Figures 7, 8, and 9 show advanced stages of Scrotal or Groin Rupture
(getting worse all the time because not properly protected, because not
kept from coming out) after it has descended into privates. (The
different stages are the same in Females as in Males.)

Figure 10 shows Thigh or Femoral Rupture, which comes out on the upper
part of thigh, just below the crease or depression between abdomen and
thigh. Femoral Rupture never appears higher up-- never appears in groin,
and never descends into privates.

Figures 11 and 12 show two stages of Navel Rupture. (For Cluthe Navel
Truss, see page 64.)

We make the Cluthe Truss with special Holding Pads that meet the
requirements of every one of the foregoing conditions of Rupture, save
Incarcerated and Strangulated. With the exception of these two forms we
guarantee that the perfect truss with Automatic Massage Treatment will
constantly hold any rupture in place.

Navel or Umbilical Rupture (which appears at or near the navel) demands
immediate treatment.

[Sidenote: Navel (Umbilical) Rupture]

Neglect or Mal-Treatment is liable speedily to treble the size of the
rupture.

We make a special Cluthe Navel Truss which has never in any case failed
to improve the condition from the moment it was applied.

Our Navel Truss does not bind the abdomen-- allows perfect freedom-- is
light, clean and comfortable even in the hottest weather.

It is the only successful holder for Navel Rupture-- the only one that
supports the overhanging weight in front without the use of torturing
elastic fabrics.

Cases of Navel Rupture demand special care, for hardly any two are
alike. So we cannot prescribe for Navel Rupture until we know your
condition.

Simply write us stating whether the rupture can be fully reduced. If it
can't, give size of part that cannot be reduced.

If none of the forms of Navel Rupture shown on the order blank seems
to be about the size of your rupture, and in the same location, please
mark on the picture as nearly as you can the size and location of your
rupture.

On receipt of such report, we shall advise you as to the appliance
needed, and its price.

[Sidenote: After Operations]

For recurrence of Rupture after an operation, we make the Cluthe Truss
with special frames and pads. For the requirements in
