american journal of Health, Chicago.
Sept, '9G)
In the natural course of its distribu-
ton, this number of the American Jour
nal of Health will fall into the hands of
many readers who are suffering with
Hernia, and those who have friends who
are victims of this terrible afllction and
to such this editorial is especially di-
rected, for it brings with it tidlngs of
hope, which every ruptured person may
realize, if he desires to do so.
Our subscribers will remember that
several months ago we made editorial
mention of the fact that the Fidelity"
Rupture Cure had installed officers at 1G7
Dearborn street, this city, and having
thoroughly investigated this system in
other cities in which it had a record, we
did not hesitate to predict for the treat
ment widespread usefulness in Chica-
go and throughout this section. To say
that the results achieved here during the
past sixty days have justified such pre-
dictiOn is to state the truth modestlv.
for we have Informed ourselves regard
ing the cures performed within that
period, and have been amazed at the
beneficent results achieved. Whilst en-
tertaining a most favorable opinion of
the Fidelity Rupture Cure, we are
frank to confess that the results have
been far in advance of our most sanguine
expectations.
During the past two months we have
closely observed the progress made by
the "Fidelity' Cure in Chicago, and
scarcely day has passed by that we
have not pursued investigation through
some one of the avenues of information
which open up to the newspaper which
seeks truth and estcems facts above all
theories. As result we have had be.
fore US case after case wherein all other
sources were appealed to in vain, but
yielded TO the potent power of the
"Fidelity" system which brought per-
manent cure in every case coming to our
notice. In the light of such facts, we do
not hesitate to declare that this system
of treatment offers not only hope, but
also positive cure to every sufferer.
The fact that the company does not
receive cent until a cure is accomplish
ed is sufficient indication of its honesty
and sponsibility, as well as its faith in
the power it possesses to permanently
cure rupture in whatsoever form it may
occur.
To our readers who may be ruptured.
we have a word of earnest warning. Let
not the victim of Hernia lay to his soul
the tlattering JUNCTION that. because his
rupture Is not serious as some, he
stands it no danger. No one, not even
the surgeon, can predict what a day may
bring forth to the ruptured. although
relatively, he does not appear to have as
bad case as others who are victims of
this dread malady.
The ruptured man is never safe
stTangulation may occur without a sec
ond's warning; he Is always in peril, al
ways upon the brink of the volcano. \
slight strain, a fit of coughing, a sudden
step-any of these may be the cause
which accelerates his doom and brings
to him fate worse than death. for the
victim of strangulated hernia is practi-
cally beyond hope, the only recourse be-
ing difficult and painful surgical opera
ton. which trained surgeons regard as
being not only the last resort. but at the
same time dangerous eXpedient which
more frequently leads to disaster than to
success. This being the case, it is worse
than folly TO pursue the suicidal course
of refusing the proilered aid of a thor.
Ough and effective curative system such
as the Fidelity alone offers. Ii costs no.
thing to call and have an examination
made, and 1t costs nothing for the treat
ment until permanent cure has been ac-
complished. In the light of such facts
it is the duty of every sufferer to avail
himself of this opportunity, or if he is
not sufficiently appreciative of it, his
family should lend their entreaties to eff
feet the action, for every day and every
hour the ruptured postpones his cure
just that long he is in danger of immi
nent disaster, if not death.
The American journal of Health feels
that it has done its duty in the premises
and has carefully weighed every word
of this article. We have probably beer
ultra conservative regarding rupture
cures, but we know that at last a true
cure has been found. Such being the
case, we shall use every honest endeaYoI
to bring this cure to the notice of oul
readers, and hope that thereby many suf
ferers will be enabled to benefit by this
one and only hope that can be held ou
to the ruptured, for the Fidelity" cure
does cure and no other treatment cane
we have Investigated alb accomplished
the desired effect. For this reason VT
bestOw unqualified praise upon the "Fi
deity" system and advise every victim
of Hernia to avail himself of the cure
offers beyond question or doubt.
