city like New York or Chicago-- that a special or "expert" truss fitter
of any kind is employed.

So if a comparatively simple case puzzles these "expert" fitters, a man
certainly can't expect much satisfaction at the small drug store, where
whichever clerk that isn't busy-- at best someone with little or no
knowledge at all of rupture-- will undertake to wait on you.

During our long experience, for every person who came to our Institute
we have probably attended to ten others by mail.

And we have proved over and over-- year after year-- that we can give
relief by mail to the man five or five thousand miles away just as well
as to the man who came to our Institute.

[Sidenote: Give Entire Time To Attending Cases By Mail]

So now we have moved our Institute to Bloomfield, N.J.-- only ten miles
from New York City-- a quiet suburb where we can give our entire time to
attending to cases by mail.

For we have found that the great majority of the victims of rupture
can't afford to lay off from work or business long enough to undergo
operation-- the only thing besides the Cluthe Truss which can be looked
upon as a means of relief; we have found that most ruptured people can't
spare the money required for an operation; and that many of them--
largely because they have been wearing, for years, perhaps, trusses
which have been letting them get worse all the time-- are so weakened
and run down in health that they stand little chance of recovering from
the shock of an operation.

These are the people who are most in need of our truss and most in need
of our skilled care and attention.

And here in Bloomfield we can do more good, give relief to more people
by mail, than we could had we remained in New York.

And here, day after day, we are attending by mail to people in New York
City-- only ten miles away-- just as we are to sufferers in Maine,
Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, California, etc.

[Sidenote: Well-Known Business Men Order By Mail]

Big business men in New York-- bankers, presidents of big corporations,
noted lawyers and others-- men perhaps living in the same block with
some noted physician or surgeon-- men who could send for their autos
and in fifteen to thirty minutes be in any one of New York's best
hospitals-- men who can afford the best medical and surgical care in the
world-- are among those who have ordered Cluthe Trusses from us here in
Bloomfield in exactly the same way-- by mail-- that a man out i
