Such Misery Causing Makeshifts Are
the 1uptured Mans Worst Enemies

It's hard to make them hold. even
when drawn so tight that they scarceiF
give a minutes peace. They are SIM
ply a curse to wear.
And because they nearly always let
their victims get worse all the time:
they are yearly forcing, thousands OF
people into risking their lives by under
going operation.
These unscientifc makeshifts cause SO
much misery and such shameful
waste of money that the law should put
a stop to their sale

Don't Buy Anything For Rupture
without Privilege of Thorough Test

There's only one reason in the world
why you or any one else ever gets sad
died up with good-for- nothing make
shifts
It's simply because you trust TO a
mere trv-on or hasty examination IN
stead Of first making thorough test.
"A truss or so-called appliance may
seem all right when you first try it on
and afterward prove utterly worthless.
The only way you can ever make sure
OF exactly what you are getting is by
sixty days trial-a thorough day-after-
day test.
And there's only one thing of any
kind whatever for rupture that you can
get on such long trial
Only one thing good enough to stand
such long and thorough test
That's our guaranteed rupture holder.
