A small rupture is more dangerous than a la ge one but is more readily held in place. Quite a number of persons who have been fitted by us have been entirely cured, but this is not al ways the case. The sooner we have them visit us after finding they are ruptured the more hope of a complete cure. We make a specialty of Trusses for both ladies and gentlemen, and give di rections for private measurement for the former. Al! cases consid ered strictly private. Buying Trusses by mail from some person who says he can cure you is on a paralell with the number of cures there are for consumption. If you have had trouble in being fitted elesewhere let us try what we can do tor you. C. Iti, BOYD, Pharmacist, Diamond Block, - Butler, Pa. *pHK BCTLKR COUNTY NATIONAL BANK, BL-TLKK. .PA.
