOLDSMITHS, JEWELLERS, and
others in possession of valuable property, to their NEWLY-
PATEN TED SAFE, which is so constructed as to bo im-
pregnable against all the artifices of the BURGLAR in the
use of the drill, the wedge, tho screw, or the crowbar, by
having its sides and angles held together by a system of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being filled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented
Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class
of burglars as well as the most scientific mechanicians.
LOCKS of every description for Mansions, Hotels,
Dwelling-houses, &c., at moderate prices.
