Now when men like these-- many of them acting on the advice of famous
physicians-- are taking advantage of the care and attention we give by
mail in connection with the Cluthe Truss, it is mighty good proof of our
ability to attend to any kind of case by mail.

[Sidenote: How We Study Your Case]

The first thing we do, when a man writes for a Cluthe Truss, is to make
a careful, scientific study of his case. We must understand your case
thoroughly-- know all its peculiarities.

And please bear in mind that your case will receive the personal
attention of at least three members-- perhaps there will be a
consultation of all five members-- of the Cluthe Rupture Institute.

No order is ever put in the hands of a clerk or helper or other
inexperienced person.

In each case we give our complete professional service. Each case is
treated _individually_.

We take into consideration the kind of rupture-- the location of the
rupture opening-- the size of the protrusion, the length of time
ruptured, the cause of the rupture, whether or not an operation has been
performed, etc., etc.

You will find, on our information blank (one is enclosed with this book,
or see duplicate questions on page 73) some simple, easily-answered
questions concerning these points.

And your answers to these questions, if your answers are correct,
furnish us all the guidance we need as to the special requirements of
your case. Just as a physician in writing a prescription is guided by
the answers to his simple questions.

That is how we determine the shape and size of the Automatic Holding Pad
(in case of Double Rupture, each rupture is _individually_ treated,
usually a different kind of pad for each side, for both sides are seldom
the same).

And that is how we determine the adjustment of the pads and all parts,
the amount of support needed and the regulation of the holding pads to
give the support, etc., etc.

Then, after deciding all these points, we make for you a _special_
Cluthe Truss-- one exactly adapted to your individual case-- every part
of it exactly what your condition requires. (Compare _that_ with the way
drug stores and local truss dealers try to fit you with a ready-made
"stock" truss.)

We next take this specially made truss to our Gallery of Statues-- which
consists of life-size and life-like models or dummy figures.
