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 wi h it till 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 ihe
body and seemed to be a part of the body,
as it clung to the spot, no malter 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 Ap
pliance and wear it. They would cer
tainly 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 rupTired people. It is a pleas
ure to recommend a good thing among
your friends or strangers. I am,
Yours very sincerely,

Mr. C. E. Brooks,
Dear Sir:—l am glad to tell you that I
am now sound and well and can plough
or do any heavy work. I can say your
Appliance has effected a permanent cure.
Before getting your Appliance I was in a
terrible condi'ion and had given up hope
of ever being any better. If it hadn’t
been for your Appliance I would never
have been cured. I am sixty-eight years
old and served three years in Eckle’s Ar
tilery, Oglethorpe Co. I hope God will
reward you for the good you are doing
lor suffering humanity.
Yours sincerely,

the brethren said, “I do believe he

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 respecfully,

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)
I think in May, 1905. On November 20,
ister and to give His life a ransom
for many. Do you want a character
filly developed? Follow after love,
unselfish love. Do you want a society
fully developed? Follow after love,
unselfish love. Do you want a heaven
of absolute perfect on? Follow after
love, unselfish love in Jesus Christ
our Lord.
Let Diotrephes say ; “It is good for
me to love the pre-eminence.” Let Ju
das say: “It is good for me to bear
the bag.” Let Demas say: “It is good
for me to embrace the present
world;” but do thou, oh my soul! say
with David: “It is good for me to
draw near to God.” —Arrowsmith.
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
cured by the Brooks Discovery, which,
considering my age, 76 years, I regard as
remarkable.
Very sincerely yours,
High Point, N. C. SAM A. HOOVER.

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. Jle wore your
brace a little over four months and has
not worn it now for six weeks.
Yours very truly,

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance.
1. It is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today, and in
it are embodied the principles that invent
ors have sought after for years.
2. The Appl.ance lor retaining the rup
ture cannot be thrown out of position.
3. Being an air cushion or 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 comber
some or ungainly.
5. It is small, soft and pliable, and
" positively cannot be delected 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 me al 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 deal
ing with the public, and my prices are so
reasonable, my terms so fair, that there
certainly should be no hesitancy in send
ing 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
