Get Rid of Belts, Elastic Bands. Springs
and Leg Straps-They Are
Simply Slow Suicide.

Trusses like those shown above-the belt and
leg strap. elastic and spring contraptons-sod
by drug stores. surgical instrument houses and
many selfstyled Hernia Specialists make
life miserable for everybody who wears them
wearing them is simply slow suicide.
And even when drawn so tight you scarcely
stand to keep them on they do good what
ever.
Instead, they otter do immense harm. They
squeeze the rupture often causing strangulation:

the sensitive spinal column al the back.
The Plain Truth Is This.

unless the parts held securely TOGETHER.
And-jus as bandage splint is the only
way n BROKEN BONE can be held-the RIGHT
KIND OF TRJSS is the only thing in the world
that can keep a RUPTURE from COMING OUT.

you get THAT kind OF truss.
And you CAN GET EXACTLY that kind OF
truss without riskng a CENT Of your money.

sisted In moving a section of the large
bone of the leg below the knee and re-
placing it with a section of the smaller
bone from the same member of the body.
He accomplished the whole task. includ-
ing the saving of the bone. with no other
aid than a local anesthetic The patient
has recovered entirely. and suffers no in
convenience from the fact that a part
of one bone was taken to supply the lack
of the other. 1t Is curious fact that in
many cases piece of bone taken away
in this manner is perfectly supplied by
natural growth. AS a brilliant surgeon
remarked at a recent banquet: Mature

really do is to place her on the right
track and start her off,
When it is proved by practical demon
stration that new elbow or knee joint
so shattered that all the fragments Of
bone composing it had to be removed, the
surgeons statement will not be disputed.
A hotel walter last year suffered such an
accident. The surgeon removed all the
fragments of the broken elbow, prepared
the ends of the bones of the upper and
forearm and brought them together in
proper position. In few weeks an en-
tire new elbow joint was formed with
the movement as perfect as before. Now

the TRANSMISSION OF blood, with least
| waste and least pain to the donor and
receptor. This instrument, which was
lately tested in Columbia Hospital in
New York, consists of a pair of metal
valves connected by two arms to fit one
over the other and followed to permit
the passage of the blood. One is attached
to the open blood vessel of the blood
receptor. and the flow is regulated in a
simple but effective manner.

years ago was a very rare opera ton, is

skin grating. The latter process has be-
come so popular in public favor that an
organization has been formed in New
York known as The Skin-Grafting So
ciety,' the members OF which are pledged
to give a certain amount of their skin to
supply the need of the sufferer whenever
a call is made for such a sacrifice Each
member is examined by a physician be-
fore joining, and only a person in abso-
lutte heallhful condition can become a
member.
The latest development of skin grating
in London, however, is grating a pig s
skin on to human face, and If 1t is
successful the members Of the Skin Graft
ing Society will no doubt prefer to keep
their own cuticles intact. it IS claimed
that the skin of young pig closely re-
sembles that of man, and several ex-
periments seem to prove this satisfac-

PUT-IN-BAY, June II, 1911.
The battle of Lake Erie, which was
fought September 10. 1918. ten miles of
Put-in-Bay, is reckoned by military his
torians as one of the decisive battles OF
the world, as 1t cleared the lakes OF
the British. effectually defeating their
purpose to make the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers the southern and western
boundaries of Canada, and opened the
way for Gen. Harrison's victory on the
Thames. which practically finished the
war. No other naval engagement re-
corded in history was fought with so few
men and SO few guns. while both fleets
were insignificant in their tonnage.
The British had six ships. with COM
bined tonnage of only $40 tons. manned
by 81 officers and 40 men. with 63 guns,
Of SOL pounds OF metal
The Americans had nine ships, with
combined tonnage of 969 tons, manned
by 20 officers and 464 men. with 81 guns,
of $50 pounds of metal. But 116 of the
crew were on the sick list at the time OF
the engagement, rs of whom, including
Commodore Perry. were suffering from
bilious fever.
The combined tonnage of both fleets
was 1,7S9 tons, equal to that Of one of
the smallest gunboats in the present
navy, and the combined personnel of
both fleets was So officers and 934 men.

Contractor ]. s. Ness has filed his
brief for a rehearinc in the court
house case. This is the third request
for a rehearing in the notable suit,
one having been made by Mr. o 'keefe

Mr. Ness states in his brief as the
chief reason for the rehearing that
the court misconstrues the English
language: that his non-collusion affi-
davit is good and as required bv law.
But that even if ii is not good. the
blank was given to him by the coun-
ty commissioners. and that they have
now no right 10 saw to him that the
affidavit is not good IF it is not

stands in a position to say to the
board that his bid is the lowest hid

is fighting for. The brief is a strong
one and NAV AGAIN turn things tops-
