Ten Reasons Whv
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

1. 1t is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today, and in
1t are embodied the principles that invent
ors have sought after for years.
2 The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture cannot be thrown out Of position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber
1T clings closely to the body, yet never
blisterS or causes irritation.
t. Unlike the ordinary SO-called pads,
used in other trusses, it is not cumbersome
or ungainly.
3. 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through the
clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation of wearing a harness.
I. There is nothing about it to get foul.
and when it becomes sOiled it can be
washed without injuring it in the least.
s. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh
9. All of the material of which the APP
planes are made is of the very best that
money can buy, making it a durable and
safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and fair
dealing is so thoroughly established by
an experience of over thirty years of deal
ing with the public and my prices are so
reasonable, my terms fair, that there
certainly should be no heSitancy in send

Dear Sir.-The baby's rupture is alto

and we are so thankful to you. If we could

it now for six weeks. Yours very truly,

Dear Sir
Your Appliance did all you claim for the

and well. We let him wear it for about
year in all, although it cured him 3
months after he had begun to wear it.
We had tried several other remedies and
got no relief, and l shall certainly recon-
mend it to friends, for we surely owe
it to you. Yours respectfully,
