Get Rid OF Elastic Bands, Springs and
Les-Straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousa nds TO UNDERGO


Lee-Straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.
Trusses like those shown above
the belt and leg-strap. elastic and
spring contraptions sold by druggists.
surgical supply houses and many self
styled Hernia Specialists"-make life
miserable for everybody who wears
them.
And-even when drawn so tight you
can scarcely stand to keep them on
they do no good whatever.
Instead, they often do immense
harm-they squeeze the rupture, often
causing strangulation-dig into the
pelvic bone in front-press against the
sensitive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth 10 This.
Rupture-as explained in our free
book-can't be relieved or cured
can't even be kept from growing
worse-unless constantly held In
place. Just as a broken bone can't
knit" unless the parts are held Sc
curely together.
And-just as a bandage or splint is
the only way a broken bone can be
held-the right kind of truss is the
only thing in the world that can keep
a rupture from coming out.
What a difference it will make when
you get that kind of truss.
And you can get exactly that kind of
truss-without risking a cent of your
money.
It's the famous Cluthe Truss or
Cluthe Automatic Massager.
Far more than a truss-far more
than merely a device for holding the
rupture in place.
So different from everything else
for rupture that it has received Is sep
crate patents.
Thousands say it is as comfortable
as their clothing.
No belt, elastic belt or springs
around your waist, and no leg-straps.
Self-regulating, self-adjusting. 1t is
held in position by suction-can't shift
or slip-the only truss in existence
that is honestly guaranteed to hold
your rupture every minute of the day.
Sent on 60 Days Trial to Prove 1t.
We have so much faith in the Cluthe
Truss-we have seen it work wond-
ers for so many others-that we want
to make one especially for your case
and let you try it at our risk.
Well give you so days trial to prove
that this truss will keep your rupture
ing and at all other times-that it will
put an end to the trouble you've here
tofore had with your rupture-that 1t
will improve your condition. If the
trial we allow you doesn't prove it.

One of the causes for the failure of
local enterprises is the failure on the
part of many people to comprehend
that whatever injuries any business in
a community reflects injury upon the
people ofthat community. Home en-

case that a business that is of incalcu-
able benefit for a locality is hampered
or ruined through jealousies. Some
people are so constituted that they can
not endure to see AN acquaintance fair

willing to contribute to the prosperity
of stranger. The person who makes
