How to Order
First decide which Grade of the Cluthe Truss you want to try. (See pages 68 and 69.)
And please don't forget to enclose the necessary amount with your order. (This amount, as explained elsewhere, will simply be placed to your credit and held as a deposit in your name while you are testing the truss on 60 days' trial.)
The best way to send the amount is to get a draft at your bank, or get a Post Office Money Order or Express Money Order. If currency is sent, be sure to register your letter.
In ordering, please use the Information or Order blank which we enclose with this book. Be sure to sign your name plainly, and give your full address.
Be careful to write out plainly as you can a full and complete answer to each of the simple questions we ask on the Order blank—remember that your answers guide us in determining the requirements of your case, the size and shape of Holding Pad or Pads, the amount of support you need, and the point at which to "set" or adjust the truss so it will automatically give the right amount of support or holding power.
If there is any further information you want to give us, write it in the space under "Remarks" on the Order blank, or on a separate piece of paper.
If you happen to mislay the order blank, just use a separate sheet of paper for writing out your answers to the questions given below. (Instead of taking the trouble to write out both questions and answers, merely give the answers alone, and number the answers 1, 2, 3, etc., to agree with the corresponding question.)
These Questions are the Same as on Order Blank
1. Which of the figures shown on pages 62 and 63 most resembles your Rupture, when fully out—On your right side? On your left side? 2. Give measurement around naked body in direct line over place where rupture first comes out. 3. Male or female? 4. Age? 5. Height? 6. Weight? 7. Occupation, and does your work require heavy lifting? 8. Where is your rupture located? (State whether right, left, or both sides, or at navel.) 9. If on both sides, which is worse and which harder to hold? 10. When rupture is out how does it compare in size to pigeon's, hen's, or goose egg? (If two ruptures, give size of each.) 11. Has your difficulty been to get a Truss to hold? 12. If male, does your rupture descend INTO the scrotum? 13. If unsuccessfully operated on for rupture—or if rupture is result of an operation—mark on a rough sketch or on a trace of the figure most resembling your rupture the comparative location of incision. 14. How many years ruptured?
