| TEXT | The famous "Elastic Truss and Supporter," the invention of Dr. G. V. House, since 1869 has been manufactured upon an extensive scale by the New York Elastic Truss Co., duly incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. This truss has permanently superseded all others, being adapted everywhere by the leading physicians, surgeons, and druggists; army and navy officials, hospitals, etc., etc. Dr. House is theactive and talented general superintendent, a gentleman of long practical experience, and a fully qualified college graduate. He has made most important improvements, and owing to the great demand the company has increased its facilities so as to enable them to sell at such low prices as to bring them within the means of all, at once the cheapest, as they are the very best, trusses and supporters in use in the world. The company employs the best surgical talent in the profession, and makes no charge for examination or advice, or a trial of any instrument at their office, while competent female assistants are always in attendance at the office. The elastic truss and abdominal supporter was introduced to supersede all metal and other trusses in use for the relief and cure of hernia, etc., and the success and universal satisfaction they have given, as well as the great number of radical cures they have effected, fully justify the high praise bestowed, and demonstrates conclusively that by wearing this truss, rupture can be surely cured without suffering or annoyance, and without the danger of incurring spinal disease or paralysis, often caused by the severe pressure of metal trusses and supporters. This elastic truss consists of an elastic band attached to a flexible body-brace with adjustable pads, and is worn night and day without any inconvenience whatever. They can be had at all prices ranging from two dollars up to letter "D" style, having gold plated trimmings and extra finished pads, undeniably the best and finest truss ever offered for sale. The Elastic Truss Company has received the highest premiums without an exception in all the exhibitions where their instruments have been exhibited. They were declared superior to all others by competent medical judges at the American Institute Fair, and also at the Cincinnati Industrial Exhibition, and wherever else shown. The company manufactures and keeps constantly on hand the finest line of elastic stockings, etc., at lower prices than quoted elsewhere, with a correspondingly large trade. The company's offices are most eligibly located at No. 744 Broadway, where a full line of trusses, etc., is on hand from which to select. Dr. House is a member of the medical profession, too well known and respected throughout the community to require further comment at our hands. G. V. House, M.D., General Superintendent |
