Rupture Need Not 
Keep You From 
Your 
Favorite 
Sport 
D 
,OES your 
rupture bar 
you from the 
exercise which you 
used to enjoy when 
physically sound? 
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.
