DOES your ^HC^M

you from the jHr prnfj 



exercise which you J d m£/ 



used to enjoy when "^LJltjfeV L 



physically sound? mP*" 



There is a way by which 



you can enjoy the sports 



now denied you. It will 



be found in the Brooks 



Rupture Appliance. 



Many a ruptured person, with this aid, is 



following practically all of the pursuits of 



an entirely well individual. 



^Because the Brooks Rupture Appliance is made 

 to the individual measure of the wearer, it fits per- 

 fectly. Because it fits perfectly it gives complete 

 support to the injured portions, permitting one to 

 enjoy any exercise not too violent. Because of its 

 soft pneumatic cushion, it adheres to the flesh and 

 slipping is impossible. 



Ordered by War Department 



The Brooks Rupture Appliance has been ordered 

 for the past nine years by the United States Depart- 

 ment of War. The Surgeon-General in referring to 

 the Appliance states that the Examining Surgeons 

 have "certified in each case that the Appliance was 

 satisfactory." Hundreds of Brooks Rupture Appli- 

 ances have been sold to the War Department, but 

 never has one been returned to us as unsatisfactory. 



It will be very easy for you to obtain one of these 

 appliances on free trial to test its worth. If you are 

 not entirely satisfied with it your money will be 

 cheerfully refunded. And the price you will find to 

 be remarkably low. Remember, we are a sanitar- 

 ium, not a factory.
