RUPTURE
DURABLE.
The method of curing
rupture used by the Fl
deity Rupture Co.
n No SECRET,

If hernia is to be cured permanently,
new tissue must be grown to fill up the
false cavity occupied by the intestines.
We put the intestines back where they
belong, hold them there by truss and
then inject our fluid into the cavity.
This fluid causes emulation of serum.
The serum forms new tissue, uniting
the two surfaces Of the cavity.
The first injection is always placed
at the internal ring or the point where
the intestine leaves the abdomen. This
closes the opening from the abdomen
into hernia cavity. The injections are
repeated once a week till the hernia
cavity is all closed by new tissue.

II is probable that in the fall the

work under the direction of MIR. Eddy,
Certainly there is nothing wildly i'm.

Lieut.. Wise enjoys another unique
Distinction; he is probably the only
man in this country who has ever been
hoisted into the air by kites. This re.
markable feat was accomplished at
Governors Island last fall Four large
Hargrave kites were used, and as the
wind was blowing at the time Of the
experiment, their combined pull was
400 pounds. When the kites were well
in the air, Lieut., Wise was pulled up

means of rope and tackle. lie re,
