"A" Is tlio point of contact wltli
the abdominal wall.
"U" Is the resultant of the linen
of force front "A" to "R." It will
be readily seen that the truBs imd
with a convex surface spreads the
rupture apart, while that of a
concave surface brings the hernial
walla together.
Patent Applied For
A HOVE '
This truss has been highly recommended by all phyglclant and
surgeons who have seen It. It merits the attention of the profession
as It does w hnt no other truss, appliance, .plasters,, salves, lotions or
ncedje pricking can do.
In a short time It will be approved by the .Vnlted States Rtvern
incut. It Is far better In scientific mechanical principle than the Hoods
model, Howton Water Pad, New York Elastic or the trusa as wan fitted
to the 'ar of Itunsla or recommended by Sir Andrew Clarke, late phy
sician to the queen or thofo used by the Nw York Hospital for the
ruptured nor do we claim to t'l'HE A lU'ITl'HE IN TEN DAYS.
WHAT THIS TRUSS WILL DO
1 Diminish the sis of the rupture,
t which can l demonstrated by
an apparatus built especially for
the purpose by an export fitter.)
2 1'iiNltlvrly hold any rase of hernia
by enoapsulatlnf It (which others
fall to do, the minute thoy are
applied.)
3 ItrlnK In apposition the walls of
the hernial rlnsr, therefore alvina
nature a chance to brlns; shout

PADS CAHKOT do, because they
spread tho hernia apart.
4 will cause a aentle friction, there
by hrlii it a greater blood supply to
Die part and, according to nature's
law, n reparative process will be
thereby Induced.
What This Truss Will NOT Do
1 Induce a cure In a case of hernia
In ten minutes; If you expect this,
please do not take up an expert's
time.
S There are only TWO HITIODI
known whereby, a rupture can lie
relieved.' That Is, cither wear a
sensible truss or have a true surgi
cal operation.
a This truss WIX.I. HOT take the
place of a con petent surcreon, w ho
