In this Truss the principle hitherto bo greatly desired has at last been achieved, that of firmly and constantly hold ing the rupture with a gentle hand-like pressure. It does not pass around the hip like other trusses, bnt over the hips, the silver wire lying in the hollow of side, thereby allowing the free movement of the hips and limbs, allowing tbe wearer to stride out freely, and doing away with tbe fear and dread that something will go wrong that usually attends the wearing of other trusses. Its lightness is featherweight in comparison with other trusses. It is so iiirht the wearer scarcely knows he has anything on, and this is a great comfort, enab ling the wearer to forget his ailments. nr v. ... i i-- , i i.-.. i - h-. " Tie Dalles, Or.
