THAS. G. REINHARDT's patent gIas
pad double and single lever truss

(patened Sept. "a, ls44) for tie support aud cure
OF rupture, or hernia suitable TO all sizes and ages,
for men, women, and children.
This truss has the superiority of any heretofore
in use: FIRST on account of durability and clean
illness, the rupture pad Icing of glass, Gin any
shape or fom,) the adjustments OF the springs to
suit the action of the body, and calculated to be
fitted to either side. The rupture pad (glass) has
a 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 man
spring. The superiority which this truss has over
others is obyious in this that it is most efecual IN
retaining the parts in their proper place, and una
king due pressure it is always clean; It's shape or
form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, las they become saturated with the fluids
from the body.) The umbiiical truss IL unGur-
passed, being so adapted as TO remain perfectly
secure where applied.
As proof OF its efficacy ofthe great number that
has been Wendell not one Of the owners has been
dissatisfied, but have spoken in the most commenda-
bic terms oft.
