I No. 7. Ten Reasons Why-. You Should Send for the Erooks Rupture Appliance 1. It is absolute' the only Appliance Appli-ance of tlie kind on the market today and in it are embodied the principles that inventors have sought after f oi years. 2. The Appliance for retaining Uu rupture cannot be thrown out of position. posi-tion. 3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber, rub-ber, it clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pad, 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 the unpleasant un-pleasant sensation of wearing a harness. 7. There is nothing about it to get foul, and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 8. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best ; that money can buy, making it a durable dura-ble and safe Appliance to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dcaliDg is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so tair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending the free coupon today.
