About the worst thing any ruptured person
can do Is to put up with a truss which can !
be depended upon to hold the rupture In place.
There is constant danger of
LATED hernia-which usually ends in quick
death-constant danger that some misstep or
unexpected strain may throw the rupture out
so suddenly and forcibly that it can't be put
back again.
And. even IL you escape more serious conse-
quences, the rupture is bound to get worse
every time 1t comes out-the opening gets
larger. the rupture increases in size and gets
harder to hold, and In time may become ire
ducible.
Eut nowadays no ruptured person need Lon
tinue to risk health and life In that way.
For you can now get a truss-vastly different
from all ot~hers-which can always be depended
on to keep the rupture from coming out.
This is the Cluthe Truss-which will never
shift away from the rupture -opening-never
slip a fraction of an inch.
You see, this truss is SELF-REGULATING
automatically adjusts itself with every move
ment of the body. so that 1t unfailingly gives
just the amount Of support needed. whether
little or much. to keep the rupture constantly
in place.
Furthermore. while thus preventing pro-
trusion, a Cluthe Truss is constantly
STRENGTHENING the weak parts around the
rupture opening.
WEAKNESS Of these parts is. you know.
the real cause OF rupture. So. OF course, there
can be no CURE except by operation. which
is always dangerous until that weakness is
OVERCOME.
And a Cluthe Truss overcomes that weak
ness by AUTOMATICALLY MASSAGING the
weak parts. MASSAGE. you know, is a sort
of ARTIFICIAL Observation-Disclosures and
STRENGTHENS just as ORDINARY exercise
strengthens the arms or legs.
