had to run away. The only consolation my good mother had was that the
man did not die, but I never saw her again. She’s up thar with your mother,
and when that shot goes ringin’ through the canyons of heaven, she’ll hear
it, Jack, and it’ll tell her that her wild boy has signed the pledge at lapt.
There’s my hand. I swear to God an’ mother an’ you I’ll never touch the
poison stuff again.’ And he never did.”
And, concluding, Captain Jack said: “Gentlemen, that is the story I told
at the Boston banquet, and the beautiful young lady thanked me and took my
hand. It is my own story, and, because it is true is why I am alive today.
And when, two years later, I visited Bill’s home, his good wife said, ‘God
bless you, Capt. Jack, for getting my wild boy to make that pledge. Bill calls
it “A Shot for Temperance.’ ”

Pennsylvania
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 until 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 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 veritable God-send to the
unfortunate who suffer 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
ever di(l it but your Appliance.
M henever the opportunity presents itself
1 will say a good word for your Appliance,
and also the honorable way in which you
deal with ruptured people. It is a pleas
ure to recommend a good thing among
your friends or strangers. I am,
Yours very sincerely,
OA „ . JAMES A. BRITTON.

Others Failed But
the Appliance Cured
-Mr. C. E. Brooks.
Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir: —
Your Appliance did all you claim for
the little boy and more, for it cured him
sound and well. We let him wear it for
about a year in all, although it cured him
3 months after he had begun to wear it.
We had tried several other remedies, and
got no relief, and I shall certainly recom
mend it to friends, for we surely owe it
to you. Yours respectfully,

Cured at the Age of 76
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir: —
I began using your Appliance for the
cure of rupture (I had a pretty bad case)
1 think, in May, 1905. On November 20,
1905, I quit using it. Since that time I
have not needed or used it. I am well of
rupture and rank myself among those cur
ed by the Brooks Discovery, which, con
sidering my age, 76 years, I regard as re
markable.
Very sincerely yours,
High Point, N. C. SAM A. HOOVER.

Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir: —The baby’s rupture is alto
gether cured, thanks to your appliance, and
we are so thankful to you. If we could
only have known of it sooner our little
boy would not have had to suffer near as
much as he did. He wore your brace a
little over four months, and has not worn
it now for six weeks. Yours very truly

COULD NOT WRITE.
Versailles, Ky.—Mrs. Elisha Green,
of this place, says. “I could not write
all the different pains I had, when I
first tried Cardui. I could scarcely
walk. Now I am able to run the sew r
ing machine and do my work; and
my neighbors tell me the medicine
must be good, for I look so much bet
ter.” Cardui is a specific, pain-reliev
ing, tonic remedy, for women. In the
past 50 years it has been found to re
lieve woman’s unnecessary pains, and
female misery, for which over a mil
lion suffering women have successfully
used it. Try Cardui for your troubles.
It will help you. At the nearest drug
store.
Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks Rup
ture Appliance
1. It is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today, and in it
are embodied the principles that inventors
have sought after for years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the rup
ture 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 irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used in other trusses, it is not cumber
some 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
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 Ap
pliances 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 thirty years of dealing
with the public, and my prices are so rea
sonable, my terms so fair, that there cer
tainly should be no hesitancy in sending
free coupon today.
Remember
I send my Appliance on trial to prove
what I say is true. You are to be the
judge. Fill out free coupon below and
