trouble. That truss you have been
wearing-one of many you have tried
chafed and irritated you and was worse
than nothing. 1t had springs and pads
and harness and straps and filings
galore and was continually getting out
of shape-slipping down or working up
and always needing attention. Then,
there were salves and washes and
ointments to make the case worse and
harder to bear. want to say that you
will find none of these annoyances and
vexations in the BROOKS APPLI-
ANCE. At least they are reduced TO a
minimum. This appliance was made
with, just such trouble. [ would have
been foolish to work half lifetime,
thinking out and perfecting a thing
that had no advantage or was not bet

features LEFT OUT You will find it
easy to wear. You will scarcely re-

with comfort to the Wearer. | want
you to read my book, in which I have
about it. Then, there are a few letters
printed in it-selected at random from
among hundreds written by men and
women who have been cured. You can
write these folks and see what they
say. If I were you I would see to this
matter without waiting. You can put
off some things without running much

proposition to neglect. A rupture is

it leads to things infinitely worse. Fill

TEN REASONS w nv
You Should Send sor Brooks Rup.
ture Appliance

l. 1t is absolu te1y the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today and
in it are embodied the principles that
inventors have sought after for years
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out Of posi-
ton.
g. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der it clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used in other Trusses, it is not cum
berSome or ungainly.
s., 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
G. The soft, pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the I'M
pleasant sensation of wearing a har-
ness.
7. There is nothing about it to get
foul, and when it becomes soiled it
can be washed without injuring it in
the least
8. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
8. All of the material Of which the
Appliances are made is of the very best
that money can buy, making it a dur
able and safe Appliance to wear
10. MY reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
lShed 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.

Careful Investigation by the cemetery

From the appearance OF tho tomb IL
