Every Day That You Suffer from Rupture Every Hour of Truss Torture that You Endure After You Read This Page, IS YOUR OWN FAULT.

"CURED BY THE BROOKS DISCOVERY" At the Age of 76
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir:
I began using your kv
Appliance for the cure of rupture (I had a pretty bad case) I 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 cured by the Brooks Discovery, which, considering my
age, 76 years, I regard as remarkable. Very sincerely yours, SAM A. HOOVER. High Point, N. C.
OTHERS FAILED, BUT THE APPLIANCE CURED
Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir:., .-.:.,,-v,--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 recommend it to friends, for we surely owe it to you. Yours respectfully, WM. PATTERSON. No. 717 South Main St., Akron, O.

WITHIN AN HOUR After You Receive Your Brooks Rupture Appliance, You Will Have THROWN AWAY YOUR TRUSS FOREVER. For Many Years We Have Been Telling You That No Truss Will Ever Help You. We Have Told You the Harm That Trusses Are Doing. We Have Told You that the ONLY Truly Comfortable, Sanitary and Scientific Device for Holding Rupture is the BROOKS RUPTURE APPLIANCE. Now We Are Offering to Send You This Appliance ON TRIAL to Prove It.
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 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 the body and b "jfVt. seemed to be a Dart of Ir'' -J" 5
the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable GoS-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly 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 ruptured people. It is a pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am, Yours very sincerely, JAMES A. BRITTON. 80 Spring St., Bethlehem, Pa
"Didn't Know He Had It On"
Brings Instant Relief, Perfect Safety and Everlasting Comfort
The Brooks Rupture Appliance is beyond question the most universally endorsed appliance of any kind in the world for the retention and cure of a ruptured condition in men, women and children. It is the result of more than 30 years' experience and the percentage of actual cures effected by its use is a little short of miraculous. The Brooks Appliance has so many imitators, that It is never sold in drug stores, or in any other way than by mail, direct from the maker. This is further necessary because every Brooks Appliance is especially made and fitted for the case for which it is intended. Many hundreds of Physicians and Surgeons recommend the Brooks Appliance and condemn trusses as more harmful than almost any other method of retaining or treating rupture. You may not think that a rupture appliance can ever be truly comfortable" but that is because you have never tried Brooks'.

Ten Reasons Why YOU SHOULD SEND FOR THE 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 inventors have sought after for years.
2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture 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 cumbersome 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 Appliances 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 reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending the free coupon today.
"Seems Impossible" Holland, Indiana. Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir:
Having used one of your Appliances until it was worn out. I have been going without it for
nearly a year and have not been
troubled the least bit with my rup
ture, so I am well satisfied I am cured. It seems nearly impossible, but I have gone through a summer's work on a farm without one and have not been troubled. I was born ruptured and never wore a truss until I was 21 years of age, and got your Appilance. If I ever need another one I shall send in my order. Yours truly, BARNEY OSKINS, R. F. D. No. 7.
Ruptured at Sixty-Six Now Cured Grafton, W. Va. Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. Dear Sir: Yours of March 27, 1916, to hand and in reply would say that four years ago, when I was 66 years old, " I ruptured myself badly. Seeing your advertisement and needing something to help me, I ordered one of your Appliances. I used it for one year, when some parts of it gave away, so I took it off and ordered some repairs, from you. I went without any support until they came and I found that I did not need anything so I did not use it any more. '. " To my surprise, I was wholly cured and have been ever since whiqh has been about 3 years, sound as I ever was. Respectfully, E. L. RECTOR. 31 Main St.
Cured Without Operation 'Was Sure He Would Be a Cripple' Ada, Minn. Mr. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich.
Dear Sir: Enclosed is a picture of my children, and the little man you see seated on the chair is the one who was cured b your Appliance. He had
been ruDtur l.r'- gi.TiTs,
ed quite a wnno betore we wrote you, and I was sure that he would be a cripple the rest of his life. However, some helping hand showed me an ad. in a newspaper, with the result that he was in perfect health through the wearing of a Brooks Appliance lor just three months. The doctor advised an operation which I would not consent to. Vnnr advice was to put an Air
Cushion Appliance on him, and I
must say that it is worm len
times what it cost.
I wish you could have seen him before we used the Appliance and now. when he is fully as sound as
anyone could be.
I cannot thank you too mucn for what you have done for my boy. Yours respectfully, OLIVER HANSON
Cured Him Now Recom
mends It to Friend j Elephant Butte, N. Mex. C. E. Brooks, Marshall, Mich. I Dear Sir! I
Some time ago I wrote you asking for literature on your trusses for infants. I received it in due time. . This literature I gave to a friend of mine who had a child with rupture. In 1907 I was ruptured myself, and by wearing one of your Appliances was completely cured. I was ruptured for two years and nothing would hold me until I sent fon your Appliance. It gave me such a complete cure and I feel so grateful to you, that when I found my friend here had a ruptured child, my .first thought was of a Brooks Appliance. He purchased one. of them and his child now wears it and 6ays it is very comfortable and sure holds
the rupture up. ' I am still grateful for your help and recommend your Appliance whenever opportunity arises. Respectfully, 5 :" CARL D. DONA VAN. -
