Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance

1. 1t is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the marke- today. and In
1T are embodied the principles that In
ventors have sought after for years
2. The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture cannot be thrown out Of position.
g. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der. 1t 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 cumbe--
some or ungainly.
8. 1t is small soft and pliable. ana
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
c. The soft pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleas-
ant sensation Of wearing a harness.
Z. There is nothing about 1t to get
FOUL and when 1t becomes soiled 1t can
be washed without injuring 1t In the
least.
s. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting 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 1t dur
able and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and fair;
dealing is so thoroughly established by
an an experience of over thirty years
of dealing with the public, and my prices
are 70 reasonable. my terms so fair that
there certainly should be no hesItancy

o,o Drawn Out Case Is Given Twelve

For Their De

n'colD's LONG SPEECH
Attorney for tho Defense Consumes
Ftp- Hours In scathins De-
nuncIation Of the
Prosecution.

The case OF the State versus Louis
Hohl went to the jury yesterday af-
ternoon. Attorney Weber made the
closing argument
attorney McCoid. the Mt. Pleasant
counsel for the defendant, occupied
the attention OF the jury with his
closing argument from BIB p. N.
Tuesday to 1915 p. m. Wednesday,
making in all little over Ave hours
Of talking. His line OF talk varied
from that OF all the other attorneys,
It's effect as a closing address being a
matter OF considerable conjecture. A
revival of the Dan Miller form OF
pleading came when the able attorney
wept in speaking of the defendants
aged, crippled. lonesome, etc, moth
er; he begged the indulgence OF the
Jurors in the use OF tile handkerchief
and blamed 1t to the depths to which
he had been moved.
No PoInt Overlooked.
1t cannot be said that he overlooked
point in his five hour speech, nor
did single witness for the state
escape condemnation for their YER
acity, while glowing tributes fell for
other witnesses. The purposes OF the
states course OF action, as explained
by the attorney, was subjected to a
scathing denunciation. Every possible
ground for an acquittal was followed
connectedIy to its utmost end. If a
stone was unturned in the speakers
requirements of oratory, pleading, de-
batting, condemnation, exhortation,
and similar abstract accessories it was
apparently unintentional.
Mr.. Weber Closes.
County Attorney Weber, for the
state, commenced the final argu-
ment at 200 p. m. He recalled the
testimony which had been gone into
IN detail by the opposing. side and re-
reated the explanations of Attorney
McManus as to how the state expect
ed this matter to be handled. There
was little or no effort at oratory and
his remarks were directed toward
actual POINTS of the case, and the
connection of events as presumed by
she state to be the actual story OF
the affair, but his speech was most
effective, judging from its expressed
eifects upon the audience, which num-
hered near 400. He frequently quoted
the preceding attorney, alleging that
Mr. Mccoid had not followed the
testimony, which was read for cor
rection purposes several times.
Forty instructions.

by the opposing sides only about forty
were allowed by the court. Even
