The black disc is the pad. When the
wearer coughs or strains, pad end A is forced to position B, while the
lower or retaining end of pad E is instantly forced inward to position
F, thereby completely checking the descent of the rupture and
effectively locking it in. Thus rupture is at all times retained with
the least possible pressure of pad under normal conditions, yet the
extra pressure needed is instantly and automatically given when any
exertion or strain demands it.
This automatic action of the Holding Pad also _massages_ the ruptured
parts. This massage has a soothing, healing effect-- like gently rubbing
your forehead when you have a headache-- or like rubbing a bruised
spot-- and, gradually overcomes the weakness which _causes_ rupture--
gradually _strengthens_ the weak ruptured parts, just as exercise
strengthens the muscles of the arms.
_+Able to Work While Being Cured+_
For men with a living to make, work to do, business to attend to,
families to provide for, the Cluthe Truss is nothing less than a
godsend.
And it means just as much to men who want to take part in athletic
games, men who want active outdoor exercise.
Some, in their letters to us, have called it a _life-saver_.
For the Cluthe Truss rids work and exercise of every one of their
dangers; rids them of every one of their injurious effects on rupture.
