If so, tho BROOKS APPLIANCE Is mado for You; You and all other Men, Women and Children who are sufferers from this annoying and dangerous trouble. That truss you have been wearing one of many you have tried chafed and irritated you and was worse than nothing. It had springs and pads and hafness and straps and fixings galore and was continually getting out of shape slipping down or working up and always needing attention. Then, there wero salves nnd washes and ointments to make tho case worse and harder to bear. I want to say that you will find none of these annoyances and vexations in tho BROOKS APPLI ANCE. At least' they aro reduced to a minimum. This APPLIANCE was mado with a view to eliminate, to do away with, just such. trouble. I would have been foolish t6 work half a lifotime, thinking out and perfecting a thing that had no adyantage or was not bet ter than scores of other inventions upon tho market. In my APPLIANCE you will find the old objectionable features LEIfT OUT. You will find It easy to wear. You will scarcely re alize you aro wearing it. There is no binding, drawing and slipping out of place. It does its work effectively and with comfort to the wearer. I want you to read my book, in which I have taken pains to give full particulars about ,it. Then, there are a few letters printed in it, selected at random from among hundreds written by men and wbmen who have been cured. You can write these folks and see what they say. If I were you I would see to this matter without waiting. You can put off some, things without running much risk, but a rupture is a dangerous proposition to neglect. A rupture is not only bad and serious of Itself, but It leads to thihgs Infinitely worse. Fill out coupon and mail TODAY. Tomor row will do, but today is better.

Now He Is As Sound and Whole Am If He Had Never Been Ruptured My appliance can be put on any child "with perfect safety to the little one. For growing children there is nothing better to bo had no matter how much you pay than my Appliance. I want tho parents or others who may have children in their caro to understand that there should be no delay In getting Proper help for ruptured children. Every day that tho rupturo is al lowed to go on without tho right means of correcting it just so much harder will it bo for tho child to get rid of it. No ruptured child can ever be free from the thought of tho rupturo and it is not fair to any child not to have an equal chanco with other children. No matter what wo may wish to think ruptured children do not have an equal chance. Common trusses do not help. Thousands of men and women know that from their own experience with such trusses. But it Is not necessary for children to wear harsh cumbersome, steel trusses any more. , You may have had to wear something like this but don't make your child do It. Give the child something better. My Appliance is better and I want to prove it to you. . I will make an Applianco to the child's measure, send It on TRlALr put it Into your hands to see and use--and then you can say whether it is what I claim or not. . The Automatic Air Cushion conforms with every movement of the child; there Is an even, gentle Pressure which grad ually binds tho broken parts together--as you would bind a broken limb-an; then no matter how much tho child jumps" runs, rolls over or falls down the pressure is kept up just the Fame always drawing the Prts together Write me today and Ret all the In formationsend tho coupon. Pennsylvania Man Thankful Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir: Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and havo always had trouble with It till I got your Appliance. It Is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and Is not In tho way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know I had it on; It Just adapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to bo a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was In. It would bo a veritable God-send to the unfortunates who suffer from rup turo if all could procure tho Brooks Rupturo Applianco and wear it. They would certainly never regret it. My rupturo Is now all healed up and nothing ever did It but your appliance. Whenever tho opportunity presents It self I will say a good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way In which you deal with ruptured peo ple. It is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am, yours very sincerely. JAMES A. BRITTON. 80 Spring St., Bethlehem, Pa.
