It is for these reasons—their ignorance of rupture—that we have never sold the Cluthe Truss through druggists.
Trusses are simply a side-line in the average drug-store. Just as cigars are, or "soft drinks."
A druggist knows all about drugs.
He has made them his special study.
But he doesn't know much about rupture—doesn't pretend to—and can't be expected to. Because he hasn't made a study of it.
It took us, here at the Cluthe Rupture Institute, over forty years to learn all that we now know about Rupture.
Forty years of day-after-day concentration on the study and treatment of Rupture.
And during those forty years, we have learned things about Rupture which no one else has ever learned—we have gained knowledge which is exclusively our own.
And it took many years of scientific study and experiment to perfect the Cluthe Truss, and to design the hundreds of different kinds, sizes, and shapes of Holding Pads which adapt this truss to every form and condition of Rupture known to-day.
We have told you this, Reader, to show that placing yourself in our care is vastly different from going to a drug-store, or to a mere dealer in trusses or manufacturer of them.
