It is absolutely the only Appli ance of the kind on the market today, and in it are' embodied the principles that inventors have sought after for years. !. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown "out of posi tion. - 3. Being an air cushion of soft rub ber. It clings closely 'to the body, yet never blisters or causes Irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used In other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungainly. S. 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 un pleasant sensation of wearing & bar ness. 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 spring3 In the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of whh h the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy, making It a dur able and safe Appliance 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 public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending the free coupon today.
