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.
