Edmund Lands, NJ D.-Dear Sir: / have, Sc
veral previous occasions, given my name in favor of
your Truss, but, as have frequently been caeS upon
OF late for the same purpose, have thought proper 10
address you, and give you my views, respecting your
patent Truss, in detail. have been extensively en-
gagged in the application ofevery description of Truss
es for the last ten years have professionally ap-
piled, in every variety of cases, the various Trusses
extant such as Hull's Knights, Chase's Sisby's lie
bellows ivory, wooden and cushion Pad; and after
fair trial OF them all have found to equal yours,
in palliative as well as curative principles Your
Truss, am happy TO say, sir, combines all that other
Trusses possess, besides its own improvement. Hernia
is much more frequent IN the community than is gen
orally supposed 1t nfirmity that is at best one
of trouble and anxiety, one that may terminate in
pd fatality if neglected, and one in which want of
proper surgical judgment in the application of impro
per instruments may cost the wearer their lives. Tho
use of your Truss, if applied you direct, will
in nine cases out of ten. The pivot and independent
spring has been a desderaum which your ingenuity
has happily Supplied inasmuch as, matter what the
labor contortion of the body may he, the Pad is
kept neatly adapted to the part from which the
tom or intestine may escape. Again, il can be worn
with more ease than any Other kind have used it
in infante cases with the most complete success,
where every other kind have failed. | have known
adults to abandon Chase's Hubs knights 4 Others
and rejoice in the benefits derived from "Landis:s
Truss" So that from actual observation, and on
anatomical and pathological principles, cannot avoid
cooy and deliberately giving my medical opinion and
name to all who desire it, in favor Of invaluable an
Instrument as DR.. Lands' Patent Truss for Hernia.
