(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions

Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective invention in

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 Moc-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-
tot fail to fit, forwardel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
