lasses to _cure_ weak eyes, no one expects them to
improve the sight so much that glasses won't need to be worn.

But the Cluthe Truss, in many cases, _does_ cure rupture.

You will see proof of that by reading some of the letters at the back of
this book.

And in those cases where it doesn't result in complete cure, it almost
invariably makes the rupture better. If it doesn't do that, we are
always ready to refund the purchaser's money, as fully explained in a
later chapter.

This Truss Can be Worn in the Bath, or when Swimming--
All Parts Are Water-Proof

This X-ray view shows how simple the Cluthe Truss is-- how few parts it
has-- its freedom from uncomfortable "harness"-- and just how it looks
when on.

This view is taken from above-- what is called a "Bird's Eye" view. The
rear pads (Suction Pads) are level with the pads in front (the
Automatic-Acting Holding or Rupture Pads), though they seem higher in
the picture.

Bear in mind that the frame you see in the picture is no way a spring or
belt or band. It leaves the hips and spine free-- doesn't press against
the body at any point. (This is shown more clearly by the Cross-Section
View on page 58.) The Suction Pads in the rear-- which rest lightly on
the rump-- hold the truss in proper position, keeping it from slipping,
shifting or moving the least bit out of place. The only purpose of the
frame is to connect the Suction Pads with the Rupture Pads in front, so
the truss can hold you together.

The truss shown here is for a severe case of right-side Groin or Scrotal
Rupture. Has Automatic-Acting Holding or Rupture Pad on the ruptured
side, and a free-acting Protection Pad on the side not ruptured, thus
protecting the well side against strains, etc.

For Double Groin Rupture, another Holding Pad would be fitted where the
Protection Pad is shown here.

The Cluthe Automatic Holding Pads are made in over 115 different shapes
and sizes, and are selected as the severity and nature of each case may
demand.

We determine the true nature and real needs of the case from the answers
given to the questions on our Order blank, and then shape frame of truss
so hips and spine will be left free from pressure, and select Rupture
Pad or Pads of the right size and shape, and "set" or adjust the truss
so it will be self-regulati
