CHAS. c. REINHARDT'S patent glass
" pad double and single lever truss,


(patented Sept. "a, ls44) for the support and cure
Of rupture, hernia suitable to all and ages,
for men, women, and children.
This truss has the superiority Of any heretofore
in use: first account Of its durability and clean
illness, the rupture pad Icing of glass, Tin any
shape or form,) the adjustments of the springs to
suit the action of the body, and calculated to be
fitted to either side The rupture pad (gIass) has
double motion: first, by revolving on its own
axis; second by the lever to which it is attached,
and where said lever is connected to the main
spring. The superiority which this truss has over
others is obvious in this that it is most eectual in
retaining the parts in their proper place, and ma
king due pressure; it is always clean; its shape or
form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, las they become saturated with the fluids
from the body.) The umbilical truss is unsur-
passed, being so adapted as to remain perfectly
secure where applied.
As proof of its efficacy the great number that
has been vended, not one of the owners has been
dissatisfied, but have spoken in the most commendu-
BILE terms oft.
