However, some helping hand showed me an ad. in a newspaper, with the result that he was in perfect health through the wearing of a Brooks Ap pliance for just three months. The doctor advised an operation, which I would not consent to. Your advice was to put an Air Cushion Ap pliance on him. and I must say that it Is worth ten times what it cost. I wish you could have, seen him be fore we used the Appliance and now, when he is fully as sound as anyone CI1cane'not thank you too much for what you have done for my boy. , Yours respectfully, Ada.

TPLLMAN. I REMEMBER TEN REASONS WHY Yon Khuulil Hcni! fr Brook Itiiptaro Appliance 1. It Ih absolutely the only Appllanco of the kind on the tnurkft today, and n It are embodied the principles that Inventors havo sought after for yrnro. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot bo thrown out of por tion. 3. Holng an air cimhlon of soft rub ber It clings closely to the body, yet never blister or causes Irritation. 1. Unlike tho ordinary so-called pads, UHed In other trusses, It la not cumber some or ungainly. fi Tt In mritl mnft nml n1ltilln nn.1 positively cannot be detected through the clothing. C. The soft, pliable bands holding tho Appllaneo do not glvo one the unpleas ant sensation of wearing a harness, 7. There Is nothing about It io got foul, and when It becomes soiled It can be washed without Injuring It In the least. 8. There are no metal springs In Iho Appliance to torturo ono by cutting and bruising the flcf.Ii. 9. All of tho material of which tho Appliances are made Is of tho very bpt that money ran buy, making It a dur able find Fafe Apnllanco to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and, fair dealing Is so thoroughly estab lished by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the publle, nnd my prices aro so reasonable, my trms ho fair, that .there certainly should bo no hesitancy In sending free coupon to day.
