Price’s METALLIC 1 RUSS, (LATEST IMPROVEMENT,) 7 For the immediate relief and radical cvre of all or either of the following varieties of HERNIA, {Rupture,) to wit: Scrotal, Femora!, Inguinal, Ventral, or Umbilical. Tiie Subscriber having purchased thg right and privilege of applying and within the county ot Wilkes, this instrument for the radical cure immediate relief of all per sons the unfortunate subjects of either of ’T.o above mentioned diseases, embraces an ear ly opportunity of informing such, that they can be re'ieied from this distressing malady by ma king eany application. Trusses, ot sizes suitable for every variety of case, will he kept constantly on hand and applied at a reasonable Tice. The inventor of this new and valuable Truss in his remarks on the subject says: “Having cored extensive ruptures of eighteen years standing, and given immediate relief, in a considerable number of carps, in old and in young persons, wiio are now either entirely well, or re lieved from all inconvenience from this distress ing and dangerous malady ; persons thus allect ed, who have not heretofore had an opportunity of availing themselves of its substantial benefits, that of immediate relief and ultimate radical cure, i will doubtless how do so. My Patent Metallic Truss combines the ad vantages of all other Trusses, without their in conveniences ; and is equally applicable to the five different varieties of Rupture enumerated, and can he worn night and day with comtort and convenience; and it the patient be prudent and regards ins health, effectually prevents the es cape of the Viscera. The steel spring Truss, it is well known, cannot be worn at night, and t onsequefltly, a’ great deal of time is lost by that circumstance. The celebrated Mr. Cooper says in his surgical work upon the subject of the ap plication and use of the Truss, that, “Whoever wears a Truss, should be careful to employ it day and night, without it mission, so that there may be no opportunity for the Hernia to protrude again; for experience has put it beyond all doubt, that by the continual unremitted use of a Truss, and the retention of the contents of the Hernia, the neck of the sack and the ring may be gradually lessened in diameter, until they are orn irely closed, and a radical cure of the rup ture effected.”—This is now ihe opinion of all Surgeons of respectability, and with my Truss, this important injunction of one and all oi the most distinguished Medical men in the world, can tie complied with. In offering my Truss to the afflicted cf Rup ture, I do it confidently, believing, from actual experience in my own person, and that of ivany others, that it is the most valuable instrument ever presented for their use. My opinion upon this subject is corroborated by that of all Physi cians who have examined it, and had an oppor tunity of knowing of the success I have had in relieving and curing ruptures of different kinds.” Various certificates from Physicians of the highest character could be produced in relation to the superiority of this Truss over all others yet presented to the public; but I forbear, and trust that all those who are thus afflicted, will test the value of the instrument by availing them selves of its immediate application. It is simple, convenient, and valuable indeed. JAMES VV. PRICE, n. r. Washington, Dec. 10, 1840. 15—2 t TO PRINTERS & PUBLISHERS.
