Ummmmm..... I'm gonna pass it off to a friend......
Thanks DSM. I found that first advertisement when I searched, but it didn't resemble it. The second one is much clearer. Puts it right in the time for that area, 1880-19-teens.........

Even though I see it, read the ad, still don't know exactly what it's supposed to do or how it would work. Also am not requesting any instuctions since I really don't want to know... Congrats on a very unique find, I think?...

There is a band using that name in plural form.

Man, people would buy anything!
If anyone thinks it was such an effective and wonderful healthcare product, do we wonder why it was discarded and found buried deep in the ground.
Have it looked at when that Antiques Road Show comes to town.

Excellent! I feel a good ripper coming on here, so I'm just gonna go with it and see where it takes us...
Ya see, back in the 'Olden days' Men commonly lifted objects two or three times their weight on a daily basis...Mud family legend is Uncle Johnny, who sired a dozen kids and worked both a dairy and fruit farm...He died young, the family story is his heart blew up when he was lifting a foundered milk cow up onto a haywagon...
Most Men back then were slightly built, dressed out less than 200lbs, more like 150, but boy could they work and lift! No wonder this company sold these trusses! Back then, before Workmans Comp and hydraulic tractors, Men really lifted a lot of heavy loads! Ever drive down a cobblestone road? Some poor b'tard dug and wheelbarrowed all those stones! Imagine! Granite weighs 180lbs per cubic foot, so those stones you are driving over? those are the 'stones' that fell out of the Men who built those roads!
The first time I blew out my boys was at the tender age of 12 clearing a field of oak stumps so my Dad could plant some sort of failing crop...gave a mighty heave-ho, felt some sort of troublesome and abrupt tear in the vacinity of what was to be my future Wedding Tackle. Out from the bottom of my cover-all leg, dropped some strange looking items...They laid there in the dirt with a surprised look on their shrivelled faces, like a couple of confused baby toads. I was just as surprised as they were, never here to fore experiencing this phenomenon...I picked them both up, gently dusted them off and put them in my pocket for later...
I think I'm gonna build me up one of these truss belts out of some old life jacket straps I found washed up on the beach and some scrap brass flat stock...not that I have to worry about losing them much, my Wife keeps them all safe and sound in her purse....
When all is said and done, all a guy really has in this World is the Family Jewels, it would be a shame to lose them in a hot asphault parking lot carrying a sack of groceries.
My Uncle Johnny would spin in his grave if I dropped out carrying some Polish Pottery or a bag of Beanie Babies from TJMaxx...They say, "You cant take it with you", but it would sure be nice to leave here with the original equipment unwrapped, undamaged and still in the pouch just to show the Man what a good steward you have been all this time!..This Truss Company figured this out, and marketed to our fear...brilliant! Just like Lipitor!

Sorry to dampen the joviality, but a truss has very little to do with the family jewels or their accidental relocation.
This is a great find regardless of its purpose, but being identified as a relic medical device makes it extra special.
Really, a truss is to keep a part of the intestine from buldging through a tear in the abdominal wall...or a hernia.
This tear can be anyplace in the abdominal wall, but usually ocurrs below the sternum or in the lower abdomen.
Little hilarity here because the protruding piece of intestine can be strangled and starved of blood resulting in a ruptured intestine or even death.
And a truss is only a temporary, stop gap measure to apply pressure to the injury and relieve the pain.

Along the same lines...
What is the deal with all these catheter commercials? On any given evening, a guy has to sit through watching a dozen commercials all about catheters! Are they that popular? Does a guy need one? Heck, they even sell a pocket version!
Has something changed in the Human evolution of plumbing where a guy needs to insert a tube just to make a little weewee? So what if theres a few errant drips, thats why underwear was invented right? And then theres the Cialis commercials...same deal, whats changed with the Human evolution that a guy needs to pop a pill just to get a stiffy? (erection is the medical term used)
With all these new fangled Male plumbing products pitched at me, a guy dont know whether hes coming or going! What should I do? I dont have any health insurance what so ever..I'm worried and asking for advice!
Can I make my own catheter tubes out of a green sassafras twig? And if I did, would the effluent smell like root beer? These are unanswered questions I think about, and WebMD is of no help at all in this regards...What did guys do in the olden days? Wear a kilt I suspect...anyway...
A few years back, a friend of mine had a hernia, his Wife would not allow me to visit on account of I was not welcomed because it 'hurt too much to laugh'..thats what she said anyway, Doctors orders, this was more than 5yrs ago, and she says he is still in recovery?...
Maybe I shoulda made him a truss out of an old lifejacket? We were wonderful fishing and drinking buddies...I never did like his Wife though...very mean and frowning all the time when I was around....maybe thats where the Cialis comes into play?
