The Only Thing Good Enough
To Stand Such A Test.

You know as well that mere try-on
like at drugstore-can't possibly prove
whether a truss or anything else for rupture
is going to do any good.
Neither is just few days trial a safe test.
A truss or so-called appliance" may seem al
right the first week or and then turn out to
be no good whatever
But you can't possibly make mistake after
SIXTY days trial
And there is only thing of any kind for
rupture that you get such long trial
Only one thing good enough to stand such a
long and thorough test
That is guaranteed rupture holder-the
famous Cluthe.
Made On New Principle.
The Cluthe is so radically different from
everything else for rupture that it has re-
ceived eighteen separate patents. Made on an
absolutely new principle-far more than just
truss.
1t has thoroughly proved its merits in
nearly 100000 cases that SURGEONS in the L. 5.
Army and Navy and physicians in all parts of
the world now recommend it instead of adj
vising operation
Will Save You From Operation.
A rupture can't possibly be relieved-carit
even be kept from growing worse-unless pro-
tected against all strains and constantly kept
from coming out. Just as broken bone can't
knit" unless constantly held together.
