RU The GENUiNE BROOKS’ APPLIANCE always shows the picture of Mr. C. E. Brooks, together with his signature in gold. This is our TRADE-MARK and no appli- ance of any kind must be sold for a BROOKS without this trade-mark. AL- WAYS LOOK FOR IT FIRST. g THE SEATTLE STAR Joyful News for the _ Many Thousands Report Their Ruptures CURED Men, Women and Children—All Ages—All Walks of Life Cured The New Improved Brooks Appliance ei Proves Itself by Far the Greatest Invention of the Age for the Treatment and n Retention of Rupture. An Entirely New Principle. Nothing Like a “Truss,” If you are wearing a steel or hard rubber spring truss, or an elastic with hard pad, you are not only suffering unnecessary inconvenience and discomfort but you are also making it almost impossible for your. rupture to ever grow smaller or heal. And if you have a rupture on one side only and are wearing an old-fashioned spring truss, you will almost surely develop another rupture on the other side. These are facts that EVERY RUPTURED PERSON SHOULD KNOW, and that can easily be verified by asking any physician in the country who treats rupture. The BROOKS’ APPLIANCE is the ONLY meth- od of FIRMLY HOLDING A RUPTURE—NO MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU MAY BE IN OR HOW STRENUOUS YOUR WORK MAY BE. The BROOKS’ APPLIANCE has no springs, either metal or hard rubber. Ifhas no hard pad but uses a soft, automatic air cushion made of rubber and yielding to the slightest touch. This cushion U clings firmly to the place of rupture—not because of great pressure (as in a truss), but because of its shape and the manner in which it is held to the body. The Appliance weighs but a few ounces and is so small that even tight fitting evening clothes give no indication of its being worn. Every BROOKS’ APPLIANCE IS MADE TO ORDER FROM THE CUSTOMER’S MEASURE- MENTS, AND IT IS SOLD TO YOU ON FREE TRIAL, WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO RETURN IT IF YOU DO NOT FIND IT EVERYTHING YOU COULD WISH IN PERFECTION AS A SUPPORT FOR RUPTURE. YET THE PRICE IS MUCH LESS THAN ANY “TRUSS” OR OTHER DEVICE YOU EVER BOUGHT. No matter where you were fitted or who advised your present truss, the chances are 19 out of 20 that you would be MORE COMFORTABLE AND BETTER OFF IN EVERY WAY if you were wearing a BROOKS’ APPLIANCE. In addition to GUARANTEEING YOU PER- FECT COMFORT, THE BROOKS’ APPLIANCE ACCOMPLISHES THE LARGEST NUMBER OF QUICK AND FINAL CURES OF ANY OTHER RUPTURE SUPPORT IN THE WORLD. So you have EVERY reason for sending your name for our booklets and instructions for measure- ments, _ Don’t “pass up” this opportunity now and regret it later—as Mr. Cunningham, of Detroit, did, and who now says: : “I have purchased a Brooks’ Rupture Appliance and it certai is the grandest thing I ever saw. I pe i i and as avail, ve been harnessed for ten years with the y truss and since I got Mr. Brooks’ Appliance, I don’t see how I ever stood the makeshift trusses that some concerns manufacture. “Some men may invent automobiles, airplanes and radios, but I consider Mr. Brooks one of the greatest inventors that is known. “I cannot recommend this Appliance too highly, for all I could say would not do it justice and I am willing to give testimony to any would-be purchaser, for it is worth ten times the ridiculous low price which you sell it for.” Very respectfully yours, L, B.
