Cluthes Advice to the Ruptured | Page 7

a single rupture. Most other trusses fail to provide any dependable protection for the well side in Single Rupture.

And now note that when you put on a Cluthe Truss, there's no belt, band or elastic around the waist, no springs, no legstraps, nothing that can pinch, squeeze or bind, nothing that can cut, chafe or in any way irritate the skin.
[Sidenote: Holds Securely Without Unnecessary Pressure]
It is the only truss without "harness" of any kind whatever.
It is held on the body by free-acting suction or vacuum Pads.
These Pads rest lightly and comfortably over the natural cushion of muscles forming the rump.
And hold the truss securely in position on the body in much the same way suction holds a properly fitting set of false teeth so comfortably in place that they seem like natural teeth.
Because free from "harness," there is nothing about the Cluthe Truss that can bulge the clothing. It can be worn under corsets; or worn under tights without showing. Many acrobats wear Cluthe Trusses under their tights when performing.
Yet the Cluthe Truss doesn't squeeze or hug, doesn't bind against the body at any point save where the Suction Pads rest and where the Holding Pads support the rupture.
This makes it the most comfortable truss ever invented.
Many people have written us that it is as comfortable as their clothing.

Another feature.
Every part of the Cluthe Truss is covered with vulcanized rubber or waterproof casing.
No leather or cloth or similar material to heat up the skin and make it tender.
Nothing that can absorb perspiration; nothing that can get sweaty, sticky or foul-smelling.
And because waterproof, it can easily be washed; easily kept clean.
[Sidenote: Wear It When Taking a Bath or Swim]
It is about the only truss that is all waterproof. Therefore about the only truss you can keep on while taking a bath or swim-- a time when you are in danger, if you have no truss on, of having the rupture thrown out by the bending and twisting you do.
Other trusses which claim to be waterproof can't be depended upon to hold-- won't hold successfully when you are in the water or any other time. It takes more than waterproof quality alone to keep rupture from coming out.

Yet, with all its exclusive superiorities, the Cluthe Truss-- including the professional services of the members of the Cluthe Institute-- costs only a trifle more than the worthless trusses which do little or no good whatever.

+The Care And Attention We Give You+
All Without Taking You a Single Step From Your Home or a Minute From Work or Business
When you try a Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss, you will find that you get vastly different treatment-- vastly better care and attention-- than when you go to a drug store or local truss dealer.
For you will get from us-- in connection with the Cluthe Truss, and without extra charge-- the skilled care and attention of five men (the five members of the Cluthe Rupture Institute) who are pretty well known throughout America as being foremost in the field of rupture.
And you will get our care and attention-- and our special advice on your case-- without putting yourself to half as much trouble as when you go to a drug store--
You will get it merely by sending us-- as explained farther on-- a little simple information.
[Sidenote: Distance Makes No Difference]
We can study and understand your case as well with you five to five thousand or more miles away as we could with you right before us; or just as well as the best physician could study and diagnose a case of typhoid or other sickness right at the bedside of the patient.
Our system of attending to people by mail is so exact-- and our knowledge and skill so great-- that no matter how far away you are we can fit you correctly with a Cluthe Truss just as surely as a high class tailor could fit you with a suit of clothes after taking your measurements himself.

Here we have on file-- in writing-- complete particulars concerning each of the 290,000 cases we have attended to.
Every case is carefully indexed and ready for instant reference.
Nothing is left to memory or guesswork-- nothing can be overlooked, nothing forgotten.
Thus your case can be easily and accurately compared with hundreds of similar cases.
You see we have made mail order fitting and mail order care and attention a science.
That-- together with the superiority of the Cluthe Truss-- together with the knowledge and experience gained through attending to thousands of widely different cases-- gives us a tremendous advantage over your local druggist or any one else you could go to.
For years our Institute was located in the heart of New York City-- within a short car ride of
