Ten Reason. Why

You Should Send For Brooks Rup-
turs Appliance.
I. 1t Is absolutely the only Apple
ance of the kind on the market today,
and in 1t are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture ann be thrown out of posi-
ton.
8. Being an air cushion Of soft rub-
Der 1t clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
f. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads. used in other trusses. 1t is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
5. 1t il small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot. be detected thru
the clothing.
8. The soft. pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the un-
pleasant sensation Of wearing q har-
ness.
z. There is nothing about it to get
foul. and when 1t becomes soiled It
can be washed without injuring 1t in
the least.
8. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance o torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
9. All Of the material Of which the
Appliances are made Is OF the very
best that money can buy, making 1t a
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. Ny reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is 30 thoroughly estab-
lished by an experience Of over thirty
years Of dealing with the public, and
my prices are &C reasonable. my terms
SO fair. that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending free coupon
