I am 53 years old, and was badly ruptured when 4 years old, on both right and left sides. The right side rupture failed to be held by any and all kinds of trusses until I put on a Cluthe Truss. I can now remove the truss and feel no symptoms of Hernia. Now, how is this for a cure in eight months? I take pleasure, as a physician and surgeon, in recommending the Cluthe Truss to any and all sufferers from Hernia. I have fitted Cluthe Trusses on four other patients, three of whom are already well and the fourth greatly improved. You have my permission to use this testimonial as you please, and I hope it may be the means of others, suffering from rupture, resorting at once to a Cluthe Truss.October 4, 1911.J. H. SPURGEON, M.D.,Aurora, Ark.From a Prominent New York PlumberAfter trying a drug store truss and a strap without getting either to hold my rupture, which was getting larger all the time, I tried a Cluthe Truss, which has worked wonders in my case. In my work as a plumber I have to get into every conceivable position, often tie up in a knot, as it were, but my Cluthe Truss never failed; never shifted a fraction of an inch. I often go without my truss without the slightest sign of rupture or feeling of weakness. After what I suffered and considering the size of my rupture before I was lucky enough to hear of you, you can realize how strongly I can recommend anyone ruptured to send for a Cluthe Truss and save the money he would waste in buying any of the makeshifts.December 22, 1911.HUGH J. BRADY,863 Sixth Ave., New York City.This Man, 72 Years Old, Cured in a Few Months by Cluthe Truss While at WorkWhen I was first ruptured I bought a truss and tried to wear it. This was fitted by a local dealer time and time again—but I could not wear it. I then tried another local dealer with the same result. I was then induced to try another truss but could not get any relief. Then, I noticed your advertisement. It seemed impossible to me then that you could do by measurement, which I was to send you, what the local dealers could not do when I was personally present. However, I did send for your truss, expecting only to get a truss that I could wear with comfort. I wore it some months—after a while I would forget to put it on, and would go for a day or two without it. Each time I would go longer without it—then some weeks I discarded it entirely. I consider that I am entirely cured of my rupture. I cannot express to you how grateful I am to you and without solicitation on your part I am writing you this letter to show you my appreciation of your efforts. I am now 72 years of age, a mason by occupation and am working every day.October 12, 1911.J. F. BYAM,701 Cherry St., Rome, N.Y.This Man from Missouri Quickly Cured by Cluthe TrussI gladly testify to convince people suffering from rupture that the Cluthe Truss was a sure cure in my case. Experience has convinced me that if anyone ruptured will apply a Cluthe Truss according to the directions it means positive relief, and the only hope for a cure. I cannot recommend the Cluthe Truss too highly.October 5, 1911.CHAS. BECKER,3730 Marcus Ave., St. Louis, Mo.Ruptured for Years—Tried Cluthe Truss—Cured in Two MonthsI had worn several kinds of trusses, which did me no good, but, on the contrary, made me worse all the time. I saw your truss advertised and sent for one to try. I felt better at once. I had suffered for years before, and wore the Cluthe Truss a little over two months; then I did not need a truss any more. Now, I feel all right, and if anyone wants to know what the Cluthe Truss can do for rupture refer them to me, and I will truthfully tell them what it has done for me.November 3, 1911.OREN BACON,R.F.D. No. 12, Erin Road, Medina, N.Y.Cannot Say Too Much for the Cluthe Truss, which Completely Cured His RuptureI am more than glad to recommend your truss at any time. I cannot do too much for the Cluthe folks. My rupture is a complete cure and I have you to thank for it.October 5, 1911.ALEXANDER BRINK,Matamoras, Pa.Cured of as Bad a Scrotal Rupture as Anyone Ever HadI take pleasure in informing you that the Cluthe Truss cured me of as bad a Scrotal Rupture as anyone ever had. I thank you for what you have done for me.December 3, 1911.HENRY B. PALMER,15 5th St., Glens Falls, New York.This Man 70 Years Old Cured by Cluthe TrussI am glad to add my testimony as one who has been cured by the Cluthe Truss. I did not get one with the expectation of being cured, as my rupture was very bad, and I was 70 years of age. I would advise any person, be they young or old, who are afflicted with rupture, not to delay trying a Cluthe Truss and no other, for I have tried many of the others and found them of no good.December 2, 1911.STEPHEN E. BURGESS,Canning, N.S., Canada.This New York City Man has had No Need for Trusses for 2 YearsMy troublesome rupture was perfectly held in place from the day I wore my Cluthe Truss until I found it unnecessary to longer wear the truss, and I have not had a truss on for nearly two years. I consider the Cluthe Truss the best in the world and I am glad to testify as per the above.December 22, 1911.FRED. M. WILLIAMS,c/o W. D. Power & Co.,601 West 33rd St., New York City.Rupture Now Cured and has No More Need of a TrussI have no more need of a truss of any kind, for I am entirely cured of my rupture, and the Cluthe Truss did it. You can use this if it will help anyone else afflicted the same as I was. I haven't worn my truss for some time.December 29, 1911.L. H. WALCUTT,509 E. Oak St., Masillon, OhioThis Arkansas Man Cured by Cluthe Truss After Suffering 20 YearsI cheerfully recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone suffering from rupture. It is the only one I have ever seen, had or heard of that does the work thoroughly. I am practically cured of my rupture through using the Cluthe Truss, after having suffered for 20 years. It is because it is the only truss that will absolutely prevent the rupture from coming down.October 2, 1911.W. B. CURTIS,Haynes, Ark.Cluthe Truss Saves These Two from Surgeon's KnifeMy wife was saved from the knife after a wild midnight ride to the House of Mercy in an ambulance. We can never say too much for the Cluthe Truss. My wife was ruptured for 11 years and suffered great pains at times. We are both nearly cured. She has worn her Cluthe Truss since June of this year and I have worn mine since last Christmas. Many thanks to the Messrs. Cluthe for their wonderful truss.September 26, 1911.MR. AND MRS. D. CHAMBERLAIN,272 So. Dalton Road, Pittsfield, Mass.A Man 79 Years Old Practically Cured in 3 MonthsI have worn your truss about three months and it is worth its weight in gold. I believe I am cured. I forgot to put the truss on different occasions and did not notice my rupture or feel the slightest weakness. I am working every day. The other trusses I wore only made me worse. I shall still wear my Cluthe Truss—I would not take any chances just now. I shall be pleased to recommend it to everyone ruptured.October 10, 1911.JOSEPH DOBINSON,381 Harvard St., Cambridge, Mass.Soon Cured and Never Used Truss SinceI verily believe that your truss is the best of all the trusses made, for after less than a year's use of the Cluthe Truss I laid it away and never had to use any truss since. Hoping that all who have suffered as I have in the past from rupture may find relief from this terrible affliction.October 3, 1911.J. C. DE MOTT,5 West Long Ave., Du Bois, Pa.New Lease of Life for This ManI found the Cluthe Truss as different from all other trusses as a scientific balance is to a vise. I am 70 years old and have always been unable to take long walks, but the first Sunday I had your truss I walked a mile to my house and felt so good that I walked three miles more. Prior to getting your truss I could not walk half a dozen city blocks without great distress. I wish you great success towards suffering mankind.September 6, 1911.JOHN DIVINE,1238 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.Had Probably the Largest Display of Trusses before He Tried the Cluthe, Which Alone HoldsSome months ago I was induced to make just one more venture in buying trusses. I admit that I had but mighty little faith, in fact I was well nigh discouraged. I had probably the finest and largest display of trusses of any man in the country, but none of them would hold my right side rupture. How thankful I am I tried just once more, and bought the Cluthe Truss! It holds splendidly and is so easy to wear that it gives me no trouble whatever.December 19, 1911.H. C. VANDERHOEF,Belmont, New York.Man 76 Years Old CuredMy rupture has been entirely cured by the Cluthe Truss, and I have been without a truss for over a year. What this means, I alone can appreciate, as I am 76 years old.December 22, 1911.CHAS. A. STEIN,210 Catharine St., Elizabeth, New Jersey.Tried All Remedies; Only the Cluthe Could Cure HimAfter suffering 5 years from rupture and trying all the remedies and trusses I could get (all of them failed) finally I ordered a Cluthe Truss, and now I am entirely well. I cannot find words to praise the Cluthe Truss high enough. Thanks to you for the benefits enjoyed from the best thing ever made for rupture.December 19, 1911.ELISHA A. HARTMAN,Terre Alta, W.Va.This Brooklyn, N.Y., Man CuredLet ruptured people know that the Cluthe Truss cured me of my rupture, and that I now have no need for a truss of any kind.December 22, 1911.GEORGE DIEFENBACHER,90 Fountain Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y.Now Well and Strong as She Ever WasI want to thank you for your help. Your Cluthe Truss has cured me completely. I am as well and strong as I ever was. You may use this, for I think anyone afflicted as I was would consider it a great blessing to know how to be cured without an operation.March 28, 1911.MRS. WALTER De LONG,814 North Cherry St., Galesburg, Ill.Practically Cured in a Few MonthsMy rupture is cured, thanks to your truss. I could take my truss off now, but I am going to keep it on a little while longer.October 4, 1911.D. M. DAUGHERTY,532 So. Fairview St., Lock Haven, Pa.No More Need for Trusses NowAfter wearing truss about six months I found I did not need it any more and have used none since. From your grateful friend,October 29, 1911.ISAAC H. ELLIOTT,Waterbury, Vt.This Texas Engineer Gets Instant Relief by Cluthe Truss After Suffering 35 YearsI would not take one thousand dollars and do without your truss if I could not get another exactly like it. I was ruptured July 6, 1876, and have bought all kinds of trusses and things for rupture—but could never get one to hold me. My rupture had just about put me down and out, but now I can ride, lift, do anykindof work, get into all positions and the Cluthe Truss keeps me held without the slightest discomfort. Just think of it—I had suffered since the year 1876 and only since I have had my Cluthe Truss did I get any relief. I am a railroad engineer and train man, a member of the B. of L.F. and E. and I am well-known over much of Texas and Mexico. I cannot make my recommendation too strong.September 30, 1911.O. R. ERWIN,Mabank, Tex.Practically Cured—Recommended Friend DelightedMy rupture has not been out since I got my Cluthe Truss. Sometimes I have taken off my truss and walked around but do not see any indication of the rupture coming out. I suffered so much wearing ordinary trusses, which made my rupture larger and larger, that I do not feel like doing without your truss yet. I consider myself cured but my truss feels so good I do not go out without it. Through my recommendation a friend got one of your trusses and he is delighted.October 4, 1911.W. W. GARDNER,West Paris, Maine.Gained 60 Pounds Since Cluthe Truss Cured His RuptureThe Cluthe Truss positively cured me of a very bad rupture. I have gained 60 pounds since I was cured and am now in the best of health.January 6, 1912.W. H. KAMMERER,3842 N. 6th St., Philadelphia, Penn.Considers Cluthe Truss More Than a Success in His CaseI have worn about all kinds of things for rupture that have been made during the last 25 years and have spent lots of money on them, and can truly say I never had a moment's let-up of pain until I wore a Cluthe Truss. After making the readjustment you advised I would not know I was ruptured, the Truss has been so comfortable. Mine is a severe case of rupture, being quite large. Before I got your truss, my rupture would at times keep me in bed for days at a time.There is only one trouble with people who are ruptured. They are wrongly advised and fly to a druggist and buy a truss like a cigar (I have bought lots of them that way). Then they think all trusses are alike. When I read your advertisement, I had no more faith in you than in any of the rest of them that sell trusses under all sorts of different names. The result of my transaction with you, however, is that I consider that I drew a prize in my Cluthe Truss, and I want to say that you are the first Truss men that ever lived up to their agreement that I ever found.Your truss has held me from the day I received it, April 20, 1911. I could not walk a quarter of a mile before I got it, and could lift no more than a hod of coal. After I had the truss two weeks I could carry a barrel of flour. I have done my garden digging, mowed a lawn, and even raised a 30 ft. ladder all alone. It would take more than a thousand dollars to-day to buy my Cluthe Truss if I couldn't get another like it—that is how I value it. Before I tried your truss my body was full of callous places, made so by the other appliances I wore, but they are all gone now, thanks to the Cluthe Truss. I feel better to-day than I ever have in years. I have written you to some length, but I do it with pleasure.January 1, 1912.JOHN C. BAILEY,75 John St., Newport, R.I.Counts Himself Lucky in Having Heard of Cluthe TrussI can assure you I count myself lucky in having answered your advertisement, which I saw in an old paper, for I owe my present cure to you, and I thank you heartily. I will be glad to speak a word of recommend whenever possible, for I know you are doing good work for humanity.October 13, 1911.WALTER FRANSEEN,Woodhull, Ill.Now Safe and Sound and Needs No TrussI wish to say that your truss has effected a permanent cure of my rupture. I have lately gone without my Cluthe Truss without the slightest trouble or inconvenience.October 13, 1911.LOUIS FRIDAY,4 Steuben St., Schenectady, N.Y.Believes He is Cured by Cluthe TrussI believe I am cured, but as I am doing heavy work I am not going to take the chance just yet to prove it, until I have lighter work to do.September 26, 1911.JAMES W. GRANT,Creede, Colo.Worst Ruptured Man in Town Completely Cured in 5 MonthsHave been thinking for some time about writing you, how the truss I got of you last April was working. I am happy to inform you that I could throw the truss off altogether without any danger of my rupture coming out. It was said that I was the worst ruptured man in town. It was almost as large as a cocoanut—I could not get a truss that would hold it up. I could not go anywhere, I was in pain most of the time. The doctor told me I could never get a truss that would hold me. Several times my daughter went to the 'phone to call the doctor to operate on me, but the Cluthe Truss saved my life. I would have paid any money for it. I recommended your truss to my brother-in-law and received a letter from him yesterday in which he says that it is the best investment he ever made. What I write you I can truthfully tell to anyone ruptured. You can use this letter as you see fit.October 4, 1911.J. H. GODDARD,747 E. Main St., Ravenna,Ohio.Glad to Pass This Cure on to Any One AfflictedBefore using the Cluthe Truss I had a rupture that was never in place. It troubled me in a great many ways, and it was also very sore at times. I had to put my hand in my pocket and push the rupture back into place repeatedly during the day, and glad to state that the Cluthe Truss cured this troublesome rupture, and I am only too glad to pass your cure on to some person who is afflicted as I was.October 20, 1911.WM. HUNTER,101 Cleveland St., Central Falls, R.I.This Man Cured by Cluthe Truss After 14 Years of SufferingI can never forget the good the Cluthe Truss has done for me. After 14 years of suffering I tried the Cluthe Truss, which entirely cured me. It is now three years since I have worn any truss at all. It took your truss only one year to cure me and make a new man of me, after everything else I tried had failed.January 1, 1912.DANIEL R. WRIGHT,Little Neck, L.I., New York.Another of the Thousands of New Yorkers Cured by Cluthe TrussI have not worn my Cluthe Truss since last June, and have been doing hard work and heavy lifting without even feeling the strain of work. In fact I feel just as if I had never been ruptured or worn a truss in my life.December 28, 1911.LOUIS BERNET,443 St. Ann's Ave., (Bronx), New York City.Cluthe Truss the Only Relief After Suffering and Searching 35 YearsI had been ruptured all my life and am now 35 years old and never could get anything that would give me relief from my rupture sufferings until I got a Cluthe Truss. To-day I could go without my truss, because it has cured my rupture.October 4, 1911.W. R. BUCK,Upper Marlboro, Md.Cured by Cluthe Truss—His Rupture No Longer AppearsI will gladly do anything in my power to help another sufferer, that is why I can say to all that the Cluthe Truss is the easiest truss to wear I ever had, and I have tried many. My rupture has not appeared for the last two months, so the prospects are that I am cured.September 29, 1911.ADAM BREHM,609 No. Garfield Ave., Burlington, Iowa.Has Not Worn a Truss for 2 Years and is as Sound as He Ever WasThe Cluthe Truss is the best thing for rupture that I ever heard of. It cured me of my rupture completely. I have not worn a truss of any kind for 2 years, and am as sound to-day as I ever was, all through the use of your truss.December 26, 1911.JAMES H. RODENBOUGH,162 Bayway St. Elizabeth, New Jersey.The Cluthe Truss Entirely Cured HimI wish to state that your truss has entirely cured my rupture. You may refer any person to me at my address.October 19, 1911.H. CRANE,26 Mynderse St., Schenectady, N.Y.Has Not Needed or Worn Any Truss for MonthsI have not had my Cluthe Truss on for the last 4 months, and my rupture has not shown or bothered me in the least. Your Truss has certainly cured my rupture. I had three other kinds of trusses before I got yours and could not wear any of them, because they hurt me so.October 13, 1911.ERVIN S. COLE,R.F.D. No. 3, Norwich, N.Y.Says Law Should Be Passed to Stop Sale of Drug Store TrussesYour truss has cured me. At least my rupture never comes out when I have the truss off for 2 or 3 hours at a time. I think your truss is the only perfect device for rupture made. There ought to be a law passed prohibiting drug stores from selling those so-called trusses that don't hold or give a man a minute's peace.October 26, 1911.J. C. HOUSEMAN,813 No. 18th St., East St. Louis, Ill.This Retired Railroad Man Cured by Cluthe TrussUse my name in the hope that it may benefit some one afflicted as I was, but now restored.October 26, 1911.H. B. HAMMON, Bristolville, Ohio.Believes He is Cured After a Few Months WearI have not missed wearing my Cluthe Truss a day since I got it. I believe I am cured, but as I had so much trouble before I got your truss, I thought I would wear it a little longer, as it does not bother me in any way.October 9, 1911.A. S. HOLLOMON,Trimble, Tenn.Says Results Have Proved Good Judgment of His Faith in the Cluthe PropositionI could not exaggerate the facts in connection with the great good secured to me from the use of the Cluthe Truss. I have had more pleasure in life since using your Truss than during all the 50 or more years before.The very minute I read your proposition I knew you were on the square and onto your job and I made no mistake in my judgment.November 18, 1911.CHAS.W. SHIVELL,c/o West Hotel, Minneapolis, Minn.Wonderfully BenefitedI have been wonderfully benefited, perhaps cured, by using the Cluthe Truss, and would suggest to every sufferer from rupture to throw away all other trusses and secure a Cluthe, as they cannot possibly make a mistake in its use. My truss is as good now as the day I received it from you.October 4, 1911.J. C. HERSHBERGER,West Church St., Williamsport, Md.Feels No Trouble Whatever from Either RuptureI still wear the double truss I purchased last March. I think I am cured, as I feel no trouble whatever from either rupture, but the truss is so comfortable I have continued to wear it.September 30, 1911.C. A. HAZEN,Woodsville, N.H.This Newark, N.J., Man Cured of Worst Kind of Scrotal Rupture by the Cluthe TrussYour great truss cured me of a scrotal rupture of the worst form, after years of suffering, having tried at least 20 other makes of trusses, etc., which did me no good except caused me more suffering. I wish you continued success in aiding suffering mankind.December 29, 1911.F. A. ZIPF,47 Tichenor St., Newark, New Jersey.Cluthe Truss Freed Him From Pain at Once—Now CuredI feel I am cured of my rupture but continue to wear the truss for protection. I never had any benefit whatever from any other appliances I ever tried. In regard to the Cluthe Truss, I feel as though I was in Heaven (as it were), as it freed me from pain at once.December 23, 1911.JOHN B. TIGER,829 E. Jersey St., Elizabeth, New Jersey.The Cluthe Truss the Only Help He Found for His RuptureI will gladly tell anyone suffering from rupture that I am more than pleased with my Cluthe Truss. Of all the things I have tried for my rupture, the Cluthe Truss is the only thing that ever helped me. I believe it will cure me entirely. I have not felt the slightest pain since I put the truss on.September 22, 1911.W. F. BOSTEN,1113 Oregon St., South Muscatine, Iowa.Found Cluthe Truss a God-sendI have worn your best grade truss since last March. It has given me perfect satisfaction as well as to my friend, Mr. R. M., a man 82 years old, to whom I recommended your truss. Before I tried yours I wore one ordered by my physician. It caused me great suffering, and I was unable to do any lifting or stooping whatever. The doctor then informed me no truss could help me. I then happened to hear of the Cluthe Truss, which I ordered and has been a God-send to me. I am able to work every day. You can use this letter in any manner you see fit.September 26, 1911.FRED A. HALBERT,716 Logan St., La Crosse, Wis.But for Cluthe Truss, Probably Would Not Have Lived to Write ThisTo be honest with you, I don'tbelieve I would be here to write this if ithadnot been for the Cluthe Truss. Can truthfully say I have been wonderfully benefited, and feelasthough my rupture is cured. I strongly advise all ruptured people to try the Cluthe Truss and be convinced.October 3, 1911.E. E. JOHNSON,R.F.D. No. 2, Haviland, Kansas.Prominent Saratoga, N.Y., Man Cured of Long-Standing Rupture in One YearMy case was a severe scrotal one, with ruptures on both the right and left sides. It had been in peril of my life for a number of years, receiving no relief from different trusses which I tried. Fortunately I learned of yours, and now after only a year's use, I am completely cured.October 6, 1911.B. F. JUDSON,(Veteran of Civil War. Ex-postmaster of Saratoga Springs for 18 years. Publisher and proprietor of Daily "Saratogan" for 25 years.)Saratoga Springs, N.Y.Was a Godsend to HimThe Cluthe Truss I purchased of you was a godsend to me. I found that it did all that you led me to believe it would do.September 29, 1911.HERMAN LOHLEY,4111 Humboldt Ave., Chicago, Ill.Cured in Eight MonthsI can truthfully say I am a well man. You may, with the greatest of pleasure, use my testimony it if will help anyone who is afflicted with rupture, and I will do all in my power to induce others that I know and suffer as I did before I was wise enough to try the Cluthe Truss. May God crown you in all your efforts, and give you great success.November 3, 1911.F. DUDLEY KNAPP,Housatonic, Mass.Cured His Rupture and also His FriendsIn justice to you I will state that I am permanently cured, by use of your truss, and have not been very quiet in recommending your treatment to others similarly afflicted. A neighbor sent for your truss at my solicitation, and he tells me that he, too, is completely cured. We fully appreciate the great good you are doing.October 4, 1911.A. W. KEDDIE,Quincy, Cal.Nine Months of Cluthe Truss Comfort Cures This ManI must thank you for all the good your truss has done me. Since wearing your truss, I have felt like a different man. I have worn it only nine months, and can truthfully say that I am completely cured of my rupture.October 13, 1911.FREDERICK L. KLINGLER,Rexburg, Idaho.This Missouri Doctor CuredI believe my rupture is cured, although I have worn the Cluthe Truss only about three or four months. I have not lost a day out of the saddle since I received the truss. Before, I could only walk my horse with other trusses I wore, but with my Cluthe I could ride just as well as I could before I was ruptured. Yours is so perfectly easy one does not know one has it on. I will be seventy-three years old next month. I cannot speak too highly of your truss. I don't see how it could be improved upon. From my own personal experience, I would say that anyone ruptured who follows your simple directions, is on a quick road to complete recovery the moment he wears a Cluthe Truss.November 10, 1911.DR. D. J. McCONNAHA,New Bloomfield, Mo.This Oregon Man CuredI am almost sure I am cured. Your truss is so easy that I feel lonesome lost unless I have it on. Consequently, I wear it most of the time. I tried five different kinds before I was fortunate enough to hear of the Cluthe Truss. I am doing a little missionary work for you all the time in appreciation of the great good your truss did for me.October 10, 1911.C. E. MAXSON,Harrisburg, Ore.Thinks Cluthe Cure a Great ThingI think I am permanently cured. I cannot recommend your truss too strongly to anyone I know who has a rupture. Some of my neighbors have already sent to you for advice and treatment, and others will do so soon. I consider the Cluthe cure a great thing.November 21, 1911.S. L. LEE,Quincy, Cal.Quick Cure by Cluthe TrussI have had my Cluthe Truss only two months, and believe I am cured right up. I can honestly say that your truss has done for me what no other truss ever did, that is hold the rupture up, and to think that it even cured me. Of course I shall continue to wear the truss some time, although no rupture shows when I leave the truss off. I believe your truss is sure to cure most people with rupture, if they would only buy it.November 16, 1911.JAMES T. McDONALD,45 St. Patrick St., Goderich, Ontario, Can.Has Not Had to Wear Any Truss for YearsI am sure my rupture, which was cured by a Cluthe Truss, will never come out again, now after so long. I have been without pain for years. I have gladly recommended the Cluthe Truss at all times, for I know what wonders your truss did in my case.October 19, 1911.JOHN M. McDONALD,30 Union St., Dominion No. 1, N.S., Can.Tried All Kinds, but Only the Cluthe CuredI purchased your truss about eighteen months ago. It cured my rupture. Previously I had tried all kinds of trusses, but it remained for the Cluthe Truss to cure me. It is the only one worthy of the name.October 18, 1911.JOHN McNAMARA,861 West Main St., Greenfield, Ind.This British Columbian Man CuredI can go about without my truss, but I wear it at my work, as I feel safer with it on. I find it most comfortable.October 17, 1911.THOMAS MILBURN,Victoria, B.C., Can.Cured for GoodI cannot speak too highly of the Cluthe Truss. It has stood by me constantly while before I got your truss I could get nothing that would give me any relief. Yours has done the work, for I believe that the rupture is entirely healed.October 13, 1911.FRANK MIXER,R.F.D. No. 1, Box 12, Whittier, Cal.Practically Cured in Five MonthsYour truss has done me more good in five months than all the others I wore before I got the Cluthe Truss. I put it on the 20th of May, and from that time to this the rupture never showed. I now know that my rupture is completely cured, because I have not worn the truss for weeks, and feel no weakness on account of not wearing it. Let any ruptured man know what I write here, hoping the Giver of Goodwill will always smile on me.October 13, 1911.J. L. MOSS,Atwood, Ala.Cluthe Truss Hangs in Closet While He Does His Work, CuredI can truthfully say I am cured by the use of your truss. I believe it is the best truss ever invented by man. It did for me just what you said it would. My truss is now hanging up in a closet in my house, and I don't have to use it at all. Anyone can write to me if they don't believe what you say.

MITCHELL,Olympus, Texas.Ruptured Ten Years; Cured by Cluthe TrussI had suffered for ten years, and will admit that when I purchased your truss I did not expect it to cure me, for the reason that I had been disappointed by so many different makes or makers. I shall gladly recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone that I shall come in contact with, who is suffering with a rupture.October 6, 1911.E. SCOTT MORGAN,5619 Georgia Ave., Washington, D.C.Doctor Says in Six Months Will Be Entirely CuredMy rupturesare so nowthat they do not come down without the truss, but my doctor says to wear it forsixmonths longer, and then I will be able to go without the truss altogether. I have only had the Cluthe Truss four months.September 27, 1911.MRS. J. G. MILLER,1104 7th Ave., Seattle, Wash.Cluthe Truss Makes Him a Different ManI do not know how to express my gratitude to you. Money could not buy my Cluthe Truss from me. My health is so much better and I feel so different than I used to before I purchased your truss. I was always afraid to go ahead and do any work, fearful of the consequences, but now I never think of it, for I feel absolutely safe. I am confident that if I knew about your truss sooner than I did, I would be a well man to-day.October 2, 1911.CHARLES McDONALD,Sheridan, Ore.Tried the Whole Category of Trusses, and Finds Only Cluthe Makes GoodIt gives me much pleasure to state the truth about the Cluthe Truss. I found it the best truss I ever tried, for I have tried about the whole category of trusses, and no truss ever did me any real good until I purchased this one, which I have worn for about four months with comfort. I have not had a moment of trouble with my rupture since putting the Cluthe Truss on. I believe myself to be cured. I have worked hard all the time, doing work that I could not have done before I had my Cluthe Truss.October 3, 1911.HUDSON MILLS,Hooser, Kan.Almost Cured in Three MonthsI am almost cured already, although I have worn the truss only three months.

MYERS,Ilwaco, Wash.Took Six Months to Cure This RuptureI am glad to state that after wearing your truss since last February I feel I am cured to stay cured.

The truss is just as good as the day I bought it.October 25, 1911.O. NORBECK,1079 17th Ave., Minneapolis, Minn.Cured in Five MonthsI purchased my Cluthe Truss last February, wore it five months, and have not had to wear any truss since.From the first day I put it on to this present day, the rupture has never been out or bothered me in any way, and I have done lifting and all kinds of heavy work all this time. So I have reason to feel sure I am cured.September 30, 1911.CHARLES T. NASS,Robinsons Corner, N.S., Can.Cluthe Truss Does What Physician Advises Only Surgical Operation Could DoI have been so greatly benefited by your truss that I feel myself practically cured. I suffered sixteen years and tried many different trusses during that time. Physicians advised me to go through an operation. Your truss gave me relief the first day. I cannot speak too highly of if. I cannot recommend it too strongly to anyone afflicted.October 4, 1911.ZEPHANIAH PARKS,R.F.D. No. 1, Saco, Maine.Never Saw Rupture Since Wearing Cluthe TrussMy rupture has never come out since I got the truss, and I have often left my truss off all day without any signs of the rupture showing.

NEAL,136 Race Path St., Fayetteville, N.C.Man Seventy-two Years Old CuredI take pleasure in aiding all my friends who are ruptured. I am entirely cured, and do not need to wear a truss now.

A. PRICE,906 Cruise St., Corinth, Miss.This Case of Double Rupture CuredAm writing you to let you know what your truss has done for me. My ruptures are both healed up perfectly sound.

I have only worn the truss a few weeks and would not expect a cure of my case so soon. I work about fourteen hours a day, and am on my feet all day long.

A. N. SMITH,Van Buren, Ohio.Prominent Arkansas Man Quickly CuredIt is only in justice to you, and a great pleasure to me that now after wearing your truss for 90 days, to say that I find my rupture back in place and that it does not come down without the truss.

I am 67 years of age, and during that time I have tried over 25 different trusses and treatments for rupture.October 13, 1911.A. H.

SCHMIDT,2275 Archer Ave., Chicago, Ill.Cured In Seven Months While Indulging in Athletic SportsI had tried several so-called trusses with poor results up to last May, when you fitted me, and I can positively state that from that day my rupture has not been down since. I indulge in athletic sports, in swimming and bathing and wore your truss in the water with no inconvenience whatever.

You may use the above for recommendation if you wish.FRANK A. PLUNKETT,25 Water St., New York City.Absolutely Cured by the Cluthe TrussAbout August, 1909, I began using your truss for rupture.

And herewith greetings and heartfelt thanks, for I know your members to be great benefactors to suffering humanity.Before I bought my Cluthe truss I was examined by two "doctors."

No. 1, Smyrna Mills, Maine.This Chicagoan Cured in 3 MonthsAfter I had worn your truss three months, I noticed that the rupture did not appear as formerly on retiring at night. An instance—my cat had a fit one night, I jumped out of bed very hurriedly, grabbed the cat, rushed down two flights of stairs and threw the cat out on the porch.When I returned to my room I thought of the truss, not having thought to put it on before going downstairs—was overjoyed to find that there was no sign of the rupture; this was several months ago and there has been no return of the rupture since.

I, at first, doubted its full value as I thought my rupture was incurable, but subsequent results have proved my error. Ever since my birth I have endured the pains and torture of a rupture until I started to wear your truss, which was nearly eight months ago. I am now entirely cured of my rupture—thanks to the Cluthe Truss.

PIERCE,1 Crown St., Worcester, Mass.Ruptured 30 Years, Believes He is Now CuredI have been ruptured for 30 years and have worn a good many kinds of trusses and I never got one that did not nearly kill me at times. My doctor has been trying for years to have me undergo an operation, and I nearly made up my mind to have an operation when I saw your advertisement in the Chicago Tribune.I decided to try once more to get a truss, and after thinking about it and putting it off for six months I finally purchased one of your trusses three months ago. If I had only sent for one when I first started I would not need to wear a truss now.My rupture was a large one and since wearing your truss the rupture has never been out. I can now stand on my feet without the truss on and rupture does not show—the opening seems to be closed.I feel so grateful for the relief that I cannot help but thank you and any time you wish to have anyone call on me I will gladly recommend you.W. H. BRUCE,204 East 54th St., Chicago, Ill.Proof of Permanency of Cure by Cluthe Truss Years AgoThe truss purchased of you years ago gave me permanent relief and cure. While I was always skeptical as to a permanent cure of rupture by means of a truss the fact remains that after following your advice and instruction, I have been going about without a truss, doing all kinds of work same as I did prior to becoming ruptured.

LEINBERGER,Route No. 1, Souderton, Pa.Now Freed of His Rupture TroubleI was in awful misery before I ordered a Cluthe Truss and as soon as I put it on I felt like a new man. I can now leave truss off without detecting the least sign or feeling of the rupture. I most highly recommend the Cluthe Truss to any one who is ruptured and wish to give you my best thanks for what it has done for me.ADAM DEHSOY,South Milwaukee, Wis.Did Not Believe Cluthe Truss Would Cure, Now Happily Disappointed
The physical layout of the signature blocks in the testimonials has been slightly regularized. No text was added or deleted.
With pleasure I beg to submit the following facts in my own case at which I was greatly surprised. I am 53 years old, and was badly ruptured when 4 years old, on both right and left sides. The right side rupture failed to be held by any and all kinds of trusses until I put on a Cluthe Truss. I can now remove the truss and feel no symptoms of Hernia. Now, how is this for a cure in eight months? I take pleasure, as a physician and surgeon, in recommending the Cluthe Truss to any and all sufferers from Hernia. I have fitted Cluthe Trusses on four other patients, three of whom are already well and the fourth greatly improved. You have my permission to use this testimonial as you please, and I hope it may be the means of others, suffering from rupture, resorting at once to a Cluthe Truss.
After trying a drug store truss and a strap without getting either to hold my rupture, which was getting larger all the time, I tried a Cluthe Truss, which has worked wonders in my case. In my work as a plumber I have to get into every conceivable position, often tie up in a knot, as it were, but my Cluthe Truss never failed; never shifted a fraction of an inch. I often go without my truss without the slightest sign of rupture or feeling of weakness. After what I suffered and considering the size of my rupture before I was lucky enough to hear of you, you can realize how strongly I can recommend anyone ruptured to send for a Cluthe Truss and save the money he would waste in buying any of the makeshifts.
When I was first ruptured I bought a truss and tried to wear it. This was fitted by a local dealer time and time again—but I could not wear it. I then tried another local dealer with the same result. I was then induced to try another truss but could not get any relief. Then, I noticed your advertisement. It seemed impossible to me then that you could do by measurement, which I was to send you, what the local dealers could not do when I was personally present. However, I did send for your truss, expecting only to get a truss that I could wear with comfort. I wore it some months—after a while I would forget to put it on, and would go for a day or two without it. Each time I would go longer without it—then some weeks I discarded it entirely. I consider that I am entirely cured of my rupture. I cannot express to you how grateful I am to you and without solicitation on your part I am writing you this letter to show you my appreciation of your efforts. I am now 72 years of age, a mason by occupation and am working every day.
I gladly testify to convince people suffering from rupture that the Cluthe Truss was a sure cure in my case. Experience has convinced me that if anyone ruptured will apply a Cluthe Truss according to the directions it means positive relief, and the only hope for a cure. I cannot recommend the Cluthe Truss too highly.
I had worn several kinds of trusses, which did me no good, but, on the contrary, made me worse all the time. I saw your truss advertised and sent for one to try. I felt better at once. I had suffered for years before, and wore the Cluthe Truss a little over two months; then I did not need a truss any more. Now, I feel all right, and if anyone wants to know what the Cluthe Truss can do for rupture refer them to me, and I will truthfully tell them what it has done for me.
I am more than glad to recommend your truss at any time. I cannot do too much for the Cluthe folks. My rupture is a complete cure and I have you to thank for it.
I take pleasure in informing you that the Cluthe Truss cured me of as bad a Scrotal Rupture as anyone ever had. I thank you for what you have done for me.
I am glad to add my testimony as one who has been cured by the Cluthe Truss. I did not get one with the expectation of being cured, as my rupture was very bad, and I was 70 years of age. I would advise any person, be they young or old, who are afflicted with rupture, not to delay trying a Cluthe Truss and no other, for I have tried many of the others and found them of no good.
My troublesome rupture was perfectly held in place from the day I wore my Cluthe Truss until I found it unnecessary to longer wear the truss, and I have not had a truss on for nearly two years. I consider the Cluthe Truss the best in the world and I am glad to testify as per the above.
I have no more need of a truss of any kind, for I am entirely cured of my rupture, and the Cluthe Truss did it. You can use this if it will help anyone else afflicted the same as I was. I haven't worn my truss for some time.
I cheerfully recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone suffering from rupture. It is the only one I have ever seen, had or heard of that does the work thoroughly. I am practically cured of my rupture through using the Cluthe Truss, after having suffered for 20 years. It is because it is the only truss that will absolutely prevent the rupture from coming down.
My wife was saved from the knife after a wild midnight ride to the House of Mercy in an ambulance. We can never say too much for the Cluthe Truss. My wife was ruptured for 11 years and suffered great pains at times. We are both nearly cured. She has worn her Cluthe Truss since June of this year and I have worn mine since last Christmas. Many thanks to the Messrs. Cluthe for their wonderful truss.
I have worn your truss about three months and it is worth its weight in gold. I believe I am cured. I forgot to put the truss on different occasions and did not notice my rupture or feel the slightest weakness. I am working every day. The other trusses I wore only made me worse. I shall still wear my Cluthe Truss—I would not take any chances just now. I shall be pleased to recommend it to everyone ruptured.
I verily believe that your truss is the best of all the trusses made, for after less than a year's use of the Cluthe Truss I laid it away and never had to use any truss since. Hoping that all who have suffered as I have in the past from rupture may find relief from this terrible affliction.
I found the Cluthe Truss as different from all other trusses as a scientific balance is to a vise. I am 70 years old and have always been unable to take long walks, but the first Sunday I had your truss I walked a mile to my house and felt so good that I walked three miles more. Prior to getting your truss I could not walk half a dozen city blocks without great distress. I wish you great success towards suffering mankind.
Some months ago I was induced to make just one more venture in buying trusses. I admit that I had but mighty little faith, in fact I was well nigh discouraged. I had probably the finest and largest display of trusses of any man in the country, but none of them would hold my right side rupture. How thankful I am I tried just once more, and bought the Cluthe Truss! It holds splendidly and is so easy to wear that it gives me no trouble whatever.
My rupture has been entirely cured by the Cluthe Truss, and I have been without a truss for over a year. What this means, I alone can appreciate, as I am 76 years old.
After suffering 5 years from rupture and trying all the remedies and trusses I could get (all of them failed) finally I ordered a Cluthe Truss, and now I am entirely well. I cannot find words to praise the Cluthe Truss high enough. Thanks to you for the benefits enjoyed from the best thing ever made for rupture.
Let ruptured people know that the Cluthe Truss cured me of my rupture, and that I now have no need for a truss of any kind.
I want to thank you for your help. Your Cluthe Truss has cured me completely. I am as well and strong as I ever was. You may use this, for I think anyone afflicted as I was would consider it a great blessing to know how to be cured without an operation.
My rupture is cured, thanks to your truss. I could take my truss off now, but I am going to keep it on a little while longer.
After wearing truss about six months I found I did not need it any more and have used none since. From your grateful friend,
I would not take one thousand dollars and do without your truss if I could not get another exactly like it. I was ruptured July 6, 1876, and have bought all kinds of trusses and things for rupture—but could never get one to hold me. My rupture had just about put me down and out, but now I can ride, lift, do anykindof work, get into all positions and the Cluthe Truss keeps me held without the slightest discomfort. Just think of it—I had suffered since the year 1876 and only since I have had my Cluthe Truss did I get any relief. I am a railroad engineer and train man, a member of the B. of L.F. and E. and I am well-known over much of Texas and Mexico. I cannot make my recommendation too strong.
My rupture has not been out since I got my Cluthe Truss. Sometimes I have taken off my truss and walked around but do not see any indication of the rupture coming out. I suffered so much wearing ordinary trusses, which made my rupture larger and larger, that I do not feel like doing without your truss yet. I consider myself cured but my truss feels so good I do not go out without it. Through my recommendation a friend got one of your trusses and he is delighted.
The Cluthe Truss positively cured me of a very bad rupture. I have gained 60 pounds since I was cured and am now in the best of health.
I have worn about all kinds of things for rupture that have been made during the last 25 years and have spent lots of money on them, and can truly say I never had a moment's let-up of pain until I wore a Cluthe Truss. After making the readjustment you advised I would not know I was ruptured, the Truss has been so comfortable. Mine is a severe case of rupture, being quite large. Before I got your truss, my rupture would at times keep me in bed for days at a time.
There is only one trouble with people who are ruptured. They are wrongly advised and fly to a druggist and buy a truss like a cigar (I have bought lots of them that way). Then they think all trusses are alike. When I read your advertisement, I had no more faith in you than in any of the rest of them that sell trusses under all sorts of different names. The result of my transaction with you, however, is that I consider that I drew a prize in my Cluthe Truss, and I want to say that you are the first Truss men that ever lived up to their agreement that I ever found.
Your truss has held me from the day I received it, April 20, 1911. I could not walk a quarter of a mile before I got it, and could lift no more than a hod of coal. After I had the truss two weeks I could carry a barrel of flour. I have done my garden digging, mowed a lawn, and even raised a 30 ft. ladder all alone. It would take more than a thousand dollars to-day to buy my Cluthe Truss if I couldn't get another like it—that is how I value it. Before I tried your truss my body was full of callous places, made so by the other appliances I wore, but they are all gone now, thanks to the Cluthe Truss. I feel better to-day than I ever have in years. I have written you to some length, but I do it with pleasure.
I can assure you I count myself lucky in having answered your advertisement, which I saw in an old paper, for I owe my present cure to you, and I thank you heartily. I will be glad to speak a word of recommend whenever possible, for I know you are doing good work for humanity.
I wish to say that your truss has effected a permanent cure of my rupture. I have lately gone without my Cluthe Truss without the slightest trouble or inconvenience.
I believe I am cured, but as I am doing heavy work I am not going to take the chance just yet to prove it, until I have lighter work to do.
Have been thinking for some time about writing you, how the truss I got of you last April was working. I am happy to inform you that I could throw the truss off altogether without any danger of my rupture coming out. It was said that I was the worst ruptured man in town. It was almost as large as a cocoanut—I could not get a truss that would hold it up. I could not go anywhere, I was in pain most of the time. The doctor told me I could never get a truss that would hold me. Several times my daughter went to the 'phone to call the doctor to operate on me, but the Cluthe Truss saved my life. I would have paid any money for it. I recommended your truss to my brother-in-law and received a letter from him yesterday in which he says that it is the best investment he ever made. What I write you I can truthfully tell to anyone ruptured. You can use this letter as you see fit.
Before using the Cluthe Truss I had a rupture that was never in place. It troubled me in a great many ways, and it was also very sore at times. I had to put my hand in my pocket and push the rupture back into place repeatedly during the day, and glad to state that the Cluthe Truss cured this troublesome rupture, and I am only too glad to pass your cure on to some person who is afflicted as I was.
I can never forget the good the Cluthe Truss has done for me. After 14 years of suffering I tried the Cluthe Truss, which entirely cured me. It is now three years since I have worn any truss at all. It took your truss only one year to cure me and make a new man of me, after everything else I tried had failed.
I have not worn my Cluthe Truss since last June, and have been doing hard work and heavy lifting without even feeling the strain of work. In fact I feel just as if I had never been ruptured or worn a truss in my life.
I had been ruptured all my life and am now 35 years old and never could get anything that would give me relief from my rupture sufferings until I got a Cluthe Truss. To-day I could go without my truss, because it has cured my rupture.
I will gladly do anything in my power to help another sufferer, that is why I can say to all that the Cluthe Truss is the easiest truss to wear I ever had, and I have tried many. My rupture has not appeared for the last two months, so the prospects are that I am cured.
The Cluthe Truss is the best thing for rupture that I ever heard of. It cured me of my rupture completely. I have not worn a truss of any kind for 2 years, and am as sound to-day as I ever was, all through the use of your truss.
I wish to state that your truss has entirely cured my rupture. You may refer any person to me at my address.
I have not had my Cluthe Truss on for the last 4 months, and my rupture has not shown or bothered me in the least. Your Truss has certainly cured my rupture. I had three other kinds of trusses before I got yours and could not wear any of them, because they hurt me so.
Your truss has cured me. At least my rupture never comes out when I have the truss off for 2 or 3 hours at a time. I think your truss is the only perfect device for rupture made. There ought to be a law passed prohibiting drug stores from selling those so-called trusses that don't hold or give a man a minute's peace.
Use my name in the hope that it may benefit some one afflicted as I was, but now restored.
I have not missed wearing my Cluthe Truss a day since I got it. I believe I am cured, but as I had so much trouble before I got your truss, I thought I would wear it a little longer, as it does not bother me in any way.
I could not exaggerate the facts in connection with the great good secured to me from the use of the Cluthe Truss. I have had more pleasure in life since using your Truss than during all the 50 or more years before.
The very minute I read your proposition I knew you were on the square and onto your job and I made no mistake in my judgment.
I have been wonderfully benefited, perhaps cured, by using the Cluthe Truss, and would suggest to every sufferer from rupture to throw away all other trusses and secure a Cluthe, as they cannot possibly make a mistake in its use. My truss is as good now as the day I received it from you.
I still wear the double truss I purchased last March. I think I am cured, as I feel no trouble whatever from either rupture, but the truss is so comfortable I have continued to wear it.
Your great truss cured me of a scrotal rupture of the worst form, after years of suffering, having tried at least 20 other makes of trusses, etc., which did me no good except caused me more suffering. I wish you continued success in aiding suffering mankind.
I feel I am cured of my rupture but continue to wear the truss for protection. I never had any benefit whatever from any other appliances I ever tried. In regard to the Cluthe Truss, I feel as though I was in Heaven (as it were), as it freed me from pain at once.
I will gladly tell anyone suffering from rupture that I am more than pleased with my Cluthe Truss. Of all the things I have tried for my rupture, the Cluthe Truss is the only thing that ever helped me. I believe it will cure me entirely. I have not felt the slightest pain since I put the truss on.
I have worn your best grade truss since last March. It has given me perfect satisfaction as well as to my friend, Mr. R. M., a man 82 years old, to whom I recommended your truss. Before I tried yours I wore one ordered by my physician. It caused me great suffering, and I was unable to do any lifting or stooping whatever. The doctor then informed me no truss could help me. I then happened to hear of the Cluthe Truss, which I ordered and has been a God-send to me. I am able to work every day. You can use this letter in any manner you see fit.
To be honest with you, I don'tbelieve I would be here to write this if ithadnot been for the Cluthe Truss. Can truthfully say I have been wonderfully benefited, and feelasthough my rupture is cured. I strongly advise all ruptured people to try the Cluthe Truss and be convinced.
My case was a severe scrotal one, with ruptures on both the right and left sides. It had been in peril of my life for a number of years, receiving no relief from different trusses which I tried. Fortunately I learned of yours, and now after only a year's use, I am completely cured.
The Cluthe Truss I purchased of you was a godsend to me. I found that it did all that you led me to believe it would do.
I can truthfully say I am a well man. You may, with the greatest of pleasure, use my testimony it if will help anyone who is afflicted with rupture, and I will do all in my power to induce others that I know and suffer as I did before I was wise enough to try the Cluthe Truss. May God crown you in all your efforts, and give you great success.
In justice to you I will state that I am permanently cured, by use of your truss, and have not been very quiet in recommending your treatment to others similarly afflicted. A neighbor sent for your truss at my solicitation, and he tells me that he, too, is completely cured. We fully appreciate the great good you are doing.
I must thank you for all the good your truss has done me. Since wearing your truss, I have felt like a different man. I have worn it only nine months, and can truthfully say that I am completely cured of my rupture.
I believe my rupture is cured, although I have worn the Cluthe Truss only about three or four months. I have not lost a day out of the saddle since I received the truss. Before, I could only walk my horse with other trusses I wore, but with my Cluthe I could ride just as well as I could before I was ruptured. Yours is so perfectly easy one does not know one has it on. I will be seventy-three years old next month. I cannot speak too highly of your truss. I don't see how it could be improved upon. From my own personal experience, I would say that anyone ruptured who follows your simple directions, is on a quick road to complete recovery the moment he wears a Cluthe Truss.
I am almost sure I am cured. Your truss is so easy that I feel lonesome lost unless I have it on. Consequently, I wear it most of the time. I tried five different kinds before I was fortunate enough to hear of the Cluthe Truss. I am doing a little missionary work for you all the time in appreciation of the great good your truss did for me.
I think I am permanently cured. I cannot recommend your truss too strongly to anyone I know who has a rupture. Some of my neighbors have already sent to you for advice and treatment, and others will do so soon. I consider the Cluthe cure a great thing.
I have had my Cluthe Truss only two months, and believe I am cured right up. I can honestly say that your truss has done for me what no other truss ever did, that is hold the rupture up, and to think that it even cured me. Of course I shall continue to wear the truss some time, although no rupture shows when I leave the truss off. I believe your truss is sure to cure most people with rupture, if they would only buy it.
I am sure my rupture, which was cured by a Cluthe Truss, will never come out again, now after so long. I have been without pain for years. I have gladly recommended the Cluthe Truss at all times, for I know what wonders your truss did in my case.
I purchased your truss about eighteen months ago. It cured my rupture. Previously I had tried all kinds of trusses, but it remained for the Cluthe Truss to cure me. It is the only one worthy of the name.
I can go about without my truss, but I wear it at my work, as I feel safer with it on. I find it most comfortable.
I cannot speak too highly of the Cluthe Truss. It has stood by me constantly while before I got your truss I could get nothing that would give me any relief. Yours has done the work, for I believe that the rupture is entirely healed.
Your truss has done me more good in five months than all the others I wore before I got the Cluthe Truss. I put it on the 20th of May, and from that time to this the rupture never showed. I now know that my rupture is completely cured, because I have not worn the truss for weeks, and feel no weakness on account of not wearing it. Let any ruptured man know what I write here, hoping the Giver of Goodwill will always smile on me.
I can truthfully say I am cured by the use of your truss. I believe it is the best truss ever invented by man. It did for me just what you said it would. My truss is now hanging up in a closet in my house, and I don't have to use it at all. Anyone can write to me if they don't believe what you say. So give this to the suffering people of this land, for why should it not do for thousands of others what it has done for me?
I had suffered for ten years, and will admit that when I purchased your truss I did not expect it to cure me, for the reason that I had been disappointed by so many different makes or makers. I shall gladly recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone that I shall come in contact with, who is suffering with a rupture.
My rupturesare so nowthat they do not come down without the truss, but my doctor says to wear it forsixmonths longer, and then I will be able to go without the truss altogether. I have only had the Cluthe Truss four months.
I do not know how to express my gratitude to you. Money could not buy my Cluthe Truss from me. My health is so much better and I feel so different than I used to before I purchased your truss. I was always afraid to go ahead and do any work, fearful of the consequences, but now I never think of it, for I feel absolutely safe. I am confident that if I knew about your truss sooner than I did, I would be a well man to-day.
It gives me much pleasure to state the truth about the Cluthe Truss. I found it the best truss I ever tried, for I have tried about the whole category of trusses, and no truss ever did me any real good until I purchased this one, which I have worn for about four months with comfort. I have not had a moment of trouble with my rupture since putting the Cluthe Truss on. I believe myself to be cured. I have worked hard all the time, doing work that I could not have done before I had my Cluthe Truss.
I am almost cured already, although I have worn the truss only three months. My rupture has not been out since I put the truss on. It certainly was a God-send to me when I got your truss, and I cannot recommend it too highly.
I am glad to state that after wearing your truss since last February I feel I am cured to stay cured. As my work requires heavy lifting, I still use the truss while working, but at all other times I never have it on. I have not had to wear it for the last three months. The truss is just as good as the day I bought it.
I purchased my Cluthe Truss last February, wore it five months, and have not had to wear any truss since.From the first day I put it on to this present day, the rupture has never been out or bothered me in any way, and I have done lifting and all kinds of heavy work all this time. So I have reason to feel sure I am cured.
I have been so greatly benefited by your truss that I feel myself practically cured. I suffered sixteen years and tried many different trusses during that time. Physicians advised me to go through an operation. Your truss gave me relief the first day. I cannot speak too highly of if. I cannot recommend it too strongly to anyone afflicted.
My rupture has never come out since I got the truss, and I have often left my truss off all day without any signs of the rupture showing. Before I got the Cluthe Truss I suffered all the time, but yours gave me comfort from the moment I tried it.
I have had your truss less than four months, and have been able to go without it for a week at a time, without the rupture coming down. So I think I am about cured, with many thanks to you.
I take pleasure in aiding all my friends who are ruptured. I am entirely cured, and do not need to wear a truss now. I am 72 years old. One man to whom I recommended the Cluthe Truss says he would not take $150 and be without his truss, if he could not get another. Use my recommendation any time.
Am writing you to let you know what your truss has done for me. My ruptures are both healed up perfectly sound. They do not bother me in the least. I cannot say enough for the Cluthe Truss. You have my permission to use this letter, and I would be glad to make affidavit to it, if you wished.
I go weeks at a time without the truss, but when I am at heavy work I keep it on as a wise precaution. I would not take many times what it cost for it. I am more than satisfied with your treatment of my case.
I wish to say that I consider myself most fortunate in having heard of the Cluthe Truss. It has entirely cured me of my rupture.
I was ruptured for six years and never got anything that did me any good inthattime till I got this truss from you. I tried everything I heard of before I got my Cluthe Truss. I am now about well, but I still wear the truss when doing heavy work. I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good.
I am getting along finely. I have only worn the truss a few weeks and would not expect a cure of my case so soon. I work about fourteen hours a day, and am on my feet all day long. I never have the least trouble with the truss, and would not sell it for any money. It saved me from an operation costing at least $300. I wish you all the success you deserve.
I still wear my Cluthe Truss, though I am cured, as it gives me no uneasiness or discomfort.
It is only in justice to you, and a great pleasure to me that now after wearing your truss for 90 days, to say that I find my rupture back in place and that it does not come down without the truss. However, I have thought it best to wear it for a while longer, believing that my case, a double rupture of 50 years standing, is practically cured. I am 67 years of age, and during that time I have tried over 25 different trusses and treatments for rupture.
I wish to state a few facts concerning your truss. It is the only real device for rupture made in the world. It cured me. I don't know what I would have done if I had not heard of the Cluthe Truss.
The truss I purchased from you about six months ago is a wonder. It has me about cured. You can use my name whenever and wherever you wish, and I will help any person that suffers with rupture anywhere in the city of Chicago or any other city, that writes me to verify this statement.
I had tried several so-called trusses with poor results up to last May, when you fitted me, and I can positively state that from that day my rupture has not been down since. I indulge in athletic sports, in swimming and bathing and wore your truss in the water with no inconvenience whatever. I feel confident that I am now entirely cured of my rupture, and write this hoping that some afflicted brothers may take advantage of your grand invention. You may use the above for recommendation if you wish.
About August, 1909, I began using your truss for rupture. With it life was not such a misery as all my other trusses had made it. Some months thereafter I took the truss off and found I was completely cured. And herewith greetings and heartfelt thanks, for I know your members to be great benefactors to suffering humanity.
Before I bought my Cluthe truss I was examined by two "doctors." One would cure me with the knife for $200 and $25 per week while in hospital, and the other, by injection, for $150, and he would also use some form of Spring truss.
You are at liberty to use these few words any way you wish.
I am perfectly cured by wearing one of your trusses. My rupture was as large as a goose egg, and was out all of the time. I put your truss on and kept it on for one hundred days, and when I took it off the rupture was all healed up and cured. The doctor who was going to operate on me called it a permanent cure.
Please send me an order blank for a friend. It may interest you and others to know that I purchased a truss of you many years ago, which cured me.
Your Truss is all you claim for it. I have had the truss about six months and never had any symptom of trouble since then. I am now cured and will only be too glad for you to refer anyone to me for any reference you want. I tried many other trusses with no relief. Those afflicted should not delay in getting your truss.
I bought one of your trusses about eight months ago and am more than pleased with results. I have worked hard—even at horseshoeing—every day since I put the truss on, but in spite of all that it cured me of my rupture.
I am glad to have the opportunity of letting the public know of the benefit I received from the truss purchased from you. It is all you claim for it, for my left rupture is now cured and the one on the right side almost well. I am past 76 years old but I felt all of ten years younger from the day I commenced using your wonderful truss. I shall be indeed glad to impart to those who suffer as I did, any information I can give regarding the Cluthe Truss.
My rupture is all well and the cure is complete, but I keep the truss on day and night because I am over 81 years old and might take a fit of sneezing. With many thanks for your kindness.
After I had worn your truss three months, I noticed that the rupture did not appear as formerly on retiring at night. An instance—my cat had a fit one night, I jumped out of bed very hurriedly, grabbed the cat, rushed down two flights of stairs and threw the cat out on the porch.
When I returned to my room I thought of the truss, not having thought to put it on before going downstairs—was overjoyed to find that there was no sign of the rupture; this was several months ago and there has been no return of the rupture since. Would be pleased to recommend the Cluthe Truss at any time.
My rupture has never bothered me since I started to wear the Cluthe Truss. I found it to stay in place just as you recommended it, while at hard work such as sawing and chopping wood, digging and carpenter work. I thank you for the great good and the cure it has effected for me.
I was more than satisfied with my Cluthe Truss. It cured me of my rupture and cannot recommend it too highly.
The truss I bought of you less than a year ago has been a wonderful success. I am now entirely cured of my scrotal rupture.
I have worn the Cluthe Truss six weeks and am fast getting well—can't see or find anything of my rupture now—but shall wear truss longer.
The elastic truss that I used to wear got so wet on the body that I had to tighten it up to get it to hold—only to have it fail me later in the day. Mr. Fitzgerald has also been greatly benefited by his truss he got from you.
I am now well and don't see any signs of being ruptured—thanks to the Cluthe Truss.
I felt like a different man the very first week I wore my Cluthe Truss, and it has done me so much good that I can safely leave it off entirely. However, I take no chances, and being so comfortable and easy, I put it on when I have extra heavy lifting to do in the course of my heavy work. I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful Cluthe Truss.
I write to let you know that I cheerfully recommend the Cluthe Truss for rupture. It does all you claim for it. I had been ruptured for many years and tried all kinds of trusses and rupture cures but found no relief until I used yours.
This is simply to inform you that I must every day when I put your truss on thank God for having found something which is not a fraud but a blessing to all ruptured people. The Cluthe Truss enables me to take my place among men, either in running, jumping or other hard work. It is safe and comfortable and I would not be without it, knowing the Cluthe Truss existed.
I will say your truss has helped me very much. Believe I am now cured for sure as the rupture does not come out now when the truss is off. It is the bestthing I ever tried. Will tell everyone suffering from rupture to try this truss. J. C. S.—— of my town sent for one through me. You can use my name.
I think it my duty to notify you that the Cluthe Truss you made for me was indeed a great success. My rupture has disappeared and I am so far cured. I certainly recommend the Cluthe Truss to all in need of relief from rupture.
It gives me great pleasure to write you a few words of commendation in reference to the truss I purchased from you in March, 1910. I, at first, doubted its full value as I thought my rupture was incurable, but subsequent results have proved my error. Ever since my birth I have endured the pains and torture of a rupture until I started to wear your truss, which was nearly eight months ago. I am now entirely cured of my rupture—thanks to the Cluthe Truss. Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your able device and assistance, as you have made me feel like a new man after all these years of misery.
You may use anything I have written, as I like to encourage a good deed.
I am much interested in making known the excellence of the Cluthe Truss, for I have confidence in its curative process. You can refer to me any time you desire, not only as to the worth of your truss but also as to the fair dealing you manifest toward your patients.
I have been ruptured for 30 years and have worn a good many kinds of trusses and I never got one that did not nearly kill me at times. My doctor has been trying for years to have me undergo an operation, and I nearly made up my mind to have an operation when I saw your advertisement in the Chicago Tribune.
I decided to try once more to get a truss, and after thinking about it and putting it off for six months I finally purchased one of your trusses three months ago. If I had only sent for one when I first started I would not need to wear a truss now.
My rupture was a large one and since wearing your truss the rupture has never been out. I can now stand on my feet without the truss on and rupture does not show—the opening seems to be closed.
I feel so grateful for the relief that I cannot help but thank you and any time you wish to have anyone call on me I will gladly recommend you.
The truss purchased of you years ago gave me permanent relief and cure. While I was always skeptical as to a permanent cure of rupture by means of a truss the fact remains that after following your advice and instruction, I have been going about without a truss, doing all kinds of work same as I did prior to becoming ruptured. I cheerfully recommend your truss to one and all afflicted with rupture. Only the patient himself knows from experience how he has to suffer. Publish this letter if you so desire.
I was in awful misery before I ordered a Cluthe Truss and as soon as I put it on I felt like a new man. I can now leave truss off without detecting the least sign or feeling of the rupture. I most highly recommend the Cluthe Truss to any one who is ruptured and wish to give you my best thanks for what it has done for me.
