The compression is so uniform, yet so elastic, that it is absolutely painless, and no motion of the body, however violent, can disarrange it.  This, and the fact that the blood can enter and leave the testicle with perfect freedom, constitute some of its most marked advantages over the Truss.

Moreover, the wearer always feels a sense of rest and relief while wearing the Elastic Cradle-Compressor, and from the first day the symptoms of weakness and impotence improve.  Being made in different sizes and shapes, and of the most durable yet softest silk, and powerful yet yielding elastic, they will wear perfectly until long after the Varicocele has entirely disappeared.

{Illustration:  Fig. 14.  ELASTIC TESTICLE CRADLE, {Deta}ched from Compressor, and showing its appearance {when} worn singly.  It is lined inside with sheet rubber, and {the t}ie cords are of the very best French elastic.  The bag {cover} is of the finest knit silk.}

While it compresses the Varicocele, forces out the blood, and allows the veins a chance to regain their strength and proper size again, it simply supports and keeps from injury the testicle, which at once begins to grow larger.  In addition to their curative value in Varicocele, they are now being extensively used by the medical profession for the relief of the pain and subduing of the inflammation of “swelled testicle;” also in hydrocele and haematocele.

Being applied over the whole scrotum, they will cure a Double as readily as a Single Varicocele.

In certain recent or simple cases the Elastic Testicle-Cradle alone will effect a perfect cure.  If the case is severe or of long standing, if it involves the Cord, or if the sexual organs are affected, the complete instrument should be worn.

It is beautifully made and finished, and is strong and durable, yet light and easily worn.

The reason why Varicocele has until within the past ten or fifteen years received so little attention is owing to the fact that up to that time this bagging or bulging of the spermatic veins was looked upon as merely a local affection.  No one seemed to be aware of the fact that its effect in nine cases out of ten was to produce Seminal Weakness and Loss of Sexual Power, etc.  To-day no fact is so well recognized in medicine, although probably not so well known outside of the profession.
