IT is the opinion of all the principal profess
m sors Of medicine in the United States. who
have given their testimony, that DR.. IHomp.
sons "Patent apparatus for the cure Of Frotap-
sus and other diseases" possesses superior adj
vantages over amy other apparatus of the kind
ever presented to the public. Their certif
Gates to that effect can be seen by calling on
the undersigned at his store in Woodstock.
These Trusses have. been examined by DR..
Irwin, DR. MagrudeT, & DIR. Wunder, and they
concur with the above sentiments-that it is
The most easy, safe, and certain remedy for
those diseases it processes to cure, ever inven-
ted.-They can be had at my store. Those
who stand in need of an article of this kind,
would do well to make immediate application.
