HERNIA

May often be cured and always made com fortable and safe by e suitable Truss prop erly adjusted.
 A Truss or other appliance which cannot be worn with ease, or which fails to give the desired relief, is failure and should be at once discarded for something which is at the same time efficient and comforta- ble.
 With twenty-five years experiencein in the manufacture and almost daily application of Trusses and the various appliances for the mechanical treatment of Hernia and other weaknesses, large variety in stock and facilities for making to order anything which may be required, we can guarantee satisfaction in every case.
