of Sept. 25th to 30th. He would no
doubt make it the occasion for the

President Taft visited the Corn
Palace in 1909, when he was q cam

crowd that greeted him here and
heard him speak, makes it easier to
induce him TO agree to return here.

Dear Sir
Perha ps it will interest you to know
that I have been ruptured six years
ard have always had trouble with 1t
till I got your Appliance. It is very
easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and
is not in the way at any time, day or
night. In fact, at times did not know
had it on; it just adapted itself to
be part Of the body,as it chung to the
spot,no matter what position I was In.
1t would be a veritable God-send to
the unfortunate who suffer from rup-
ture If all could procure the Brooks
krrture ApDliance and wear 1t. They
would certainly never regret it.
My ruDture is now all healed up
and nothing ever did it but your APP
pliance. Whenever the opportunity
presents itself will say good word
for your Appliance, and also the hon
orablel way in which you deal with
ruptured people. It is a pleasure to
- .ornmend q good thing among your
friends or strangers. I am,
Yours very sincerely,
