MJMH 4-9 I t an Operation Wonderful Healing of Ruptur How New Jersey Man Got Rid of a Severe, Obstinate, Right In guinal Hernia Without the Slight est Trouble. Below is a picture of Eugene M. Pullen, a well-known carpenter of Manasquan, New Jersey. If you could see him at his work, particularly when he handles heavy timber, jumps and climbs around like a youth, you would scarcely imagine that he had former ly been afflicted with a rupture. Ruptured in Right Side. At an early age, Eugene Pullen m 1 a v was an express driver, ne nanaiea railroad baggage. One day after de livering a heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young .man notic ed the swelling. the doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must either wear a truss throughout life or submit to a drastic operation. All Burgeons know that hernia operations with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is a well established fact that many rupture operations are not success ful; the bowel soon breaks through the sewed-up opening and protrudes worse than ever. Afraid of Operation. Like most others, Mr. Pullen de clined to take the risks of an opera tion; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get a little better encourage ment, he went to another physician, who, to his sorrow, gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rupture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeon 3 knife successfully used, he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further compli cations, or the dreaded strangulated hernia, which kills so many ruptured people. Victim of Trusses. The victim bought a truss, a hard. spring-like affair, the best he -could get. . It tortured him. He tried an other still no relief. He was compel led to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an 'insur ance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work. For six years Mr. Pullen dragged around, using various trusses, hard, elastic, etc., witn never any content ment. One day his mother told him something she had just found out. It was a simple and easy thing for him to do. tie lost no time. Discarded His Trust. Relief came at once : he almost for got that he had any rupture. After ward came a cure a complete heal ing and, although years have passed and Mr. Pullen is an energetic car penter, working on buildings, climb ing over roofs, lifting lumber and such like, he is absolutely free from the old hernia. He knows he is com pletely, lastingly cured. There was no operation, no lost time, no trou ble comfort and contentment from the very outset. He is a strong, cheerful-minded man.
