NHE superiority of this instrument over IL any thing of the kind ever offered to the public is fully proved by the testimony ofthe most experienced surgeons, and the repeated instances in which perfect cures have been effected. We know that safety and life are leopardized by neglecting immediate atten- ton; instance the frequent painful surgical operations in cases of Etrangllated Hernia. This instrument is new in theory, and pro. duces the most happy practical results. Gen tlemen and physicians who take an interest in improvements which tend to alleviate h,l- man suffering are respectfully invited to ex- anime this instrument.
 Recommendation from Dr. Hvde, Bratsleboeo,. V1 q
 Alter several months investigation, and having seen many cases under treatment with this and other in- struments ofthe same kind, the undersigned unhesa- tngly pronounces JoqGithe Aaevican 1rass in bis O. power, manner of giving pressure, and especially in ease to the weorer to any instrument now before the public, The principle is . just one-founded on tho principle ot adhesive inflammation and the anatomy for this opinion s that Hernia has been Cured bv the application of the nstESnent in repeated nstan ces.

 Certificates and recommendations can be seen at the Agents room. The best recom- mend is an examination, together with fair trial. Gentlemen who wish can have six days to prove the perfection of this instrument by wearing it.. This offer is made with the belief that none will regret the triling pecuniary consideration in securing an instrument of intrinsic value.
