w 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 aga
