Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks Rup-
ture Appliance

!. 1t Is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market to-day, and in
ii are embodied the principles that in
ventOrs have sought after for years.
, The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
ton.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rub
her it clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary sO-caIled pads.
used in other trusses, ii is not cumber-
some or ungainly.
;. 1t is small. soft, and pliabIe and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
s. The soft, plable bands holding tho
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation of wearing d harness.
:. There is nothing about it TO get
foul and when il becomes soiled it can
he washed without injuring it in the
least.
s There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
O. All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very best
that money can buy, making II a dur
able and safe Appliance to wear.
TO- Ny reputation for honesty and fair
dealing is so thoroughly established by
an experience of over thirty years OF
dealing with the public, and my prices
are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that
there certainly should be no hesitancy in
sending free coupon to-day.

ALLNUTT is SANE,
ALIBNISTS AFFIRM:
Slayer of His Sister Breaks
Down at Trial.

After two alienists for the State had
contradicted the statement of the de-
tense that he was insane at the time
he killed Mrs. Valera Veirs, his sister,
Richard Allnut, on trial for his life in
the District Court of Rockville broke
down for the first time yesterday.
The two physicians were DR.. Arthur
p. Herring, secretary of the State
board of lunacy, and DR.. f. L. Bull
lard, head of the Rockville Sanatorium
for the Insane. Both declared that
when Allnut attacked his mother and
killed his sister he was provoked "for
some reason known to himself" and
that he was aware then, as he is now,
of what he was doing.
The prisoner wirced as the words came
| from the witness. Previously it had been
shown that Allnutt had had no quarrel
with his sister; that she had constantly
defended him when others of his family
had turned against him. and that she
had sided with him in the matter of the
division of the estate.
Then began the opening for the State.
AIlnTtt's face grew CHASTITY white as the
biting phrases came from Attorney Pref
| lyman.
"Here is mar who has lied to save
his neck said the attorney. When pro-
voked he brutally assaulted two women,
and now he would explain his crime by
telling YOU that he is mad. Gentlemen
Of the jury, this was not the attack of a
mailman. 1t was the brutal assault of a
man who is at heart a murderer of the
most vicious type. He is Il man who.
when angered, would attempt to kill his
own mother.
