This Instrument is CERTAIN TO CURE all the above named diseases, WHERE A CURE IS POSSIBLE. It can be worn with perfect ease by young or old, summer or winter, night or day, without the slightest inconvenience. It is made of a soft elastic material, which never corrodes, and which gives way to the slightest motions of the body. It can never become displaced, nor fail to effectually support the parts, and is so light that it only weighs _one ounce_. --> This is the only Instrument of the kind ever invented, and certainly the only one that can CURE FALLING OF THE WOMB; or be worn with ease, to relieve it, when incurable. DR. HOLLICK is the only person who keeps it, as he has NO AGENT ANY WHERE, at present. N. B.--The article is PATENTED: but, besides this, NO IMITATIONS, however similar, can be depended upon, because the Original is impregnated, in a peculiar manner, KNOWN ONLY TO THE INVENTOR, with a substance which imparts its MEDICINAL Power, and without which it would be comparatively inefficacious. All the old fashioned TRUSSES, SUPPORTERS, PESSARIES, &c., are entirely superseded by this Instrument, which can only be obtained from _Dr. Hollick_, _New York_, who will also give the necessary directions as to its use and application. _It may be sent any distance. Price--Five Dollars._ ADVERTISEMENT. DR. HOLLICK is daily receiving numerous Letters from all parts of the country, the answering of which has hitherto been a great tax on his time, already sufficiently occupied; he is therefore compelled to announce, that in future he cannot attend to any which merely request advice, unless they contain the customary fee of FIVE DOLLARS. Address, _Dr. Hollick_, _New York_. * * * * * Transcriber's Notes Page 39 states, "In Plate VII. the line marked † crosses the upper strait, or brim of the Pelvis," but there is no † in the original image. On page 341, Chapter XXIII was incorrectly labeled Chapter XXII. That has been corrected here. Minor punctuation errors were corrected on pages vi, 4, 13, 19, 90, 141, 151, 200, 202, 206, 215, 258, 271, 301, 313, 323, 346, 457, 460, 464. Inconsistencies in hyphenation and capitalization have been retained.
