and Rupture Wash are certain means of security
and relief in the worst stages of the affection.
The Truss has gained a popularity nnequalled
by any other for the following advantages First
its facility of adaptation and application second
its anatomical arrangement preventing it from
cha6ng and excoriating the body; third, its com
fort and security in any position of the body
fourth its slight inconvenience to the wearer un'
der every kind of exercise fifth, its certainty to
remain upon and close the hernia ring; sixth, its
aptness to contract and finally to remove the tumor
when used in conjunction with the hernia wash
The proprietor would simply remark to those
afflicted with Rupture that he has devoted many
years to the study and treatment of the complaint
in its various stages, and feels himself fully quail
fed to select spring and compress of the right
shape and bearing to suit any case that may be
trusted to his care. The poor will be dealt with to
suit their means. The prices of these useful in
struments are now reduced to IS and $40, making
them, considering their superior manufacture, the
cheapest and for economy's sake, most durable Of
any in the market, thus securing the unfortunate
from all the other advantages free from cost.
Having removed my old stand 70 st. Charles
street, my patrons will find me at my new store
and Office situated at the corner of ST. Charles and
Gravicr streets, opposite the St. Charles Hotel,
prepared with supply of Trusses to suit all forms
of abdominal hernia.
