place.
It massages the weak ruptured parts as well as a skilled hand-massager
could, as well as could be done at a hospital. And charges nothing for
giving the massage-- there is no expense beyond the price of the truss.
[Sidenote: This Strengthening Massage Given Automatically]
It massages the weak ruptured parts entirely automatically or
mechanically. And does it in a wonderfully simple way; the massaging
device-- so small it would go in a watch case-- is so simple that you'll
wonder when you see it how it can produce such a strengthening effect.
Keeps massaging the weak ruptured parts all day long-- all without a
moment's attention from you, all without keeping you from your work,
all without in any way interfering with your pleasure.
And, at the same time, holds the rupture constantly and comfortably in
place.
Takes all strain off the ruptured parts, rests the weakened muscles
while the massage is strengthening them; just as you must rest a
strained ankle-- keep your weight off it-- while it is healing.
Keeps you from even feeling a single one of the strains that are apt to
do 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.
