The Brooks Rupture
Appliance
Is Sold Round the
World

While the home of the
Brooks Appliance Co. is at
Marshall, Mich, its business
extends to practically every
corner Of the civilized world.
The home building at Mar
shall is the largest establish
ment of its kind in this or
any other country. and occu-
pies $1,000 50. #. of floor space
exclusively devoted to the
manufacture and sale OF the
Brooks Appliance. This does
not include printing offices or
other interests.)
In London, England, the
Brooks Co. maintains a large
establishment-in the Kings
way House, Kingsway, w. c. 2.
In Amsterdam, Holland, the
European business is conduct
ed from No. 4 Paleisstraat.
You will be most welcome
and will receive most careful
personal attention in any of
the Brooks Institutions, either
in this country or abroad.
Even in China, Japan, Africa,
South America, Asia, Alaska,
and, in fact, all over the world,
even to remote islands of the
seas-wherever civilization has
forced her way-you will find
the Brooks Rupture Appliance
bringing relief and comfort to
rupture sufferers.

Brings Instant Relief
Perfect Safety
and
Everlasting Comfort

The Brooks Rupture Appli-
ance IS beyond question the
most universally endorsed ap-
pliance of any kind in the
world for the retention and
cure of a ruptured condition
In men, women and children.
1t is the result of more than
80 years experience, and the
percentage of actual cures ef-
fected by its use is a little
short of miraculous.
The Brooks Appliance has
so many initators that It is
never sold in drug stores, or
IN any other way than by
mail, direct from the maker.
This is further necessary be-
cause every Brooks Appliance
Is especially made and fitted
for the case for which it Is IN
tended.
Many hundreds of Physicians
and Surgeons recommend the
Brooks Appliance and con-
denim trusses as more harmful
than almost any other method
OF retaining or treating rup-
ture.
You may not think that a
rupture appliance can ever be
truly "comfortable"-but that
Is because you have never
tried Brooks.
The Washington herald., 1918-01-20
Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

1. 1t IS absolutely the only Appli-
ance of the kind on the market today.
and in it are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
tion.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der. it cIings 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.
5. 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing.
G. The soft, pliable bands holding
tina Appliance do not give one the un-
pleasant sensation of wearing a har-
ness.
Z. 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
Appliances 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 estab-
lished by an experience of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are so reasonable. my terms
so fair. that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending the free cou-
pom today.

tee Is Satisfaction
to You

No other rupture appliance, truss,
lock, device, pad, or plaster is offered
to the public on such terms and un-
der such a guarantee as the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.
If for any reason whatever you
do not wish to keep the Brooks Ap-
pliance after you try it, all you have
to do is to send it bask. You don't
have to give any reason, you don't
have to write US why, you don't have
to send to US for any return instrue-
tions or labels. There will be no
argument no dispute, no misunder-
standing-but you will find that doing
business with Brooks is just like do
ing business with First National
Bank.
