| At an early age, Eugene Pullen wa:
an express driver. He handled rail
road baggage. One day after deliver
! ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor
| he felt a pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and it was not long
before the young man noticed the
swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen thai
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life OIL
submit to q drastic operation. AL
surgeons know th..t hernia operations
with anaesthetics, etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it
is a we'll established fact that many
ruptured operations are not successful
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes worse
than ever.
Afraid of Operations.
Like most Others Mr.. Pullen de-
clined to take the risks of an opera
ton; the expense and loss of time had
to- be considered, too. Hoping he
might get little better encourage
ment, he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow, gave him even less
hope. 1t was pointed out to the young
man that unless the rupture were per-
fectly held all the time or the sur
geon's knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in the rupture with further complica-
hernia which kills so many ruptured
people.
Victim of Trusses.
The victim bought truss, a hard,
spring-like affair, the best he could
get 1t tortured him. He tried an
other-still no relief. He was COM
PEELED to give up his express business.
The hard tasks of ordinary men were
forbidden him. He became an inSur-
ance agent, in which position he did
not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr.. PuIlen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic, etc, with never any content
ment. One day his mother told him
something she had just found out. 1t
was a simple and easy thing for him
to do. He lost no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once: he almost for
got that he had any rupture. After
ward came cure-a complete healing
and, although years have passed and
Mr.. Pullen is an energetic carpenter,
working on buildings, elm bling over
roofs. lifting lumber and such like, he
is absolutely free from the old hernia.
He knows he is completely, lastingly
cured. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble-comfort and
contentment from the very outset. He
is a strong, cheerful-lnin6e man.
Valuable Information Free.

Mrs. Pullen read in newspaper many

The respite given by Mr.. Abingdon s
arrival gave Mason time to focus his
thoughts. The man had lived in an in
ferno since he slipped away from his
sons that morning on a plea Of urgent
business in order to catch q fast train
for York in the afternoon.
He knew that Grenier would make
the Station Hotel his headquarters, and
his sole desire was to stop that enter
prising rogue from committing further
crimes which might be dana ging to
Anson's estate, and disastrous to the
peace of mind of the girl he loved
In no way did he hold Grenier re
sponsible for urging him to commit
murder The journey to York was I'M
dertaken in the first place to save
Philips memory from the slur which
was intended to be cast upon IT, and,
secondly. to afford p'easurable pre-
text for platform accident whereby
his own life should be dashed out OF
him by an engine.
He would stumble over a barrow, fall

and end his career far from London,
far from inquiry and published reports
which might be injurious to his sons.
