Chapter 6

After suffering 5 years from rupture and trying all the remedies and trusses I could get (all of them failed) finally I ordered a Cluthe Truss, and now I am entirely well. I cannot find words to praise the Cluthe Truss high enough. Thanks to you for the benefits enjoyed from the best thing ever made for rupture.

ELISHA A. HARTMAN, Terre Alta, W.Va. December 19, 1911.

+This Brooklyn, N.Y., Man Cured+

Let ruptured people know that the Cluthe Truss cured me of my rupture, and that I now have no need for a truss of any kind.

GEORGE DIEFENBACHER, 90 Fountain Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y. December 22, 1911.

+Now Well and Strong as She Ever Was+

I want to thank you for your help. Your Cluthe Truss has cured me completely. I am as well and strong as I ever was. You may use this, for I think anyone afflicted as I was would consider it a great blessing to know how to be cured without an operation.

MRS. WALTER De LONG, 814 North Cherry St., Galesburg, Ill. March 28, 1911.

+Practically Cured in a Few Months+

My rupture is cured, thanks to your truss. I could take my truss off now, but I am going to keep it on a little while longer.

D. M. DAUGHERTY, 532 So. Fairview St., Lock Haven, Pa. October 4, 1911.

+No More Need for Trusses Now+

After wearing truss about six months I found I did not need it any more and have used none since. From your grateful friend,

ISAAC H. ELLIOTT, Waterbury, Vt. October 29, 1911.

+This Texas Engineer Gets Instant Relief by Cluthe Truss After Suffering 35 Years+

I would not take one thousand dollars and do without your truss if I could not get another exactly like it. I was ruptured July 6, 1876, and have bought all kinds of trusses and things for rupture-- but could never get one to hold me. My rupture had just about put me down and out, but now I can ride, lift, do any kind of work, get into all positions and the Cluthe Truss keeps me held without the slightest discomfort. Just think of it-- I had suffered since the year 1876 and only since I have had my Cluthe Truss did I get any relief. I am a railroad engineer and train man, a member of the B. of L.F. and E. and I am well-known over much of Texas and Mexico. I cannot make my recommendation too strong.

O. R. ERWIN, Mabank, Tex. September 30, 1911.

+Practically Cured-- Recommended Friend Delighted+

My rupture has not been out since I got my Cluthe Truss. Sometimes I have taken off my truss and walked around but do not see any indication of the rupture coming out. I suffered so much wearing ordinary trusses, which made my rupture larger and larger, that I do not feel like doing without your truss yet. I consider myself cured but my truss feels so good I do not go out without it. Through my recommendation a friend got one of your trusses and he is delighted.

W. W. GARDNER, West Paris, Maine. October 4, 1911.

+Gained 60 Pounds Since Cluthe Truss Cured His Rupture+

The Cluthe Truss positively cured me of a very bad rupture. I have gained 60 pounds since I was cured and am now in the best of health.

W. H. KAMMERER, 3842 N. 6th St., Philadelphia, Penn. January 6, 1912.

+Considers Cluthe Truss More Than a Success in His Case+

I have worn about all kinds of things for rupture that have been made during the last 25 years and have spent lots of money on them, and can truly say I never had a moment's let-up of pain until I wore a Cluthe Truss. After making the readjustment you advised I would not know I was ruptured, the Truss has been so comfortable. Mine is a severe case of rupture, being quite large. Before I got your truss, my rupture would at times keep me in bed for days at a time.

There is only one trouble with people who are ruptured. They are wrongly advised and fly to a druggist and buy a truss like a cigar (I have bought lots of them that way). Then they think all trusses are alike. When I read your advertisement, I had no more faith in you than in any of the rest of them that sell trusses under all sorts of different names. The result of my transaction with you, however, is that I consider that I drew a prize in my Cluthe Truss, and I want to say that you are the first Truss men that ever lived up to their agreement that I ever found.

Your truss has held me from the day I received it, April 20, 1911. I could not walk a quarter of a mile before I got it, and could lift no more than a hod of coal. After I had the truss two weeks I could carry a barrel of flour. I have done my garden digging, mowed a lawn, and even raised a 30 ft. ladder all alone. It would take more than a thousand dollars to-day to buy my Cluthe Truss if I couldn't get another like it-- that is how I value it. Before I tried your truss my body was full of callous places, made so by the other appliances I wore, but they are all gone now, thanks to the Cluthe Truss. I feel better to-day than I ever have in years. I have written you to some length, but I do it with pleasure.

JOHN C. BAILEY, 75 John St., Newport, R.I. January 1, 1912.

+Counts Himself Lucky in Having Heard of Cluthe Truss+

I can assure you I count myself lucky in having answered your advertisement, which I saw in an old paper, for I owe my present cure to you, and I thank you heartily. I will be glad to speak a word of recommend whenever possible, for I know you are doing good work for humanity.

WALTER FRANSEEN, Woodhull, Ill. October 13, 1911.

+Now Safe and Sound and Needs No Truss+

I wish to say that your truss has effected a permanent cure of my rupture. I have lately gone without my Cluthe Truss without the slightest trouble or inconvenience.

LOUIS FRIDAY, 4 Steuben St., Schenectady, N.Y. October 13, 1911.

+Believes He is Cured by Cluthe Truss+

I believe I am cured, but as I am doing heavy work I am not going to take the chance just yet to prove it, until I have lighter work to do.

JAMES W. GRANT, Creede, Colo. September 26, 1911.

+Worst Ruptured Man in Town Completely Cured in 5 Months+

Have been thinking for some time about writing you, how the truss I got of you last April was working. I am happy to inform you that I could throw the truss off altogether without any danger of my rupture coming out. It was said that I was the worst ruptured man in town. It was almost as large as a cocoanut-- I could not get a truss that would hold it up. I could not go anywhere, I was in pain most of the time. The doctor told me I could never get a truss that would hold me. Several times my daughter went to the 'phone to call the doctor to operate on me, but the Cluthe Truss saved my life. I would have paid any money for it. I recommended your truss to my brother-in-law and received a letter from him yesterday in which he says that it is the best investment he ever made. What I write you I can truthfully tell to anyone ruptured. You can use this letter as you see fit.

J. H. GODDARD, 747 E. Main St., Ravenna, Ohio. October 4, 1911.

+Glad to Pass This Cure on to Any One Afflicted+

Before using the Cluthe Truss I had a rupture that was never in place. It troubled me in a great many ways, and it was also very sore at times. I had to put my hand in my pocket and push the rupture back into place repeatedly during the day, and glad to state that the Cluthe Truss cured this troublesome rupture, and I am only too glad to pass your cure on to some person who is afflicted as I was.

WM. HUNTER, 101 Cleveland St., Central Falls, R.I. October 20, 1911.

+This Man Cured by Cluthe Truss After 14 Years of Suffering+

I can never forget the good the Cluthe Truss has done for me. After 14 years of suffering I tried the Cluthe Truss, which entirely cured me. It is now three years since I have worn any truss at all. It took your truss only one year to cure me and make a new man of me, after everything else I tried had failed.

DANIEL R. WRIGHT, Little Neck, L.I., New York. January 1, 1912.

+Another of the Thousands of New Yorkers Cured by Cluthe Truss+

I have not worn my Cluthe Truss since last June, and have been doing hard work and heavy lifting without even feeling the strain of work. In fact I feel just as if I had never been ruptured or worn a truss in my life.

LOUIS BERNET, 443 St. Ann's Ave., (Bronx), New York City. December 28, 1911.

+Cluthe Truss the Only Relief After Suffering and Searching 35 Years+

I had been ruptured all my life and am now 35 years old and never could get anything that would give me relief from my rupture sufferings until I got a Cluthe Truss. To-day I could go without my truss, because it has cured my rupture.

W. R. BUCK, Upper Marlboro, Md. October 4, 1911.

+Cured by Cluthe Truss-- His Rupture No Longer Appears+

I will gladly do anything in my power to help another sufferer, that is why I can say to all that the Cluthe Truss is the easiest truss to wear I ever had, and I have tried many. My rupture has not appeared for the last two months, so the prospects are that I am cured.

ADAM BREHM, 609 No. Garfield Ave., Burlington, Iowa. September 29, 1911.

+Has Not Worn a Truss for 2 Years and is as Sound as He Ever Was+

The Cluthe Truss is the best thing for rupture that I ever heard of. It cured me of my rupture completely. I have not worn a truss of any kind for 2 years, and am as sound to-day as I ever was, all through the use of your truss.

JAMES H. RODENBOUGH, 162 Bayway St. Elizabeth, New Jersey. December 26, 1911.

+The Cluthe Truss Entirely Cured Him+

I wish to state that your truss has entirely cured my rupture. You may refer any person to me at my address.

H. CRANE, 26 Mynderse St., Schenectady, N.Y. October 19, 1911.

+Has Not Needed or Worn Any Truss for Months+

I have not had my Cluthe Truss on for the last 4 months, and my rupture has not shown or bothered me in the least. Your Truss has certainly cured my rupture. I had three other kinds of trusses before I got yours and could not wear any of them, because they hurt me so.

ERVIN S. COLE, R.F.D. No. 3, Norwich, N.Y. October 13, 1911.

+Says Law Should Be Passed to Stop Sale of Drug Store Trusses+

Your truss has cured me. At least my rupture never comes out when I have the truss off for 2 or 3 hours at a time. I think your truss is the only perfect device for rupture made. There ought to be a law passed prohibiting drug stores from selling those so-called trusses that don't hold or give a man a minute's peace.

J. C. HOUSEMAN, 813 No. 18th St., East St. Louis, Ill. October 26, 1911.

+This Retired Railroad Man Cured by Cluthe Truss+

Use my name in the hope that it may benefit some one afflicted as I was, but now restored.

H. B. HAMMON, Bristolville, Ohio. October 26, 1911.

+Believes He is Cured After a Few Months Wear+

I have not missed wearing my Cluthe Truss a day since I got it. I believe I am cured, but as I had so much trouble before I got your truss, I thought I would wear it a little longer, as it does not bother me in any way.

A. S. HOLLOMON, Trimble, Tenn. October 9, 1911.

+Says Results Have Proved Good Judgment of His Faith in the Cluthe Proposition+

I could not exaggerate the facts in connection with the great good secured to me from the use of the Cluthe Truss. I have had more pleasure in life since using your Truss than during all the 50 or more years before.

The very minute I read your proposition I knew you were on the square and onto your job and I made no mistake in my judgment.

CHAS. W. SHIVELL, c/o West Hotel, Minneapolis, Minn. November 18, 1911.

+Wonderfully Benefited+

I have been wonderfully benefited, perhaps cured, by using the Cluthe Truss, and would suggest to every sufferer from rupture to throw away all other trusses and secure a Cluthe, as they cannot possibly make a mistake in its use. My truss is as good now as the day I received it from you.

J. C. HERSHBERGER, West Church St., Williamsport, Md. October 4, 1911.

+Feels No Trouble Whatever from Either Rupture+

I still wear the double truss I purchased last March. I think I am cured, as I feel no trouble whatever from either rupture, but the truss is so comfortable I have continued to wear it.

C. A. HAZEN, Woodsville, N.H. September 30, 1911.

+This Newark, N.J., Man Cured of Worst Kind of Scrotal Rupture by the Cluthe Truss+

Your great truss cured me of a scrotal rupture of the worst form, after years of suffering, having tried at least 20 other makes of trusses, etc., which did me no good except caused me more suffering. I wish you continued success in aiding suffering mankind.

F. A. ZIPF, 47 Tichenor St., Newark, New Jersey. December 29, 1911.

+Cluthe Truss Freed Him From Pain at Once-- Now Cured+

I feel I am cured of my rupture but continue to wear the truss for protection. I never had any benefit whatever from any other appliances I ever tried. In regard to the Cluthe Truss, I feel as though I was in Heaven (as it were), as it freed me from pain at once.

JOHN B. TIGER, 829 E. Jersey St., Elizabeth, New Jersey. December 23, 1911.

+The Cluthe Truss the Only Help He Found for His Rupture+

I will gladly tell anyone suffering from rupture that I am more than pleased with my Cluthe Truss. Of all the things I have tried for my rupture, the Cluthe Truss is the only thing that ever helped me. I believe it will cure me entirely. I have not felt the slightest pain since I put the truss on.

W. F. BOSTEN, 1113 Oregon St., South Muscatine, Iowa. September 22, 1911.

+Found Cluthe Truss a God-send+

I have worn your best grade truss since last March. It has given me perfect satisfaction as well as to my friend, Mr. R. M., a man 82 years old, to whom I recommended your truss. Before I tried yours I wore one ordered by my physician. It caused me great suffering, and I was unable to do any lifting or stooping whatever. The doctor then informed me no truss could help me. I then happened to hear of the Cluthe Truss, which I ordered and has been a God-send to me. I am able to work every day. You can use this letter in any manner you see fit.

FRED A. HALBERT, 716 Logan St., La Crosse, Wis. September 26, 1911.

+But for Cluthe Truss, Probably Would Not Have Lived to Write This+

To be honest with you, I don't believe I would be here to write this if it had not been for the Cluthe Truss. Can truthfully say I have been wonderfully benefited, and feel as though my rupture is cured. I strongly advise all ruptured people to try the Cluthe Truss and be convinced.

E. E. JOHNSON, R.F.D. No. 2, Haviland, Kansas. October 3, 1911.

+Prominent Saratoga, N.Y., Man Cured of Long-Standing Rupture in One Year+

My case was a severe scrotal one, with ruptures on both the right and left sides. It had been in peril of my life for a number of years, receiving no relief from different trusses which I tried. Fortunately I learned of yours, and now after only a year's use, I am completely cured.

B. F. JUDSON, (Veteran of Civil War. Ex-postmaster of Saratoga Springs for 18 years. Publisher and proprietor of Daily "Saratogan" for 25 years.) Saratoga Springs, N.Y. October 6, 1911.

+Was a Godsend to Him+

The Cluthe Truss I purchased of you was a godsend to me. I found that it did all that you led me to believe it would do.

HERMAN LOHLEY, 4111 Humboldt Ave., Chicago, Ill. September 29, 1911.

+Cured in Eight Months+

I can truthfully say I am a well man. You may, with the greatest of pleasure, use my testimony it if will help anyone who is afflicted with rupture, and I will do all in my power to induce others that I know and suffer as I did before I was wise enough to try the Cluthe Truss. May God crown you in all your efforts, and give you great success.

F. DUDLEY KNAPP, Housatonic, Mass. November 3, 1911.

+Cured His Rupture and also His Friends+

In justice to you I will state that I am permanently cured, by use of your truss, and have not been very quiet in recommending your treatment to others similarly afflicted. A neighbor sent for your truss at my solicitation, and he tells me that he, too, is completely cured. We fully appreciate the great good you are doing.

A. W. KEDDIE, Quincy, Cal. October 4, 1911.

+Nine Months of Cluthe Truss Comfort Cures This Man+

I must thank you for all the good your truss has done me. Since wearing your truss, I have felt like a different man. I have worn it only nine months, and can truthfully say that I am completely cured of my rupture.

FREDERICK L. KLINGLER, Rexburg, Idaho. October 13, 1911.

+This Missouri Doctor Cured+

I believe my rupture is cured, although I have worn the Cluthe Truss only about three or four months. I have not lost a day out of the saddle since I received the truss. Before, I could only walk my horse with other trusses I wore, but with my Cluthe I could ride just as well as I could before I was ruptured. Yours is so perfectly easy one does not know one has it on. I will be seventy-three years old next month. I cannot speak too highly of your truss. I don't see how it could be improved upon. From my own personal experience, I would say that anyone ruptured who follows your simple directions, is on a quick road to complete recovery the moment he wears a Cluthe Truss.

DR. D. J. McCONNAHA, New Bloomfield, Mo. November 10, 1911.

+This Oregon Man Cured+

I am almost sure I am cured. Your truss is so easy that I feel lonesome lost unless I have it on. Consequently, I wear it most of the time. I tried five different kinds before I was fortunate enough to hear of the Cluthe Truss. I am doing a little missionary work for you all the time in appreciation of the great good your truss did for me.

C. E. MAXSON, Harrisburg, Ore. October 10, 1911.

+Thinks Cluthe Cure a Great Thing+

I think I am permanently cured. I cannot recommend your truss too strongly to anyone I know who has a rupture. Some of my neighbors have already sent to you for advice and treatment, and others will do so soon. I consider the Cluthe cure a great thing.

S. L. LEE, Quincy, Cal. November 21, 1911.

+Quick Cure by Cluthe Truss+

I have had my Cluthe Truss only two months, and believe I am cured right up. I can honestly say that your truss has done for me what no other truss ever did, that is hold the rupture up, and to think that it even cured me. Of course I shall continue to wear the truss some time, although no rupture shows when I leave the truss off. I believe your truss is sure to cure most people with rupture, if they would only buy it.

JAMES T. McDONALD, 45 St. Patrick St., Goderich, Ontario, Can. November 16, 1911.

+Has Not Had to Wear Any Truss for Years+

I am sure my rupture, which was cured by a Cluthe Truss, will never come out again, now after so long. I have been without pain for years. I have gladly recommended the Cluthe Truss at all times, for I know what wonders your truss did in my case.

JOHN M. McDONALD, 30 Union St., Dominion No. 1, N.S., Can. October 19, 1911.

+Tried All Kinds, but Only the Cluthe Cured+

I purchased your truss about eighteen months ago. It cured my rupture. Previously I had tried all kinds of trusses, but it remained for the Cluthe Truss to cure me. It is the only one worthy of the name.

JOHN McNAMARA, 861 West Main St., Greenfield, Ind. October 18, 1911.

+This British Columbian Man Cured+

I can go about without my truss, but I wear it at my work, as I feel safer with it on. I find it most comfortable.

THOMAS MILBURN, Victoria, B.C., Can. October 17, 1911.

+Cured for Good+

I cannot speak too highly of the Cluthe Truss. It has stood by me constantly while before I got your truss I could get nothing that would give me any relief. Yours has done the work, for I believe that the rupture is entirely healed.

FRANK MIXER, R.F.D. No. 1, Box 12, Whittier, Cal. October 13, 1911.

+Practically Cured in Five Months+

Your truss has done me more good in five months than all the others I wore before I got the Cluthe Truss. I put it on the 20th of May, and from that time to this the rupture never showed. I now know that my rupture is completely cured, because I have not worn the truss for weeks, and feel no weakness on account of not wearing it. Let any ruptured man know what I write here, hoping the Giver of Goodwill will always smile on me.

J. L. MOSS, Atwood, Ala. October 13, 1911.

+Cluthe Truss Hangs in Closet While He Does His Work, Cured+

I can truthfully say I am cured by the use of your truss. I believe it is the best truss ever invented by man. It did for me just what you said it would. My truss is now hanging up in a closet in my house, and I don't have to use it at all. Anyone can write to me if they don't believe what you say. So give this to the suffering people of this land, for why should it not do for thousands of others what it has done for me?

J. W. MITCHELL, Olympus, Texas. October 13, 1911.

+Ruptured Ten Years; Cured by Cluthe Truss+

I had suffered for ten years, and will admit that when I purchased your truss I did not expect it to cure me, for the reason that I had been disappointed by so many different makes or makers. I shall gladly recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone that I shall come in contact with, who is suffering with a rupture.

E. SCOTT MORGAN, 5619 Georgia Ave., Washington, D.C. October 6, 1911.

+Doctor Says in Six Months Will Be Entirely Cured+

My ruptures are so now that they do not come down without the truss, but my doctor says to wear it for six months longer, and then I will be able to go without the truss altogether. I have only had the Cluthe Truss four months.

MRS. J. G. MILLER, 1104 7th Ave., Seattle, Wash. September 27, 1911.

+Cluthe Truss Makes Him a Different Man+

I do not know how to express my gratitude to you. Money could not buy my Cluthe Truss from me. My health is so much better and I feel so different than I used to before I purchased your truss. I was always afraid to go ahead and do any work, fearful of the consequences, but now I never think of it, for I feel absolutely safe. I am confident that if I knew about your truss sooner than I did, I would be a well man to-day.

CHARLES McDONALD, Sheridan, Ore. October 2, 1911.

+Tried the Whole Category of Trusses, and Finds Only Cluthe Makes Good+

It gives me much pleasure to state the truth about the Cluthe Truss. I found it the best truss I ever tried, for I have tried about the whole category of trusses, and no truss ever did me any real good until I purchased this one, which I have worn for about four months with comfort. I have not had a moment of trouble with my rupture since putting the Cluthe Truss on. I believe myself to be cured. I have worked hard all the time, doing work that I could not have done before I had my Cluthe Truss.

HUDSON MILLS, Hooser, Kan. October 3, 1911.

+Almost Cured in Three Months+

I am almost cured already, although I have worn the truss only three months. My rupture has not been out since I put the truss on. It certainly was a God-send to me when I got your truss, and I cannot recommend it too highly.

A. L. MYERS, Ilwaco, Wash. September 25, 1911.

+Took Six Months to Cure This Rupture+

I am glad to state that after wearing your truss since last February I feel I am cured to stay cured. As my work requires heavy lifting, I still use the truss while working, but at all other times I never have it on. I have not had to wear it for the last three months. The truss is just as good as the day I bought it.

O. NORBECK, 1079 17th Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. October 25, 1911.

+Cured in Five Months+

I purchased my Cluthe Truss last February, wore it five months, and have not had to wear any truss since. From the first day I put it on to this present day, the rupture has never been out or bothered me in any way, and I have done lifting and all kinds of heavy work all this time. So I have reason to feel sure I am cured.

CHARLES T. NASS, Robinsons Corner, N.S., Can. September 30, 1911.

+Cluthe Truss Does What Physician Advises Only Surgical Operation Could Do+
