RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT,

WHITE'S M C-M AIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1462) 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 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 Slot-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, forwarded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
manufacturer,
