Rough-Riders Test Proves
Schuiling Runtlre Lock
Montana Rsneher Tells How Won
derfuI Invention Enabled Him TO
Overcome Terrible Ruptures.

George b Houliston is a daring rider
Of wild horses He lives on a ranch at
Van. Montana, where life is strenuous
Some years ago he was seriously rup
tured on both sides,
Mr.. Houliston feared that meant the
end of his usefulness on the thrilling
work Of the ranch, The saddle was a
torture to him in his serious condition
and every minute on horseback was
gamble with life.
He put on the Schuiling Rupture Lock
one day after futile trial Of various
trusses and similar devices The Schulz
ing Rupture Lock worked. 1t felt com
Portable.
He jumped on his horse. battled the
bucBing beast, subdued him and galloped
away to the range.
1t seemed too good to be true. For
seven months he tested the schuiling
Rupture Lock under these trying condi-
tions. It met every test and proved
true and perfect Then Mr.. Houliston
wrote a letter in which he said:
GIVES 1T wild WEST" TEST.
1T is not possible to speak too high
ly of your wonderful rupture lock, for
was badly ruptured on both sides and
was never able to find a suitable article
that would give me relief from the con-
slant misery that had to endure
Il have worn your rupture lock for
about seven months. under the hardest
kind OF test. such as heavy lifting,
jumping, straining myself handling
horses rough horseback riding and
many other ways, and never in one
instance did it fail me which I must say
is very remarkable.
ct presume I am cured but viii take
no chances in taking it off, on account
Of my very rough work / will be pleased
to recommend it to all who wish to know
more about your wonderful invention"
The experience OF Mr. Houliston ts
proof positive OF the safety and effec-
tiyeness Of the Schuiling Rupture Lock.
When a rough rider with double
rupture gets relief, as Mr. Houliston did,
any rupture sufferer, man, woman or
child. can be sure that the Schuilng
Rupture Lock will give satisfaction
under any demands that may he put
upon IT,
The schuiing Rupture Lock is the
most important invention since the
treatment OF rupture began.
Rupture sufferers have been robbed
for years by men who make trusses.
worthless devices made only TO sell.
The Schuning Rupture Lock is made to
use.
RUPTURE is A LIFE BURDEN.
You have doubtless been disappointed
and discouraged by the rosy promises
and seductive statements Of all kinds
of rupture quacks. You perhaps have
tried many trusses and torturing de-
vices that gave no satisfaction. Mean
while, the handicap Of rupture re-
manned
II has been a burden on your life
and work that you have been unable
TO throw of.
But this announcement brings you
honest assurance that you can get real
relief
The schuiling Rupture Lock will cure
You can put on the schuling Rupture
