So strongly made and so simply made that there is nothing about it likely to get out of order.

[Sidenote: About Prices]

We make the Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Ma.s.sager in two grades.

Both are precisely the same in principle and in action.

Both are fully guaranteed to hold your rupture securely.

Both are perspiration-proof and both water-proof. The Cluthe Truss-- either grade-- is the only truss made that you don't have to remove while taking a bath or swim and that insures perfect holding at _such_ times as well as at all other times.

Our Grade A is the best wearing truss-- the most durable truss made. If you get this truss, you'll probably never need to pay out another dollar on account of your rupture.

Frames and pads are both covered with water-proof Vulcanized Rubber (unless you prefer water-proof Cushion Holding Pads).

And now note that the Cluthe Truss costs little or no more than many other kinds which are nothing but makeshifts.

The price of Grade A, for single rupture, is $12. For double rupture, $14.

Grade B, for adults with hip measurements 28 inches or larger, is $9 for a single rupture. For double rupture, $11.

For children, up to 27 inches hip measurements, this grade for single rupture is $6. For double rupture, $8.

[Sidenote: Only $9 to $14]

Grade B will outlast a dozen ordinary trusses. But it isn't as durable as Grade A. The frame is covered with special Waterproof Casing.

Holding Pads on Grade B Truss are the same as on Grade A-- vulcanized rubber or water-proof Cushion Pads.

We advise Grade A, simply because this is more durable.

Both grades are for Groin or Scrotal Rupture only. For Navel Rupture, or After Operation, see page 64.

In fitting either grade, we give equal attention and care-- give you our complete Professional Services, special instructions and our confidential advice.

And on both grades give you sixty days' trial and the protection of our money-back-guarantee.

The prices quoted here are for Mail Order Fitting only. Our charges for Fitting by appointment at the Inst.i.tute will be furnished upon request.

Previous appointment for personal fitting at the Inst.i.tute is _absolutely_ necessary.

Our terms are Amount with Order. As explained elsewhere the amount is simply held on deposit until you have made thorough trial of the truss.

_+Don't Let Yourself Keep on Getting Worse+_

There's no Better Time Than Right Now to Put the Cluthe Truss to a 60 Days' Test

Don't wait till the last minute-- don't wait till your rupture makes you absolutely helpless-- don't wait till good-for-nothing trusses cripple you up so you can scarcely drag around at all-- don't wait till it's too late for a Cluthe Truss, an operation or anything else to save you.

Don't cheat yourself out of making a sixty-day test of the Cluthe Automatic Ma.s.saging Truss-- don't rob yourself of this chance to get relief without having to risk a single cent of your money.

Even though you may think your condition is hopeless, don't let that keep you from trying a Cluthe Truss-- don't let anything whatever keep you from finding out what this truss can do for you.

[Sidenote: You'll Begin to Get Better Right Away]

Unless you are far worse off than most others who have tried this truss, you'll begin to get better from the day you put a Cluthe Truss on.

You'll have nothing more to worry about-- you can work your hardest every day in the week-- take any kind of exercise-- take your bath or swim, etc.-- all without the slightest danger of forcing your rupture out.

[Sidenote: No More Torturing Harness]

And no belt, band or springs around the waist, no leg-straps, no pressure on the spine or the pelvic bone. Nothing that can squeeze, pinch or bind, nothing that can heat, chafe, itch or cut the skin, nothing that can irritate in any way.

Constant holding every minute of the day, and day after day, and the soothing, strengthening, invigorating ma.s.sage which the Cluthe Truss automatically gives, will soon make a new man of you.

We won't accept your order, won't take your money, if we don't think, after making a study of your case from the particulars you give when ordering, that a trial of our truss will prove beneficial to you.

Your rupture will prove far worse than the average man's, your condition worse than that of 199 out of every 200 who have tried this truss, if the Cluthe Truss doesn't do you a lot of good.

Just give a few minutes attention to the 5,000 voluntary endors.e.m.e.nts of the Cluthe Truss which you'll find in "Your Neighbor's Word"-- See how many of the people whose names and addresses you'll find there live right in your own town or county or state.

Read a few of the letters-- all voluntarily written-- which we print at the back of this book. See how many very severe cases have been completely cured by the Cluthe Automatic Ma.s.saging Truss-- many of them cases of from thirty to fifty years standing-- many of these people cured (while _working_, remember) in from three to ten months-- many of them cured after everything else, including operation, had proved utterly useless.

There isn't a single reason in the world for condemning yourself to drag through even another month with your rupture everlastingly bothering you--

And not a single reason for longer enduring the curse of wearing a truss which is doing no good or which hurts so it keeps you in constant misery.

[Sidenote: Why Remain a Victim of Good-for-Nothing Trusses?]

Every day that you remain at the mercy of a truss which either occasionally or frequently lets your rupture come out is simply a day of danger.

You can gain nothing whatever by waiting-- by trying to get along without a Cluthe Automatic Ma.s.saging Truss.

And you risk nothing whatever-- not a single cent-- by testing the Cluthe Truss on sixty days' trial.

Better make the test right now-- if you put it off you simply face the danger of getting worse all the time.
