If your truss is no good, if it lets any little strain throw your rupture out, there is constant danger that some sudden wrench, some slip, some fall or misstep, may throw the rupture out so violently as to cause _strangulation_ of the rupture. And that usually ends in quick death. But the man who wears a Cluthe Truss has nothing whatever to worry about. For the Cluthe Truss keeps the rupture from coming out, takes all danger out of work or exercise, takes all strain off the weak ruptured parts, rests them, and-- by automatically massaging them-- daily strengthens them. As the result of this constant hold and in constant strengthening, rupture is not likely to give any more trouble from the day a Cluthe Truss is put on. Just as weak eyes won't bother you any more after you get the right kind of glasses. [Sidenote: Does More for Rupture Than Glasses do for the Eyes] The Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Massager is the only truss in existence that can be depended on to do for rupture what good glasses do for the eyes. In the majority of cases, it does far more. About all that glasses can do is to keep the eyes from getting worse-- take the strain off them-- rest them, so they won't be further weakened. No one expects glasses 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. _+X-Ray View of Cluthe Truss+_ Note that there is no Belt, Elastics or Spring around the Waist, and no Leg-Straps [Illustration] 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.
