The above article does not consist in the ease
and safety by which they are worn only, but
by proper adaptation will speedily effect per-
mancnt cure of the Hernia. Numerous cefti6-
Gates TO the above facts might be added, were

Trusses will convince any one that the great
desideratum has al length been obtained, and
this formidable disease is no longer dread.
think therefore that all afflicted with Hernia
