Not single cent comes out of
your pocket If a trial of the Cluthe
Truss which automatically gives
Massage Treatment doesn't result
in immense relief. We don't want
a cent of your money unless this
Truss does you world of good.
The Cluthe Truss with its Auto
matte Massage treatment is en-
tirely unlike any other truss ever
made.
no springs, no harness of any kind
whatever. Nothing at all uncom-
Portable.
Your Rupture Can't Come Out
You'll feel a whole lot stronger
the minute you put this truss on.
Your rupture will never again come
out.
No matter how you lift and strain,
the Cluthe Truss will hold your
rupture securely and comfortably
in place.
You'll never suffer another mo-
ments discomfort.
Think of that-you who now have
to put your rupture back perhaps
many times a day-you who now
wear trusses that cause you con-
stant torture.
Automatic Massage Treatment
The Cluthe Truss automatically
gives a wonderfully beneficial mas
sage treatment.
It has Automatic Holding Pads.
They are gulating-self- -ad-
justing to every movement you
make. That is why it is utterly
impossible to force these pads out
of position. There is always proper
support for your rupture.
And these Automatic Holding
Pads automatically massage the
weakened muscles at the rupture
opening until they are strong and
sound.
This massaging does for these
muscles what exercise does for the
arms or legs. That Is how the
Cluthe Truss cures even after
everything else has failed to do any
good whatever.
Cures in Short Time
When you wear a Cluthe Truss,
yon can do any work that you could
do if you weren't ruptured.
And, unless yours is terribly
bad case, the Cluthe Truss with its
Automatic Massage Treatment will
soon cure you completely.
The Cluthe Truss has cured some
of the worst cases in history.

NATURAL ICE IS
CLEAR OF BACILLI

The current conception of typhoid /
germs as something almost impossi- |
bic to desiroy--as having most re- !
markGble powers of resistance-is |
far from true. Science mas long !
known that except IN the places most
favorable TO their growth, they DE
quickly and easily. Scientists and
the public have each, however, fail
ed until recently to see what import
ance the change of environment is
TO germs and what a protection TO
mankind both ice and water ave.
Evidence OF the comparative case
with which the dreaded typhoid bao-
/ I'LL is destroyed Nnen kept out of
/ its normal environment, Is given in a
recent Bulletin OF the New York State
Department Of Health. The studies
of DR.. A. c. Houston. Director of Wa
ter Examinations, Metropolitan Wa
ter Board. London, England, of the
effect OF storage Of water undisturb-
cd, on Typhoid germs, gave these re-
suits: Eighteen separate portions
of water were infected with 10000
600 to 10000, 900 typhoid bacilli and
bacterial counts made every week
until they had entirely disappeared.
In one Of these series of tests, 10
portions Of water failed to show any
bacteria at the end Of three weeks,
/ 16 showed none at the end Of four
/ weeks. and in five weeks time the
whole IS portions failed to show any
signs OF the deadly germ.
Most OF the water from which ma
! tural ice is cut, Is Of as good quality
or better than the average town or
city water supply, and has practi-
cally no typhoid germs in Il at all. In
i the case of lakes and ponds, artificial
or natural, the water is quiescent for
more than five weeks before the ice
forms, and so would be entirely free
from typhoid bacilli had any been
there originally. Furthermore In the
process of freezing, over 81 per cent
Of the bacteria in water are removed
If all the water is not frozen. so that
natural ice Is always from 81 10 80
per cent purer than the water or
which il formed When Il is borne In
mind, that according to DR.. Eugene
X. Porter, New York State Commits
sioner of Health, of any bacteria
which are frozen in the ice, 80 pei
cent. are destroyed by the cold in
twenty-four hours and practically l0(
per cent. I'm two TO three weeks, and
remembering how seldom ice is sold
before IL has been stored in ice
houses more than five weeks. anC
that some is stored five months anC
more; If these undisputed facts are
borne I'm mind, It will be easy TO un
derstand the truth of the statemen
of DR.. Vim. T. Sedgwick, Of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology
that "As a vehicle of disease, natura
ice is plainly far less dangerous 4
the public health than is either waite
or milk" and that the more natura
ice is used in the household to keel
milk and water and all food so colt
that germs cannot thrive. the bette
will the public health be protecte
from typhoid and similar germ dis
eases.
