The simple mechanism shown on the inside of this pad—a device so small it would almost go in a watch case—is what makes the Cluthe Holding or Rupture Pad automatic in its action (self-adjusting, self-regulating).
And at the same time, this little device causes the Holding or Rupture Pad to give the strengthening massage to the weak ruptured parts—all automatically or mechanically, like the running of a watch. But—unlike a watch—this massaging device doesn't need to be wound up—never needs any attention whatever; and also unlike a watch, so strong and simple that it can never get out of order—never fail to work properly.
Forms and Conditions
of Rupture
The illustrations on following pages show various stages of the four common varieties of abdominal Rupture.
Groin Rupture (Inguinal) is the most common form.
Scrotal Rupture (Inguinal) is simply a worse stage of Groin Rupture. The intestines have descended into the scrotum.
Navel Rupture (Umbilical) is that form in which the opening occurs at or near the navel.
Thigh Rupture (Femoral) is that form of rupture which appears at the upper part of the thigh.
