Part 9

Nothing that can absorb perspiration; nothing that can get sweaty, sticky or foul-smelling.

And because waterproof, it can easily be washed; easily kept clean.

It is about the only truss that is all waterproof. Therefore about the only truss you can keep on while taking a bath or swim-- a time when you are in danger, if you have no truss on, of having the rupture thrown out by the bending and twisting you do.

Other trusses which claim to be waterproof can't be depended upon to hold-- won't hold successfully when you are in the water or any other time. It takes more than waterproof quality alone to keep rupture from coming out.

Yet, with all its exclusive superiorities, the Cluthe Truss-- including the professional services of the members of the Cluthe Institute-- costs only a trifle more than the worthless trusses which do little or no good whatever.

+The Care And Attention We Give You+

All Without Taking You a Single Step From Your Home or a Minute From Work or Business

When you try a Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss, you will find that you get vastly different treatment-- vastly better care and attention-- than when you go to a drug store or local truss dealer.

For you will get from us-- in connection with the Cluthe Truss, and without extra charge-- the skilled care and attention of five men (the five members of the Cluthe Rupture Institute) who are pretty well known throughout America as being foremost in the field of rupture.

And you will get our care and attention-- and our special advice on your case-- without putting yourself to half as much trouble as when you go to a drug store--

You will get it merely by sending us-- as explained farther on-- a little simple information.

We can study and understand your case as well with you five to five thousand or more miles away as we could with you right before us; or just 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.

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.

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 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.
