Cluthe's Advice to the Ruptured

by Cluthe Rupture Institute

Now there is only one way to overcome that weakened condition; only one way to get rid of rupture without undergoing the dangers of operation.

As a first essential, proper artificial support must be applied at the point of rupture.

Comfortable mechanical support that can be depended upon to hold the bowels always in place.

Just as a broken bone must be held in place, while healing, by a bandage or plaster cast.

Dr. Birkett, of the famous Guy Hospital of London, and one of the world's most eminent medical and surgical authorities, says this:

What Dr. Birkett Says

"The expediency of judiciously pursuing the mechanical treatment of every variety of hernia (rupture) cannot be too strongly urged upon the laity by the profession. In both sexes it should be carefully conducted the moment that the slightest protrusion shows itself; whether the hernia occurs in infancy, youth, middle age or at later periods of life, if properly watched and judiciously supported, it usually gives but little trouble; in many cases it is even cured. But on the contrary, if it be neglected, increase in bulk and, sooner or later, diseased states of the rupture, often leading to the death of the individual, will almost infallibly occur."

And there is only one thing in the world that can give the mechanical support which Dr. Birkett and other famous physicians say is essential.

That is the right kind of truss.

Any system of treatment (except operation) which claims to relieve or cure rupture without the use of a truss is simply a fraud.
