tee of the club for action. Follow
ing this W. W. Metz of Nebraska

speak, which he did and recalled
when forty years ago he was the
teacher of the Stringtown school,

Weeping Water north of the pumping
station. He recalled many of the
instances which the speaking here
brought to mind, and found that he
bad a number of his former scholars
in these who were eating and listen
ing to his address.
Mr. Metz who was for some thirty
seven years a clerk on the railway
mail service and was pentioned three
years ago, counseled charity among
the members of the club and said,
be on terms as will enable you to
call across the street to your com

reply "Hello John, how is business."
It is hy a spirit of charity that we
can succeed the best said the speaker.

Mr. C. F. Redlich, the successful
expert says:
The "Perfect Retention Shields"
hold the rupture perfectly, no mat
ter what position the body assumes
or how heavy a weight you lift.
They give instant relief, contract
the opening in a remarkably short
time and strengthen the weak tis
sues (the real cause of rupture) so
that they frequently recover their
previous natural retaining power,
needing no further outside support.
Stomacli trouble, backache and con
stipation often caused by Rupture
promptly disappear.
Truly remarkable and prompt re
sults have beenobtained not only
with recent and not fully developed
ruptures but also with old, loijg ne
glected ones.
Ingenious, recently perfected de
vices are now holding ruptures firm
ly which heretofore never had been
retained.
No elastic belts nor filthy leg
straps are used.
I guarantee the durability of my
absolutely sweat and moisture proof
sanitary appliances.
75 of ruptured children recover
completely through expert mechani
cal treatment according to statis
tics. Do not waste your money on
widely advertised mail order con
traptions. You cannot fit yourself.

Your attention is called to the last
