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 have always had trouble
with it till I got your Appliance. It
Is very easy to wear, fits neat and
snug, and is not in the 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, as it clung to the spot no
matter what position I was in.
It would be a veritable God-send
to the unfortunate who suffer from
rupture if all could procure the
Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear
it. They would certainly never re
gret it
My rupture is now all healed up
and nothing ever did It but your Ap
pliance. whenever the opor^unity
presents itself I will say a good
word for your Appliance, and also
the honorable way in which you
deal with ruptured people. It is a
pleasure to recommend a good thing
among your friends or strangers.
I am.
Yours very sincerely,
JAMES A. BRITTON.

rupture cannot be thrown out of
position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber it clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irrita
tion.

pads, used in other trusses, it is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
5. It is small, soft and pliable,
and positively cannot be detected
through the clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands holding
the Appliance do not give one tho
unpleasant sensation of wearing a
harness.
t. mere is notning aDOUt it to
fret foul, and when It becomes soiled
t can be washed without Injuring
it in the least.
8. There are no metal springs la
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
9. All of the material of which th*
Appliances are made is of the very}
best that money can buy, making
it a durable and safe Appliance to

fair dealing is so thoroughly estab
lished by an experience of over
thirty vears of dealing with the pub- rf/L
lie, and our prices are so reasonable. JK1

tainly should be no hesitancy to
