IIHIS RUPTURE
Kansas City Doctor’s Discov
ery Makes Truss or Oper
ation Unnecessary
Kansas City, Mo.—(Special.)—A '
new discovery, which, experts agree, ,
i has no equal for curative effects in
■ all rupture cases, is the latest ac- ;
complishment of Dr. Andrews, the
well-known Hernia specialist of this I
, city. The extraordinary success of
j this new method proves that it holds
, and heals a rupture. It weighs only
: a few ounces. Has no hard, goug- i
ing pads, no elastic belt, no leg'
I straps, no steel bands, and is as
' comfortable as a light garment. It ;
' has enabled hundreds of persons
to throw away trusses and declare,
their rupture absolutely healed. j
Many of these had serious double
ruptures, from which they had suf
fered for years. It is Dr. Andrews’
ambition to have every ruptured per
son enjoy the quick relief, comfort
and healing power of his discovery,
and he will send it on free trial to
any reader of The Tri-Weekly Jour
nal who writes him at his office. 1
