NEW PATENT ~ us
AND RUPTURE REMEDY,
WILL EFFECT A SPEEDY CURE

'IAL LII ~ II - I'D CtflE
BY this Truss the following objections so prominent in
every other one Ill use are obviated-strong spring, with its
consequent severity, injurious pressure, and inability to
cure. And the following advantages gained: gentle pres
sure, complete retention, perfect ease and complete Cnrc.
l5This Truss is entirely different from all others in form
and principle of action, consequently, etlect-pessessing
all the advantages, while it is free from the objections attri-
buted to the various kinds heretofore in use. The pressure
Is more natural, being comparatively light in bad ruptHres:
can be regulated and brought to bear directly over the lcri-
nal openings, thereby ~atfording security at all times, even
under the most violent exercise. By its use, when fitted by
the proprietor or S skiIlful surgeon, the wearcr is placed
beyond the danger of StrangulatiOn or any other painful or
dangerous symptoms, which are not untrequent to the use
OF ether Irusses. 1t is avery common practice for persons
afflicted with Hernia, to select a Truss aud apply it TO them
selves. II is a bad and dangerous practice, which can be
seen only by those who understand anatomy, and are fani-
liar with the nature OF ruptures. Let it be remembered that
the best Truss may be injurious if it does not suit the form
of rupture applied to. and is not properly fitted. Therefore,
! have concluded to form no Agencies, but to sci Hand apply
the Truss ONLY at my office, 20 st. Charles street
New Orleans.
Obserrethe sign of the J. over the door.
The following is deemed sufficient evidence of the superb
ority Of this Truss.
Having had Numerous opportunities of seeing Mr.. Sher-
mans Truss applied and worn IN caseso of great difficult
ty,I have formed a very high opinion of its value. and be
lieve it to be the best instrument with which | am acquaint
