His Rupture
Old Sea Captain Cured His Own
Rupture After Doctors Said
Operate or Death"
His Remedy and Book Sent Free

Captain Ceilings sailed the seas for
many years: then he sustained bad
double rupture that soon forced him to
not only remain ashore, but kept him bed
ridden for years. He tried doctor after
doctor and truss after truss. No results!
Finally. lie was assured that he must
either submit to 4 dangerous and alb
horrent operation or die. He did neither!
He cured himself instead.
Captain Ceilings made study OF him
self. of his condition-and at last he was
rewarded by the finding of the method
that so quickly made him a well. strong,
vigorous and happy man. Anyone can use
the same method; it's simple. easy. safe
and inexpensive. Every ruptured person
in the world should have the Captain Col
lings book, telling all about how he cured
himself, and how anyone may follow the
same treatment in their own home with
out any trouble. The book and medicine
are FREE. They will be sent prepaid to
any rupture sufferer who will fill out the
below coupon. But send 1t right away
now-before you put down this paper.
