At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
| an express driver. He handled railroad
baggage. One day after delivering
heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt
pain in the right groin. The suffer-
| ing increased and it was not long be-
| fore the young man noticed the swell
| ing.
The doctor told young Pullen that he
was ruptured and that he must either
| wear a truss Throughout life or submit
| to drastic operation All surgeons
know that hernia operations, with an
aesthetics etc, are dangerous; they
| nay end fatally. Moreover, it is well
established fact that many rupture OPP
| erations are not successful; the bowel
soon breaks through the sewed up
opening and protrudes worse than ever.
Afraid Of Operation.
| Like most others, Mr.. Pullen declined
| to take the risks of an operation; the
| expense and loss of time had to be
| considered, too, Hoping he might get
little better encouragement, he went
| to another physician who, to his sor-
| row, gave JllIl even less nope. IL was
pointed out to the young man that I'M
less the rupture were perfectly held all

| crease or doubling in the rupture with
further complication. or the dreaded
strangulated hernia which kills so
many ruptured people.
Victim of Trusses.
The victim bought a truss hard,

still no relief He was compelled to
give up his express business. The hard
tasks of ordinary men were forbidden

in which position he did not need to
do bodily work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses. hard.

something she had just found out. 1t

to do. He lost no time.

Mr.. Pullen is an energetic carpenter,
working on buildings, climbing over
roofs, lifting lumber and such like. he
is absolutely free from the old hernia.
He knows he is completely, lastingly
cured. There was no operation, no lost
time, no trouble-comfort and con-
tentment from the very outset He is
strong, cheerful-minded man.

Pullen read in newspaper many

and the Catholic parties had gained
almost equal success. Neither party
had a majority in the chamber. and 1t
was In the first place considerations Of
foreign policy that made q cabinet
Nitti with a liberal retinue possible.
The foreign policy which Nitti develop
ed IN the Adriatic question and the
stand he took at San Reno was en-
dorsed by an overwhelming majority
recruited from nearly all parties. The
position OF the government became
critical as soon IS internal questions
came up. The overthrow was caused
By a matter Insignificant in itself. a
strike OF postal and telegraph employees.
It will be difficult for the Italians to
copstrue any internal policy with which
any government can get a lasting ma

will be the guide OF. Italy's foreign
