Counting all the thousands of people who have placed themselves in our
care, our records show that the cases in which a trial of the Cluthe
Truss failed to prove beneficial have averaged only one out of each two
hundred.

A really remarkable record. For among the people who have tried the
Cluthe Truss, among those cured by it, are hundreds who had been
ruptured over 50 years. Note letters in back of book and the 5,000 names
you'll find in "Your Neighbor's Word."

The law of averages always holds good; it is one of the most certain
things in the world.

And when 199 out of every 200 who have tried this truss were benefited,
and many of them cured, you can see that there are mighty few people who
can't expect a Cluthe Truss to do them a lot of good.

Bear in mind that we aren't claiming that every one who has tried a
Cluthe Truss has been completely cured by it. We would rather err by
claiming too little than claim too much. Even a common cold, about the
simplest of all human ailments, can't always be cured, can't always be
so much as relieved or checked; that is why a cold, in spite of
everything that can be done, so often develops into pneumonia, bronchial
trouble, etc.

But we do stand back of the Cluthe Truss with an absolute guarantee that
it will keep the rupture from coming out, enable you to work without
danger, and result in improvement. Surely no man can expect a stronger
guarantee, especially after what many have gone through with other
trusses.

Note that our guarantee is in plain, straightforward language-- you know
exactly what it means-- no evasions, no subterfuges-- an iron-clad and
absolutely legal guarantee.

[Sidenote: Our Guarantee Protects You Absolutely]

It is nothing like the tricky, hoodwinking guarantees which so many
other concerns give. Beware of a so-called guarantee which merely reads
"This truss fully guaranteed." A guarantee-- as any lawyer will tell
you-- isn't worth the paper it's printed on unless it guarantees
something specific, such as holding. And it gives you no protection
unless it guarantees your money back in case of failure.

But our Guarantee is a positive Money-Back Guarantee.

If the Cluthe _Truss_ fails to "make good," then _we_ will "make good"
by refunding your money.

You don't need to worry about that for a minute. No one dependent on the
good will of the public could remain in business as long as we have, now
over 40 years, and constantly gain new f
