We four sons have all had the benefit of our father's forty years of experience. And the youngest of us has now had seventeen years of individual experience.
And here, day-after-day, we have dealt with rupture in all its forms and stages.
Altogether, at this writing, we have treated, by mail and in person, over 290,000 cases.
All kinds, from infants in their mothers' arms to men and women over sixty and seventy. Among them some of the worst cases on record.
We have made impartial, fair-and-square tests of every known method of treatment.
We have had experience with all kinds of medical applications, and all kinds of mechanical appliances.
We have fitted belt and spring trusses in all their variations. We long ago found just why they all fail to hold or relieve rupture—just why they usually cause the wearer untold torture.
We have had the co-operation of some of this country's most noted physicians and surgeons.
We have studied the effects and watched the results in hundreds of operations.
We have found just why operations are frequently fatal. Why they are nearly always dangerous. And why the rupture frequently breaks out anew, after the operation apparently heals.
