But we have decided never to give up the word truss; in spite of the
fact that its use makes it harder to get people to believe our
advertisements.
We don't want to fly under false colors.
We don't want to do any of the things done by those who have _worthless_
trusses to sell; those who have cheap contraptions which they call
"appliances," "methods," etc., in order to deceive ruptured people.
If we were willing to call the Cluthe Truss by some other name, we would
probably disarm much of the suspicion many people have against the word
truss.
But we don't want to adopt any subterfuges. And there are now so many
people wearing Cluthe Automatic Massaging Trusses, or who have worn them
until cured, that simply by one man recommending the Cluthe Truss to
another the prejudice against the word truss is bound to be overcome in
time.
_+Rupture Always Brought On By Weakness+_
The word _Rupture_ is _wrong_; a relic of the days when no one
understood the real nature of this affliction.
In its true definition, the word means a _break_ or _tear_. And that is
how this ailment got the name _Rupture_-- people used to think the
muscles had broken or torn in two.
But we have examined hundreds of ruptures under the searching X-rays.
And we long ago found that rupture is _not_ a break or tear; something
all physicians and surgeons now concede.
