permanent and that he was really cured.

For fifteen years l went around as
best could with two ruptures, at times
SO painful that I was forced TO take 70
nv bed. Had tried for relief many
times with worthless trusses. but all
turned out the same. no good for ne.
Il was advised to try Schulins Rup-
ture Lock by friend. who claimed he
was cured. which / did, and in one year
was completely cured on both sides

him back to his home in New York.
He rold his gripping story of cruelty
and favoritism and acknowledgement
with nervous haste, as though he
wished to unburden himself of all in
the few minutes before he must board
the train.
He had been the victim himself Of
some of the inhuman treatment, he
said. but It was when he dwelt on

name of a so-called discipline" that
his voice broke and tears streamed
