Cluthes Advice to the Ruptured | Page 7

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 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.
