Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks
Rupture Appliances.

1. It is absolutely the only Appli-
ance OF the kind on the market today.
and In IL are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after Tor
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining thu
rupture can not be thrown out OF posi-
ton. ~,
e 5. Being an air cushion OF soft ruDs
Der It cIings closely to the body yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads. used In other trusses, It ID not
cumbersome or ungainly.
&. II Is small, soft and pliable, and
positively can not be detected thru the
clothing.
8. The soft, pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the M
pleasant sensation of wearing mar
ness.
I There is nothing about It to get
foul and when It becomes soiled lt
can be washed without injuring " M
the least.
3 There are no metal springs IN
the Appliance to torture one by cut I;
ting and bruising the flesh.
& O. All of the material Of which tbs
AnnIiances are made is OF the very
best that money can buy, making
durable and safe Appliance TO wear.
10. Ny reputation for honesty ana
fair dealing IL 20 thoroughiy essaD a

years Of dealing With the public and

It would be great fun IL those state
contestants might be gathered in big
hall and all Iowa might be there to
see the struggle. A contingent of eld-
erly persons would travel miles to such
an exhibition, especially If the contest
were preceded by few recitations
and declarations and We We're given
a recess" between the program and
the spellin' match. Perhaps there are
wrinkled old fellows who would insist
on going out to ''wraSsle sideholt'
during the intermission; and others
who would slip around on the girls

talking TO that Jones girl now as
wrinkled as he while other leather
hecked ancients viewed him with con-

and mechanics rather than the ivor;es
Of We olden time. They'd probably do

as q judge or q member Of the state

He was by way OF being burgomaster

days has gone with tbs

His opinion was sought. He trained
with the squire and minister Some
