Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

l. 1t is absolutely the only APP
pliance 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
position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber it clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irritation.
4. 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.
6. The soft, pliable bands hold
ing the appliance do not give one
the unpleasant sensation of wearing
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
8. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh
9. All Of the material of which
the Appliances are made is of the
very best that money can buy, max
Ing it a durable and safe Appliance
to wear.
10, My reputation for honesty
and fair dealing is SO thoroughly es-
tablished by an experience of over
thirty years of dealing with the pub
lie, and my prices are so reasonable,
my terms so fair, that there certain
ly should be no hesitancy in sending
