14 Without An Operation Wonderful Healing of Rapture How a New Jersey Man Got Rid of a Severe, Obstinate, Right Inguinal Hernia Without the Slightest Trouble. Below is a picture of Eugene M. Pullen, a well-known carpenter of Manasquan. New Jersey. If you could see him at his work, particularly when he handles heavy timber, jumps and climbs around like a youth, you would scarcely imagine that he had formerly been afllicted with a rup ture. Uik_. Ruptured in Right Side. At an early age, Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled rail road baggage. One day after deliver ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man noticed the swelling. The doctor told younsr Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must cither wear a truss throughout life or submit to a drastic operation. All siirgeons know that hernia operations, with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is a well established fact that many rupture operations are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through the sewed-up opening and protrudes worse than ever. Afraid of Operation. Like most others, Mr. Pullen de clined to take the risks of an opera tion; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get a little better encourage ment, he went to another physician who, to his sorrow, gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rupture were per fectly held all the time or the sur geon's knife successfully used, he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further compli cations, or the dreaded strangulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people. Victim of Trusses. The victim bought a truss, a hard, spring-like affair, the best he could get. It tortured him. He tried an other—still no relief. He was com pelled to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an insur ance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work. For six years Mr. Pullen dragged around, using various trusses, hard, clastic, etc., with never any content ment. One day his mother told him something she had just found out. It was a simple and easy thing for hint to do. He lost no time. Discarded His Truss. Relief came at once; ho almost for got that he had any rupture. After ward came a cure—a complete heal ing—and. although years have passed and Mr. Pullen is an energetic car penter, working on buildings, climbing over roofs .lilting lumber and such like, he is absolutely free from the old hernia. He knows he is completely, lastingly cured. There was no opera tion, no lost time, no trouble—com fort and contentment from the very outset. He is a strong, cheerful minded man. Valuable Information Free. The valuable information which Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper many years ago and gave to her son. t 'jether with further important facts, will be sent free to any reader of this who writes to Eugene 51. Pullen, 907 C Marcellus avenue, llanasquan, N. J„ enclosing a stamp for reply. Men tion the kind of rupture you have, whether on right or left side and what you have already done in your effort to cure it. A legion of cases of all kinds of rupture in men and wo men, including inguinal (groin), fe moral, navel, scrotal, etc.. have been reported completely healed. Age seems to make no difference.

Members , have been arriving this week since their confirmation and the first meeting; I wa.-i to have been held next week. At ] , that time, it is' understood, a chairman would be selected. Although no officials would confirm ! i the report of the resignation to-day, ] many privately expressed the opinion I that it was true. Mr. Baker was to i have gone to Pittsburgh yesterday to I speak before the National Foreign '■ Trade Council, but at the last moment : declined. Mr. Baker helped frame the shipping act and was one of its most ardent i champions before committees of Con- i press. He was named for a term -of ! five years. It has been said that Wll- I llam D. Denman, of San Francisco, I named for the six-year term, would be I made chairman of the board. Economic Preparedness For National Crisis Discussed by League Washington. D. C.. Jan. 27.

"How would we have fared through- ; out this nation's history if, instead of lighting our battles we had been asked to depend upon arbitration?" he asked.
