pads used iu other trusseE. SO Is not
cumbersome or unEainiy.
.. IL rs small. soft and pliabIe. and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
6. The soft. pliable bands holding
the Appliance DO not give one the un-
pleasant sensation or wearing a har-
ness.
Z. There is nothing about 10 90 get
foul and when SO becomes voiled II
can be washed without injuring Il in
the least.
y. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance TO torture one by cut
ting and hruisinE the flesh
=. All or the material OF which the
Appliances are made is or the very
best that money can buy. making 80 a
durable and safe Appliance 90 wear
10. Ny reputation FOR honesty and

lished by an experience OF over tnirtv
years or dealing with the public. and
my prices are 80 reasonable. my terms
so fair. that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in placing your order
