Rupture Cured

l have been a sufferer from a severe
rupture for fifteen years. 1 did nothing
for it. but let it run on doing my work
as best / could. I have been in the field
doing my work. when suddenly would
be compelled to lie down upon the
ground and work the displacement back
into position with my hands. Then I
would manage after a while to get up
again. AS l said, l suffered more or
less for fifteen yars. until | heard of
Prof. Joseph Fandrey and his remark
able success in the curing of such trou-
bles. applied to him; he gave me his
specially made truss, his liniment and
his instructions. | wore that truss for
five months. and was we'll on the way to
recovery. While working on baling
machine a button of the truss gave
way. The rupture was not wholly healed
and broke out again. This. was told.
was a serious matter-a case of curing
a rupture that had broken out second
time was not known in all medical
science. Not a case has ever been re-
corded until the present. / felt pretty
badly discouraged, but / again called
the skill of Prof. Fandrey to my aid.
Another truss was specially made, an
other treatment was applied. l wore
the new truss for seven months, until,
on December !, 1895. the truss was taken
off and I was pronounced a well man
again. l am very grateful to Prof. Fan
drey 70" his aid to me, and l will esteem
it genuine pleasure to answer any in
quiries from those afflicted as was.

The people are greatly interested in all
parts of the country at this time in good
roads. The benefits following from well
a"e large or amal This r
finds abundant support in the following
summary Of facts taken from an pei,,lt article IN
the experience of Gosler. small city in
the Harz mountains. Germany:
This old town owns forest of .o'@
of their best investments. because it no;
only furnishes them outing grounds and
good sport in the way of hunting. but with
q sure and continuously increasing rev
enue Under conservative management the
annual cut is 35O0Oo cubic feet of wood, ana
the net income from the sale is in round
numbers. $4,000 year or $3.50 an acre
year. which is a good return from soil un-
fit for agriculture. Formerly the district
was without good roads, but in 1915 the
forest manager persuaded the city fathers
TO appropriate enough money TO construct
a first-cass road system, which d cao was grad
spent on roads and 141 miles of these roads
were i'm good order The manager kept an
account of the influence of this improve
ment on the profits and cost of his forest
ry operations. and he was able to show
that the annual cost of logging had been been
and the result of the sales due to the fact
that much formerly unstable material
could now be disposed of and all could be
transported more conveniently was in
creased by $3,2S5. being a net increase of
$S255. or nearly 33 per cent of the amount
invested in road improvements. On one
road which was macadamized and mai
tanned for year at cost of $I444 an in
structive comparison was made between
the cost of hauling 100000 cubic feet OF
wood over the old and over the new roads.
On the old road Abb loads We're required of
40 cubic feet each. and costing $3.50, or
amounting in total to SIS. 2S2 80 On the new
road the same quantity was moved in
$500 loads of III cubic feet each. and The
cost. at the some price a load, was $954.. 20.
which means that the saving in hauling
alone was $685. or 10 per cent of the cost
OF the road in one year.
