Discarded His Truss

Relief at once: he almost forgot that he had any rupture Afterward came cure--a complete healing--and, although years have passed and MT. Pullen is an en- ergetic carpenter, working on buildings climbing over roofs. lifting lumber and such like, he is absolutely free from the old her. nia- He knows he Is completely, lastingIy cured.

At an early age. Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled railroad bag gage. One day after delivering a heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man mo- kiced the swelling.
 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 anaest thetics, etc. are dan- serous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is well established fact that many rup- ture operations are not successfully the bowel soon breaks through the sewed-up opening &nd protrudes worse than ever

Victim of Trusses

The victim bought a truss. a hard. spring like affair, the best he could get It tor tured him. He tried another-stl no re- lief He was compelled to give up his ex- press business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. m.<He became an in- surance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work.
 For six years MT. Pullen dragged around, with never any contentment. One day his mother told him something she had just found out It was simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost time.

Afraid of Operation

Like most others. Mr- Pullen declined to take the risks of operation; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get little better encour- agement. he went to another physician who to his sorrow. gave him less hope. It was pointed out to the young that un- less the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeons knife successfully used. he might expect increase or dou- bling in the rupture with further complies tions, or the dreaded strangulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people.

Il MONG the presidents, John Quincy
IN Adams holds the record of hav'
Ing been the youngest and Oldest pub
lie servant. From boyhood, when he
was a secretary of legation at the ex.
traordinary age of fourteen until he
fell at his post in the halls Of congress
In his eighty-first year, he was in the
service of his country So of those 81
years.
A president and the son Of a presi-
dent, all the other Is presidents from
Washington to Johnson were his asso-
ciates. From the day he climbed a
height near his Massachusetts, BIRTH
place to see the battle of Bunker Hill,
Is miles away, he vas a witness to
nearly every great event in the history
of the nation until the close of the
Mexican war.
With John Adams in congress the
child had to be the man Of the family,
and at nine he regularly rode his horse
to Boston to fetch the mail. At ten
his father took him with him OF his
mission to France. By twelve he had
crossed the Atlantic four times, rum
ming the British blockade in leaky tubs
At fourteen, an American minister
appointed the mature youngster" his
secretary of legation. By seventeen,
the youth had travelled over much of

Europe, and he came home to enter
Harvard. After graduation, he OPEN
ed a law office in Boston. But bust
ness was only beginning when the
young attorney was appointed by
Washington, minister at The Hague,
where the government to which he
was accredited fed before the armies
of France and left him in the midst
of the triumphant revOlutionists.
Meeting the daughter Of the American
consul in London, a Marylander, she
and the young diplomat were married
on the eve of his departure for Berlin,
to which capital he had been promoted.
Among his last acts Is president,
John Adams removed his son from
office to deprive Jefferson of the ma
licious satisfaction of dismissing him.
When the recalled diplomat was elect.
lily trait Of independence by taking
sides with his fathers hated rival and
supporting the Jefferson administra-
ton.
The Infatuated f~ederalists of Massa-
chusetts savagely turned upon him as
a traitor to his party and a renegade
from his class. They drove him from
the senate, and when he came home
he found himself in his Boston house,
which stood where the Hotel Touraine
now stands, a social outcast on a
onely island entirely surrounded by ice.
With his name erased forever from
the Boston blue book, John Quincy
Adams was no longer a gentleman, and
the Jeffersonians, who were not gentle
men, but only Democrats, took him up.
By their favor he became minister to
Russia, a %negotiatOr of the peace OF
Client in 1914, and minister to England.
From London, John Quincy Adams
was called home to be secretary OF
state In the Monroe administration. In
that post he played the leading part
in shaping the Monroe doctrine.
In his retirement John Adams had
watched with fond admiration the rise
of John Quincy until he was only one
rung from the top. Although, in his
crabbedneSs, he complained that m
son will never get a chance at
presidency until the last Virginia
