Dear Sir:
Having used one of your Appliances
until it was worn out, I have been

have not been troubled the least bit

have gone through a Summer's work
on a farm without one and have not
been troubled.
I was born ruptured and never wore
truss until I was 21 years of age.

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for the
Brooks Rupture Appliance
1. It Is absolutely the only Ap
pliance of the kind on the market to
day, and in it are embodied the prin
ciples that inventors bave sought after
for years. ,
2. The Appliance for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out of post,
tlon.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rub-
ber it clings closely to the body, yet
never blisters or causes irritation.
. 4. Cnlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used in other trusses, it is not cum
bersome or ungainly.
. 6. 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 a
harness.
. 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. Ail of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very best
that money can buy, making it a
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing Is so thoroughly established
by an experience of over 30 years of
dealing with the public and my prices
are so reasonable, my terms so fair.
that there certainly should be no hesi
tancy in sending the free coupon to
day.
Cannot Say Too Much
Poddsville, Miss.
C. E. Brooks. Marshall. Mich.
Dear Sir:
Your Appliance cured me sound and

I feel like a man again and I am
telling all ruptured men to write to
you.
Many thanks for your goodness. 1
cannot say too much for you.

which I would not consent to. Your
advice was to put an Air Cushion Ap
pliance on him. and I must say that
it Is worth ten times what it cost.
I wish you could have seen him be

when he is fully as sound as anyone

Pennsylvania Man Thankful
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear S:r: Perhaps it will Interest you to
know tjiat I have been ruptured six years
and have always had trouble with it till I
grot 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 and
seemed to be a part of
the body, as it clung to
the spot, no matter
what position I was in.
It would be a verit
able Godsend to the
unfortunate who suf
fer from rupture if all
could procure the
Brooks Rupture Appli
ance and wear It. They
would certainly never
regret It.

My rupture is now all healed up and
nothing ever did it but your Appliance.
Whenever the opportunity 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,

Brings Instant Relief,

and
Everlasting Comfort
The Brooks Rupture Appli
ance Is beyond question the
most universally Indorsed ap
pliance of any kind In the
world for the retention and
core of a ruptured condition
In men, women and children.
It Is the result of more than
30 years' experience and the
percentage . of actual cures,
effected by Its use Is a little
short of miraculous.
The Brooks Appliance haa
so many Imitators that It Is
never sold In drug stores, or
In any other way than by
mall, direct from the maker.
This Is further necessary be
cause every Brooks Appliance
la especially made and fitted
for the case for which It Is
Intended.
Many hundreds of Physi
cians and Surgeons recom
mend the Brooks Appliance
and condemn trusses aa more
harmful than almost any
other method of retaining or
treating: rupture.
Y'ou may not think that a
rupture appliance can ever be
truly "comfortable" but that
Is because you have never
tried Brooks'.
