Throw Away your Truss!
uptured?
For Many Years We Have Been Telling You That No Truss Will Ever Help You—We Have Told You The Harm That Trusses Are Doing׳. We Have Told You That The Only Truly Comfortable And Scientific Device For Holding Rupture is the BROOKS RUPTURE APPLIANCE—And That It Is
Sent on Trial to Prove It
Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks Rupture Appliance
1.	It is absolutely the only Appliance 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.	It is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing.
6.	The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness.
7.	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 cutting and bruising the flesh.
9.	All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy, making it a durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10.	My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending free coupon today.
Pennsylvania Man Thankful

JMr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir¿—Perhaps it will interest you
know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it till I got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know I had it on : it just a-dapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in.
It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture if a 1 1 could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly never regret it.
My rupture is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents itself I will say a good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured people. It is a pleasure t * recommend a good thing among your friends or ¡strangers. I am,
Yours very sincerely,
JAMES A. BRITTON.

SOUNDLY CURED
AT THE AGE OF 81
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir:—
Less than a year ago I sent to you for an appliance which j came promptly. I at once put it on and it fitted perfectly. I have worn the appliance not quite 10\i!
I months. It has cured my rupture.
I tried the other I day while the appliance was off, to see J if I could force anything out of the I opening to make a break there, but I j could not though I I tried hard, j Now I think this quite remarkable as 1 I am in my eighty-first year. I am an old veteran of the Civ l War, born and raised in the town of New Boston, State of New Hampshire, from which place I enlisted in the 10th N. H. Vol. Inft. in Co. C, commanded by Col. M. T. Donahue.
T cannot feel but that I owe you this testimony, for I had never expected to be cured. H >wever, thanks be to God, I found a cure through the valuable appliance you made for me.
Your friend,
Holly Hill, Fla.	E. A. RICHARDS.
CURED WITHOUT OPERATION
“Was Sure He Would Be A Cripple”
Veteran Cured
Kansas, 111.
Mr. Wm. McAdams, of Kansas, 111., is a veteran , of Co. ״H” 59th Regt., 111. | Vol. of which he was 2nd Lieutenant.
He has fought against the suffering and torment of Rupture for years and has finally won the victory as the following brief letter tells Mr. C. E. Brooks.
Mar hall, Mich.
Dear Sir:—I laid your Appliance aside March 2nd and have not worn it for twenty-five years, for I ׳¡g think that I am cured. I hope that I may never have to wear it again.
Yours truly,
WM. McADAMS,
Ada, Mir.n.
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
D ar Sir:—
Enclosed is a picture of my children, and the little man you see seated on the chair is the one who was cured by your Appliance.
He had been rup* ture*! quite a while before we wrote you, and I was sure that he would be a cripple the rest of his life.
However, some helping hand showed me an ad. ־'u a newspaper. with the result that he was in per-ffvt health through the wearing of a Brooks Appliance for just three months.
The doctor advised an operation, which I would not consent to. Your advice was to put an Air Cushion Appliance on him, and I must say that it is worth ten times what it cost.
I wish you could have seen him before we used the Appliance and now, when he is fully as sound as anyone could be.
I cannot thank you too much for what you have done for my boy.
Yours respectfully,
Oliver Hanson. I
