[Sidenote: How to Save Yourself from Being Humbugged]

But it is easy enough to avoid being fooled-- easy enough to guard
against frauds and fakes.

And it is easy enough to save yourself from throwing money away on
drug-store trusses and other things which may be sold without wrong
intent-- but which are utterly incapable of doing any particular good.

Simply make up your mind not to put any faith in anything whatever for
rupture unless you can get the sellers to agree to let you test it on
_Sixty Days' Trial_ and under the protection of a _Money-Back
Guarantee_.

Make sure that everything is clearly understood-- see that all
agreements are plainly worded-- insist on a signed guarantee that your
rupture will be held or your money refunded.

Any concern which makes or sells a truss or anything else good enough to
stand _that_ test doesn't need to resort to misleading claims or
subterfuge or trickery of any kind.

And _that_-- a sixty days' trial under the protection of our iron-clad
money-back guarantee-- is the test we ask you to make of the Cluthe
Automatic Massaging Truss.

_+Showing How the Cluthe Truss is Held in Place
Without Leg-Straps or Other "Harness"+_

[Illustration]

These illustrations show the free action of the rear or Suction Pads of
the Cluthe Truss.

The sole work of these pads is to support the frame which passes around
the body. They hold the Truss in position, so the Rupture Pads in front
can't slip up or down or away from the rupture opening.

These pads rest against the cushion of muscles behind the hips (the
muscles forming the rump). The pads are hollow on the under side. This
forms a vacuum or suction, which makes slipping or displacement
impossible in any position.

_+What We Have Done For 290,000 Others+_

At this writing we have treated at our Institute, over 290,000 ruptures.

These included all kinds and conditions. Some of them the worst cases in
history.

Many of these people, in despair, were at the point of undergoing an
operation. But the Cluthe Truss made operation unnecessary-- saved the
big expense-- saved the terrible risk.

Among those we have fitted by mail are many infants from a few months to
a few years old.

And even these little ones wore the Cluthe Truss in absolute comfort
while being made better, while being cured.

We don't need to tell you it would be cruelty to
