HSPIflE NEW METHOD of TI6EAT- 
n I1VG RUPTURE.— It is a comparatively short 
time since the Elastic Truss Company introduced the new 
method of treating Rupture which iB now so universally 
adopted by the well-informed portion of the community. 
No Ruptured person who has once seen the new Elastic 
Truss sold so cheap at 683 Broadway, New York, would wear 
any of the old-fashioned met.al or “finger-pad” torturing 
spring trusses any sooner than he would wear copper-seated 
trousers with sheet-iron knees riveted down the seams. The 
new Elastic Truss will hold the worst cases of Rupture ab¬ 
solutely secure with perfect ease and freedom from incon¬ 
venience. It readily adapts itself to every motion of the 
body, still holding the Rupture during the hardest exercise 
or severest strain in horseback riding, in pitching hay, etc. 
If directions are followed a perfect and permanent cure 
will lie gradually hut surely effected. Full descriptive cir¬ 
culars, with abundant testimonials, will he sent on applica¬ 
tion to the Elastic Truss Co., No. 683 Broadway, New York 
City—who send this new and wonderfully effective Truss by 
mail if desired.
