Cluthes Advice to the Ruptured | Page 6

so much harm when other trusses are worn.
That is how this remarkable truss, while overcoming your weakness, rids work of all its dangers.
Takes away all risk of further weakening yourself or of making the rupture worse.
[Sidenote: Rids Work of All Its Dangers]
Instead, any work you do will actually help make your rupture better, actually have a healing or curative effect.
Every movement you make-- in working, walking, exercising, even in breathing-- so acts on the Cluthe Truss as to help produce the strengthening massage.
This massage is wonderfully soothing, like gently rubbing a bruised spot.
And is so remarkably beneficial that in about one hundred and ninety-nine cases out of every two hundred, the rupture usually begins to get better almost the day a Cluthe Truss is put on.
So remarkably beneficial that the Cluthe Truss has cured some of the worst cases of rupture on record-- cured many of them even after everything else, including operation, had done no good whatever.
For this massage does for the weak ruptured parts exactly what exercise does for the arms or legs-- gradually gives new strength-- in most cases soon makes the ruptured parts as strong and sound as a dollar.

This massage, in some ways, is like Osteopathic treatment.
Which, as a cure for certain ailments, is fast taking the place of drugs and surgical operations.
Most likely you've heard or read about some of the Osteopathic cures. Nearly everybody, nowadays, has. Maybe you know of Osteopathic cures right there in your own neighborhood.
Some of the cures made in this way seem almost magical.
And it is largely because massage forms a big part of it that Osteopathic treatment does so much good, especially in many kinds of weakness.
[Sidenote: +Something Like Osteopathic Treatment+]
Like a weak back, or weak kidneys, or weak or worn out nerves, etc.
And there's only one reason why Osteopathic physicians can't cure rupture as easily as any other weakness.
Like hospital massage, it can be given only when you are flat on your back; and, unless a Cluthe Truss is worn-- which takes the place of Osteopathic Treatment and makes it unnecessary, just as it does the hospital massage-- there would be no way of preventing protrusion between treatments.
Moreover, Osteopathic treatment, like hospital massage, would be too expensive for most people. Even if given only occasionally. For Osteopathic physicians charge $3.00 to $5.00 a treatment.
But the Cluthe Truss keeps giving the massage part of Osteopathic treatment-- the strengthening part of the treatment-- all day long; and all without any expense, except the small cost of the truss.

+How Your Rupture is Kept From Coming Out+
And How the Cluthe Truss is Held in Position by Suction-- No Belt, Leg-straps or Springs Around the Body
The Cluthe Truss is the only kind in existence which applies the support at the proper angle-- upwards against the rupture opening; thus counteracting the internal downward pressure of the abdominal organs, the natural tendency of the bowels to push out.
And, unlike all others, it is self-adjusting, self-regulating. Automatically adjusts itself with every one of your movements when you in any way exert your strength.
Sudden strains or movements, like coughing or sneezing, like in working or exercising-- strains which would cause other trusses to slip or shift out of position-- simply cause an instant, automatic increase in the comfortable support a Cluthe Truss gives to your rupture.
[Sidenote: Holding Power Automatically Increases To Meet Any Strain]
Every strain of any kind is instantly and automatically counteracted.
After fitting men here at the Institute, we have had them do everything we could think of, but they couldn't throw the Cluthe Holding Pads out of position, couldn't force the rupture out.
The holding power of this truss instantly increased to meet every strain the men made.
The Cluthe Automatic Holding Pads-- the pads which hold the rupture in place-- are free acting-- work on a ball-bearing, universal joint. Thus they are wonderfully sensitive to the slightest movement, instantly respond to each movement.
No other truss in the world has this self-adjusting feature-- no other can hold a bad rupture, no other can keep the rupture from getting worse.
Just as no other can overcome the weakness which causes rupture-- no other can give the strengthening massage which the Cluthe Truss gives-- no other can make the rupture better.
We have so much confidence in the Cluthe Truss that we guarantee in writing-- as fully explained on page 66-- that it will at all times prevent protrusion.

Another thing about the Cluthe Truss.
In cases of Double Rupture, this truss is of course equipped with Automatic Holding Pads on both sides.
While in case of Single Rupture, the side not ruptured is protected against strains by a free-acting Protection Pad; this supports and strengthens the well side, prevents all danger of double rupture. Every man who has a double rupture originally had only
