build, we have a dummy model
corresponding to your living self in shape-- a form your clothes would
fit just as they fit on you.

When we see the measurements you give when ordering (they are all
provided for in a simple way on our Information or Question blank) we
know at once which one of our many models or forms to use.

And on this form-- duplicating your size and build-- we fit your truss,
as soon as it is made, just as if you yourself were right here in front
of us.

We can usually make up your truss, fit it, and have it ready to send
within twenty-four to thirty-six hours after receiving your order.

Every day we fit in this way scores of people we have never seen.

And it's only in about one case out of several hundred that we fail to
give perfect fit. While in such cases, usually only some slight
adjustment is needed to make the fit perfect-- some simple adjustment
which the patient himself can easily make. Our common-sense instructions
fully provide for proper adjustment if any is necessary.

Our ability to meet the exact requirements of your case-- our expert
skill and care in fitting-- are things no one else can give you-- for no
one else has had our forty years of professional experience-- no one
else has learned _how_, as we have.

The method we follow (which is exclusively our own), is the only method
of fitting that can result in continuous and comfortable holding.

And continuous and comfortable holding, combined with the soothing,
strengthening and healing massage treatment which the Cluthe Truss
automatically gives, is the only thing (save an operation-- which can't
always do it)-- that can effect a permanent cure.

The above illustration represents the side view of the lower abdomen of
a person of medium size. C, A and E is the natural line of the abdomen.
D, B and F is the line when the abdomen is inflated by coughing,
sneezing, or any exertion or strain. The black disc is the pad. When the
wearer coughs or strains, pad end A is forced to position B, while the
lower or retaining end of pad E is instantly forced inward to position
F, thereby completely checking the descent of the rupture and
effectively locking it in. Thus rupture is at all times retained with
the least possible pressure of pad under normal conditions, yet the
extra pressure needed is instantly and automatically given when any
