Cluthe's Advice to the Ruptured Part 16

_+How to Order+_

First decide which Grade of the Cluthe Truss you want to try. (See pages 68 and 69.)

And please don't forget to enclose the necessary amount with your order.

(This amount, as explained elsewhere, will simply be placed to your credit and held as a deposit in your name while you are testing the truss on 60 days' trial.)

The best way to send the amount is to get a draft at your bank, or get a Post Office Money Order or Express Money Order. If currency is sent, be sure to register your letter.

In ordering, please use the Information or Order blank which we enclose with this book. Be sure to sign your name plainly, and give your full address.

Be careful to write out plainly as you can a full and complete answer to each of the simple questions we ask on the Order blank-- remember that your answers guide us in determining the requirements of your case, the size and shape of Holding Pad or Pads, the amount of support you need, and the point at which to "set" or adjust the truss so it will automatically give the right amount of support or holding power.

If there is any further information you want to give us, write it in the s.p.a.ce under "Remarks" on the Order blank, or on a separate piece of paper.

If you happen to mislay the order blank, just use a separate sheet of paper for writing out your answers to the questions given below.

(Instead of taking the trouble to write out both questions and answers, merely give the answers alone, and number the answers 1, 2, 3, etc., to agree with the corresponding question.)

These Questions are the Same as on Order Blank

1. Which of the figures shown on pages 62 and 63 most resembles your Rupture, when fully out-- On your right side? On your left side? 2. Give measurement around naked body in direct line over place where rupture first comes out. 3. Male or female? 4. Age? 5. Height? 6. Weight?

7. Occupation, and does your work require heavy lifting? 8. Where is your rupture located? (State whether right, left, or both sides, or at navel.) 9. If on both sides, which is worse and which harder to hold?

10. When rupture is out how does it compare in size to pigeon's, hen's, or goose egg? (If two ruptures, give size of each.) 11. Has your difficulty been to get a Truss to hold? 12. If male, does your rupture descend INTO the s.c.r.o.t.u.m? 13. If unsuccessfully operated on for rupture-- or if rupture is result of an operation-- mark on a rough sketch or on a trace of the figure most resembling your rupture the comparative location of _incision_. 14. How many years ruptured?

+Prominent Arkansas Physician Cured of Rupture of 49 Years Standing in 8 Months by Cluthe Truss+

With pleasure I beg to submit the following facts in my own case at which I was greatly surprised. I am 53 years old, and was badly ruptured when 4 years old, on both right and left sides. The right side rupture failed to be held by any and all kinds of trusses until I put on a Cluthe Truss. I can now remove the truss and feel no symptoms of Hernia.

Now, how is this for a cure in eight months? I take pleasure, as a physician and surgeon, in recommending the Cluthe Truss to any and all sufferers from Hernia. I have fitted Cluthe Trusses on four other patients, three of whom are already well and the fourth greatly improved. You have my permission to use this testimonial as you please, and I hope it may be the means of others, suffering from rupture, resorting at once to a Cluthe Truss.

+From a Prominent New York Plumber+

After trying a drug store truss and a strap without getting either to hold my rupture, which was getting larger all the time, I tried a Cluthe Truss, which has worked wonders in my case. In my work as a plumber I have to get into every conceivable position, often tie up in a knot, as it were, but my Cluthe Truss never failed; never shifted a fraction of an inch. I often go without my truss without the slightest sign of rupture or feeling of weakness. After what I suffered and considering the size of my rupture before I was lucky enough to hear of you, you can realize how strongly I can recommend anyone ruptured to send for a Cluthe Truss and save the money he would waste in buying any of the makeshifts.

+This Man, 72 Years Old, Cured in a Few Months by Cluthe Truss While at Work+

When I was first ruptured I bought a truss and tried to wear it. This was fitted by a local dealer time and time again-- but I could not wear it. I then tried another local dealer with the same result. I was then induced to try another truss but could not get any relief. Then, I noticed your advertis.e.m.e.nt. It seemed impossible to me then that you could do by measurement, which I was to send you, what the local dealers could not do when I was personally present. However, I did send for your truss, expecting only to get a truss that I could wear with comfort.

I wore it some months-- after a while I would forget to put it on, and would go for a day or two without it. Each time I would go longer without it-- then some weeks I discarded it entirely. I consider that I am entirely cured of my rupture. I cannot express to you how grateful I am to you and without solicitation on your part I am writing you this letter to show you my appreciation of your efforts. I am now 72 years of age, a mason by occupation and am working every day.

+This Man from Missouri Quickly Cured by Cluthe Truss+

I gladly testify to convince people suffering from rupture that the Cluthe Truss was a sure cure in my case. Experience has convinced me that if anyone ruptured will apply a Cluthe Truss according to the directions it means positive relief, and the only hope for a cure.

I cannot recommend the Cluthe Truss too highly.

+Ruptured for Years-- Tried Cluthe Truss-- Cured in Two Months+

I had worn several kinds of trusses, which did me no good, but, on the contrary, made me worse all the time. I saw your truss advertised and sent for one to try. I felt better at once. I had suffered for years before, and wore the Cluthe Truss a little over two months; then I did not need a truss any more. Now, I feel all right, and if anyone wants to know what the Cluthe Truss can do for rupture refer them to me, and I will truthfully tell them what it has done for me.

+Cannot Say Too Much for the Cluthe Truss, which Completely Cured His Rupture+

I am more than glad to recommend your truss at any time. I cannot do too much for the Cluthe folks. My rupture is a complete cure and I have you to thank for it.

+Cured of as Bad a Scrotal Rupture as Anyone Ever Had+

I take pleasure in informing you that the Cluthe Truss cured me of as bad a Scrotal Rupture as anyone ever had. I thank you for what you have done for me.

+This Man 70 Years Old Cured by Cluthe Truss+

I am glad to add my testimony as one who has been cured by the Cluthe Truss. I did not get one with the expectation of being cured, as my rupture was very bad, and I was 70 years of age. I would advise any person, be they young or old, who are afflicted with rupture, not to delay trying a Cluthe Truss and no other, for I have tried many of the others and found them of no good.
