Thousands Healed

On file in the offices Of the com.
pany are thousands of letters telling
of healing effected by this new in
vention and many Of them full of
thanks and gratitude for the relief
which they had always thought i'm
possible or too dangerous to attempt.
So convinced are the people who
now make this new invention that it
will heal rupture and bring instant
relief they will allow ten-day free
trial of the new appliance. In ten.
days, they believe any rupture suf@
ferer can tell whether or not it is
satisfactory in his or her particular
case. If it fails to give the comfort
that they feel it should it can be
returned.

especially where the old-fashioned
spring truss is used. The applica-
tion of the new Brooks appliance
might have resulted in saving the
mans life. The letter from his son
follows:
"Dear Mr.. Brooks: I am return
ing the rupture appliance for refund,
as father died from strangulated
hernia the day before it came.
I'VE tried two years ago to get
him to order one Of your appliances
and cannot help but feel that If he
had done as we wanted him to--he
would have been spared"

in moderate circumstances. The
cases have been general in all classes.
Heals the Aged
In their zeal to prove the worth
Of the new process, men and women
of advanced years were selected and
their experiences recorded. A probe
showed that even in this class a
great number of permanent recov-
cries had resulted, where the patient
followed closely the instructions of
the experts.
TO really understand what this
great discovery and these years Of
experimenting and testing mean to
humanity, it is almost necessary
that a full description of the new
method be given. Like all inven-
tions and discoveries of science, its
method Of healing is based on logic
and upon a keen knowledge of the
subject.
"A rupture VI u6IIld, do IL ~
known in medical science, is literally
a tear or a separation of the muscle
fibers in the walls of the abdomen.
This separation is caused by a heavy
strain, violent jerking or unusual
exertion. The fbers separate and
allow a portion Of the intestine to
protrude through the opening. This
results in a small knot or knob on
the wall of the abdomen.
Before the investigation, which re-
suited in the discovery of this new
method of healing, there were but
two courses open. A physician or
surgeon could be called and an op.
Grafton performed or the patient or
sufferer could seek some sort Of
comfort from a truss, which pushed
itself into the rupture opening, keep
ing the protruding intestine inside
the body.
All the surgeon with his knife
could promise to do was to bring
the edges of the torn section to-
gether and sew it, then await the
action of nature and allow growth
to renew the torn sections.
The Indianapolis times., 1927-02-04

Sir William Harvey, Eng
lish Scientist, Whose Dis
covery of the Circulatory
System Assisted SO Great
ly in Perfection of New
Medical Discovery Which
Heals Rupture.
The heavy springs in the usual
truss pressed into the body, many
times injuring the kidneys and caus-
ing irreparable damage to the back
where the heavy steel pressed into
the tender nerves, centered in the
spinal column. Besides this, so cruel
was the old-fashioned truss, it was
impossible to sleep in the apparatus,
with the result that in sleep many
times the rupture "came OUT and
could not be replaced. When this
happened an immediate operation
was necessary if the life of the pa
tient was to be saved. Peritonitis
would result in "a hours if the rup.
ture strangulated or could not be
replaced. The old truss was not
washable; it caused skin irritations
and the dirt which accumulated
caused a feverish condition which
rata rded healing
The great number of rupture cases
among the younger generation made
necessary some method which would
eliminate forever the pushing pad,
the dangerous operation and heavy
steel encircling the body, injuring
the delicate nerve centers.

work, the rupture is being healed.

Tentative plans for carrying on
broad program of dental research by

Dental Association were made at a
conference Monday between Surg,
Gen. Hugh S. Cumming. DIR. Henry
L. Banzhaf, president of the American

experts were present at the meeting
The American Dental Association

such a program. it is pointed out, and
It was with view to getting the Pub
lie Health Service to carry on such
work that Dr. Banzhaf, who also is
dean OF Marquette University at Mil.
waukee. came to Washington for the
conference.
According to tentative plans, DIR.
Cumming intends to ask for an appro-
priation Of about SIS, 900 to carry on
the proposed work, for which the Pub.
JIG Health Service has had no appro.
priation. If the appropriation is
granted, it Is said the work will prob
ably begin about the first Of next year.
Another conference was held by DR..
Banzhaf with DR.. George K. Burgess,
director of the Bureau of Standards,
who promised continued cooperation

research work Of a scientific mechani-
cal nature. Much has been accom-.

NUNGESSER'S NAME
ON NOTE IN BOTTLE
Boy Finds Flask Washed Ashore
at Newfoundland, Where
Plane Was Heard.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, July 10.
"A bottle containing bit Of paper
on which was scrawled "Nungesser-
Coli, help in French. was washed
ashore yesterday at Mikes Cove, Point
May, Newfoundland. The note, writ.
ten in pencil, was tightly corked in a
brandy flask and was found by Patrick
Cousins, a 14-year.old boy.
The finding Of the note In the bot
tie has revived hope that some trace
of the missing French flyers may yet
be found in this region, where numer-
Gus reports Of the planes having been
seen resulted in several searching ex.
petitions being sent out.
The boy f1shed the bottle out of the
land wash and had to break it to get
out the paper. The words We're writ

ported that the boys story of finding
it was genuine.
Mikes Cove, Point May, is at the ex-
treme end Of BURN Peninsula between
Fortune Bay and Placentia Bay, about
140 miles southwest of Harbor Grace,
where the first reports Of hearing an

and that will bring you back to
normal health. Now I will give you
a treatment"
This treatment was rather rough.
The doctor had nasty habit Of being
very gentle for few seconds, so that
the patient unconsciously relaxed and
got off his guard, when suddenly he
dug down hard, causing the patient
to gasp and vince. Every time the
patient jumped under one Of these
digs the doctor chanted. See? Very.
tender spot, there"
Then 1t was over. The patient was
told to see the nurse. The nurse had
a card ready to be filled out, a card
very much like a. meal ticket, with
numbered circles to be punched, one
punch for each treatment.
The price of the card was $40, for
six treatments, the doctor explaining
that after six treatments he would
let down a bit and make them more
infrequent. asked to have the tic
lures, for I wanted to show them to
my friends. But the doctor wanted
them for his records.
I decided that I would try another
school Of healing and get more in

had was enough for one day.
I went home and, like the con-
demned man, '.ate a hearty dinner"

What would have happened If I
hadn't?"
Have you ever seen these old men
who go around all bent over, like
this?"
Here the doctor demonstrated by
walking around, leaning painfully to
one side, his hand pressed against the
small of his back and visibly in ex-
IRENE anguish.
"Those men let it go too long. But
now, with modern science, we are
able to rectify the condition" he ex-
planned.
"How do you find those places on
my spine that are out of position?"
asked.

One Treatment "NO Good"
He suggested a treatment, which
followed. The patient was placed
face downward on a leather-covered
bench, while the doctor delivered a
series of vicious jabs here and there,
working the vertebrae back into
place" Then the patient was dis
missed, with the admonition that one
treatment was no good, and that six
more, at least, were necessary. He
mentioned. coincidentally, that he had

trouble I had.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Before start

The Department of Commerce.
through the kindness Of William P.

in arranging the tour and I want to
publicly thank the department and
Mr.. MacCracken for their invaluable
aid. And at this time l want to thank

and who have given me a welcome

UNFORTUNATELY, only a comparative.

on tour of this kind. Visits to many

and many local dates have been
missed unavoidably, although I would
personally like to have made them.
This trip is being undertaken in no
sense as personal journey. It is an
opportunity for me, as one interested
in forwarding aviation, to join with
local civilian gatherings all over the
country to promote the cause.
II hope such purpose will be ac-
complished, but it cannot be accom-.
plished by limited number Of people.
The great development, which will
make the United States take it's right

accomplished by the united efforts
