Until they know of something better, most physicians, because of their training, naturally believe in hospital treatment for rupture-- naturally favor operations. But few good physicians would ever advise an operation if they knew of the Cluthe Truss and the world of good it has done. Just as no conscientious physician would ever think of sending anyone to the drug-store for a truss if he knew how much more beneficial a Cluthe Truss is. Too bad, for the sake of their ruptured patients, that more physicians don't know the facts about this truss. Too bad the good news hasn't yet spread among all the profession. However, thousands of physicians all over the country are already familiar with the facts-- thousands have seen the folly of expecting ordinary trusses to do any good-- thousands now know that getting a Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss and our professional care and attention in connection with it, is a vastly different thing than going to a drug-store for a truss. Just as calling in a physician and having him prescribe exactly what you need for typhoid, grippe, nervous trouble, rheumatism or other sickness, is a hundred times more likely to give you relief than if you go to a drug-store for some patent medicine "cure-all." So far as we know, every physician who has impartially looked into the merits of the Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss and the care and attention we give has from that time on (unless operation was absolutely necessary) been advising a trial of the Cluthe Truss in all cases of rupture which come under his charge. Among such physicians are many connected with hospitals, who almost invariably advise a trial of the Cluthe Truss instead of an operation; just as they would prefer to cure appendicitis without an operation unless an operation seemed imperative. And many physicians (you'll find the names of some of them in the book "Your Neighbor's Word") are themselves wearing Cluthe Trusses, or have worn them until cured. _+Ruptured People Swindled Out of Thousands of Dollars+_ Look Out for the Deceitful "Don't-Wear-a-Truss" Arguments and the Tricky "Not-a-Truss" Claims Get-Rich-Quick Quacks are year after year humbugging ruptured people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The traps they set are cleverly baited. But the bait always consists of misrepresentation and tricky subterfuges. Some style themselves "doctors"-- an insult to the medical profession. Some call themselves "Captain" or "Colonel"-- an attempt to get the sympathy of Civil War veterans. Some try to work on your sympathies by telling you they were themselves formerly ruptured-- that they got their knowledge of rupture by studying their own cases-- that they made a special "appliance" for themselves. But a doctor or surgeon can't set his own arm. And no one can make a scientific study of his own rupture any more than he can perform an operation on himself.
