MAN THANKFUL
Mr. C. 13. Brooks,
, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir:
Perhaps it will interest you to 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
Js 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
tho shape of the body and seemed to
be a part of the body, as it clung to tho
spot, no matter what position I was in.
It would be a veritable God-send to
the unfortunate who suffer from rup
ture if all could procure tho Brooks
Rupture Appliance and wear it. They
i.ii nnftnlfilv nfiver recrret It.
My rupturo is now all healed up and
nothing ever did it but your Appliance.
Whenever the 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.

Gentlemen:
I feel it my duty to let you, and also
all people afflicted as I was. know what
your Appliance has done for me. I have
been ruptured for many years and have
worn many different trusses, but never
got any relief until I got your Appli
ance. I put it on last November, but
had very little faith in it, but must

say I am now cured. I have laid it
away have had it off for two weeks
and doing all kinds of farm work with
ease. While I was wearing it, I had
Iagrlppe and coughed a great deal but
It held all right. Words cannot ex
press my gratitude towards you and
your Appliance. Will recommend It to
all ruptured people.
Yours sincerely, ,

Others Failed -But
the Appliance Cured
C. E. Brooks,
Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir: , ,
Your Appliance did all you claim for
the little boy and more, for it cured
him sound and well. We let him wear
It for about a year In all, although it
cured him 3 months after he had be
gan to wear it. We had tried several
other remedies and got no relief, and
I shall certainly recommend it to
friends, for we surely owe it to you.
Yours respectfully.

Cured at the Age of 76
Mr. C E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir:
I began using your Appliance for the
cure of rupture (I had a pretty bad
case) I think In May, 190G. On Novem
ber 20, 1905, I quit using it. Since that
time I have not needed or used it. I
am well of rupture and rank myself
among those cured by the Brooks Dis
covery, which, considering my age, 76
years. I regard as remarkable.
Very sincerely yours,
Jamestown, N. C. SAM A. HOOVER.

Gentlemen: The baby's rupture Is
altogether cured, thanks to your appli
ance and we are so thankful to you.
If we could only have known of It
sooner our little boy would not have
had to suffer near as much as he did.
Ho wore your brace a little over four
months and has not worn It now for six
weeks. Yours very truly,
ANDREW EGGENBERGER. "
