st as well as the best physician could study and diagnose a case of
typhoid or other sickness right at the bedside of the patient.

Our system of attending to people by mail is so exact-- and our
knowledge and skill so great-- that no matter how far away you are
we can fit you correctly with a Cluthe Truss just as surely as a high
class tailor could fit you with a suit of clothes after taking your
measurements himself.

[Illustration: _+THE CLUTHE RUPTURE INSTITUTE+_]

Here we have on file-- in writing-- complete particulars concerning each
of the 290,000 cases we have attended to.

Every case is carefully indexed and ready for instant reference.

Nothing is left to memory or guesswork-- nothing can be overlooked,
nothing forgotten.

Thus your case can be easily and accurately compared with hundreds of
similar cases.

You see we have made mail order fitting and mail order care and
attention a science.

That-- together with the superiority of the Cluthe Truss-- together with
the knowledge and experience gained through attending to thousands of
widely different cases-- gives us a tremendous advantage over your local
druggist or any one else you could go to.

For years our Institute was located in the heart of New York City--
within a short car ride of several million people.

[Sidenote: Our Advantages Over The Drug Store]

And there-- in the course of years-- among the thousands of people who
came in person to be attended to at our Institute, we had in our care
case after case of every kind and condition of rupture ever known.

And all this time we were also attending by mail to cases of all kinds
in all parts of the civilized world.

No druggist-- no truss fitter in any drug store or surgical supply
house-- no one else in all America-- ever had such a wonderful
opportunity to learn all the peculiarities of rupture.

Our experience has been so complete that in the last five years we
haven't come across a single case-- either by mail or among those who
came to the Institute-- which presented any peculiarities that we were
not already familiar with.

Yet-- because he has never seen a case like it before-- a case that
would seem simple to us often completely baffles the best of truss
fitters in drug stores, local truss concerns, surgical supply houses,
etc.

Now it is only in the largest drug stores, local truss establishments
and surgical instrument houses-- perhaps in only five or six places in a
