While doing some research on a hernia cure, I came across an old book written by Chas Cluthe & Sons called Cluthe’s Advice To The Ruptured. It was written back in the early 1900’s. I noticed right away when I started reading the book, that it is definitely a sales pitch for a hernia truss that they developed back in the the late 1800’s. Kind of like today’s form of “Free E-Book” that you can get from tons of websites out there that are trying to sell you something. But, these guys actually had a place called the Cluthe Rupture Institute where they claim to have cured thousands of people from inguinal hernias. They also show hundreds of testimonials from people that claimed to have been cured of their hernia by use of the truss they developed and patented.

Hernia Cure Truss

The Cluthe Hernia Truss

Most of the testimonials have an actual name and address of the person who wrote them.

 

I started wondering if they could fake all of these hernia cure testimonials just to get people to buy their product. Of course they could. But if you were going to fake hernia cure testimonials, why would you put the person’s full name and address along with the testimonial? Prospective customers could have easily written letters to these people to get more information, and if they were fake, they would be found out in no time. They wouldn’t be in business very long pulling a scam like that.

So, I decided to start googling some of the addresses that were listed in the book under the hernia cure testimonials. Most of them that I looked up were definitely in old towns and houses that looked like they could be in a historic district or something.

Screenshot from one of the Googled addresses

Others were in places that looked they were knocked down and the land use changed to more industrial. This definitely in no way proves that the testimonials are real, but surely shows that they weren’t just making up addresses out of nowhere and putting them in the hernia cure testimonials.

I know a lot of people who come across this blog are desperately searching for proof that there actually is a natural hernia cure. At the point where I am right now, I actually think it is essential to believe 100% that there is a natural hernia cure to be able to create the mindset that it will take to actually see it through. At this point in my journey I am already 100% convinced that I can cure this hernia naturally because of the rapid improvement in mine over the last few weeks. I am at a point now where the hernia is much less than half the size that it was at it’s worst, and barely ever poking out. When it does poke out I can suck my stomach in and tighten it up, and the hernia will reduce back into the hole. A few weeks ago I could not do this at all. I truly believe that a shift in mindset has a lot to with it.

If you would like to read the book, you can do so by clicking here. I have pasted the testimonials portion below. If it helps you get closer to following your gut about a natural hernia cure great, if not at least it will be a source of some more info that you have been searching for.  I cannot say wether the testimonials are legit or not. You be the judge.

What do you think? Could this be a hernia cure that was lost in time? Leave me a comment below!

Prominent Arkansas Physician Cured of Rupture of 49 Years Standing in 8 Months by Cluthe Truss

With pleasure I beg to submit the following facts in my own case at which I was greatly surprised. I am 53 years old, and was badly ruptured when 4 years old, on both right and left sides. The right side rupture failed to be held by any and all kinds of trusses until I put on a Cluthe Truss. I can now remove the truss and feel no symptoms of Hernia. Now, how is this for a cure in eight months? I take pleasure, as a physician and surgeon, in recommending the Cluthe Truss to any and all sufferers from Hernia. I have fitted Cluthe Trusses on four other patients, three of whom are already well and the fourth greatly improved. You have my permission to use this testimonial as you please, and I hope it may be the means of others, suffering from rupture, resorting at once to a Cluthe Truss.

From a Prominent New York Plumber

After trying a drug store truss and a strap without getting either to hold my rupture, which was getting larger all the time, I tried a Cluthe Truss, which has worked wonders in my case. In my work as a plumber I have to get into every conceivable position, often tie up in a knot, as it were, but my Cluthe Truss never failed; never shifted a fraction of an inch. I often go without my truss without the slightest sign of rupture or feeling of weakness. After what I suffered and considering the size of my rupture before I was lucky enough to hear of you, you can realize how strongly I can recommend anyone ruptured to send for a Cluthe Truss and save the money he would waste in buying any of the makeshifts.

This Man, 72 Years Old, Cured in a Few Months by Cluthe Truss While at Work

When I was first ruptured I bought a truss and tried to wear it. This was fitted by a local dealer time and time again—but I could not wear it. I then tried another local dealer with the same result. I was then induced to try another truss but could not get any relief. Then, I noticed your advertisement. It seemed impossible to me then that you could do by measurement, which I was to send you, what the local dealers could not do when I was personally present. However, I did send for your truss, expecting only to get a truss that I could wear with comfort. I wore it some months—after a while I would forget to put it on, and would go for a day or two without it. Each time I would go longer without it—then some weeks I discarded it entirely. I consider that I am entirely cured of my rupture. I cannot express to you how grateful I am to you and without solicitation on your part I am writing you this letter to show you my appreciation of your efforts. I am now 72 years of age, a mason by occupation and am working every day.

This Man from Missouri Quickly Found Hernia Cure by Cluthe Truss

I gladly testify to convince people suffering from rupture that the Cluthe Truss was a sure cure in my case. Experience has convinced me that if anyone ruptured will apply a Cluthe Truss according to the directions it means positive relief, and the only hope for a cure. I cannot recommend the Cluthe Truss too highly.

Ruptured for Years—Tried Cluthe Truss—Cured in Two Months

I had worn several kinds of trusses, which did me no good, but, on the contrary, made me worse all the time. I saw your truss advertised and sent for one to try. I felt better at once. I had suffered for years before, and wore the Cluthe Truss a little over two months; then I did not need a truss any more. Now, I feel all right, and if anyone wants to know what the Cluthe Truss can do for rupture refer them to me, and I will truthfully tell them what it has done for me.

This Man 70 Years Old Cured by Cluthe Truss

I am glad to add my testimony as one who has been cured by the Cluthe Truss. I did not get one with the expectation of being cured, as my rupture was very bad, and I was 70 years of age. I would advise any person, be they young or old, who are afflicted with rupture, not to delay trying a Cluthe Truss and no other, for I have tried many of the others and found them of no good.

This New York City Man has had No Need for Trusses for 2 Years

My troublesome rupture was perfectly held in place from the day I wore my Cluthe Truss until I found it unnecessary to longer wear the truss, and I have not had a truss on for nearly two years. I consider the Cluthe Truss the best in the world and I am glad to testify as per the above.

Rupture Now Cured and has No More Need of a Truss

I have no more need of a truss of any kind, for I am entirely cured of my rupture, and the Cluthe Truss did it. You can use this if it will help anyone else afflicted the same as I was. I haven’t worn my truss for some time.

This Arkansas Man Cured by Cluthe Truss After Suffering 20 Years

I cheerfully recommend the Cluthe Truss to anyone suffering from rupture. It is the only one I have ever seen, had or heard of that does the work thoroughly. I am practically cured of my rupture through using the Cluthe Truss, after having suffered for 20 years. It is because it is the only truss that will absolutely prevent the rupture from coming down.

Cluthe Truss Saves These Two from Surgeon’s Knife

My wife was saved from the knife after a wild midnight ride to the House of Mercy in an ambulance. We can never say too much for the Cluthe Truss. My wife was ruptured for 11 years and suffered great pains at times. We are both nearly cured. She has worn her Cluthe Truss since June of this year and I have worn mine since last Christmas. Many thanks to the Messrs. Cluthe for their wonderful truss.

A Man 79 Years Old Practically Cured in 3 Months

I have worn your truss about three months and it is worth its weight in gold. I believe I am cured. I forgot to put the truss on different occasions and did not notice my rupture or feel the slightest weakness. I am working every day. The other trusses I wore only made me worse. I shall still wear my Cluthe Truss—I would not take any chances just now. I shall be pleased to recommend it to everyone ruptured.

Soon Cured and Never Used Truss Since

I verily believe that your truss is the best of all the trusses made, for after less than a year’s use of the Cluthe Truss I laid it away and never had to use any truss since. Hoping that all who have suffered as I have in the past from rupture may find relief from this terrible affliction.

New Lease of Life for This Man

I found the Cluthe Truss as different from all other trusses as a scientific balance is to a vise. I am 70 years old and have always been unable to take long walks, but the first Sunday I had your truss I walked a mile to my house and felt so good that I walked three miles more. Prior to getting your truss I could not walk half a dozen city blocks without great distress. I wish you great success towards suffering mankind.

Had Probably the Largest Display of Trusses before He Tried the Cluthe, Which Alone Holds

Some months ago I was induced to make just one more venture in buying trusses. I admit that I had but mighty little faith, in fact I was well nigh discouraged. I had probably the finest and largest display of trusses of any man in the country, but none of them would hold my right side rupture. How thankful I am I tried just once more, and bought the Cluthe Truss! It holds splendidly and is so easy to wear that it gives me no trouble whatever.

Tried All Remedies; Only the Cluthe Could Cure Him

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.

Now Well and Strong as She Ever Was

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.

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.

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.

Counts Himself Lucky in Having Heard of Cluthe Truss

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.

Glad to Pass This Hernia 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.

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.

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.

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.

New Bloomfield, Mo.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

R.F.D. No. 1, Box 12, Whittier, Cal.
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.

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?

Olympus, Texas.
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.

5619 Georgia Ave., Washington, D.C.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Cluthe Truss Does What Physician Advises Only Surgical Operation Could Do

I have been so greatly benefited by your truss that I feel myself practically cured. I suffered sixteen years and tried many different trusses during that time. Physicians advised me to go through an operation. Your truss gave me relief the first day. I cannot speak too highly of if. I cannot recommend it too strongly to anyone afflicted.

R.F.D. No. 1, Saco, Maine.
Never Saw Rupture Since Wearing Cluthe Truss

My rupture has never come out since I got the truss, and I have often left my truss off all day without any signs of the rupture showing. Before I got the Cluthe Truss I suffered all the time, but yours gave me comfort from the moment I tried it.

October 4, 1911. JAMES NAYLOR,
E. Arrow Park, B.C., Can.
Cured in Less than 4 Months

I have had your truss less than four months, and have been able to go without it for a week at a time, without the rupture coming down. So I think I am about cured, with many thanks to you.

Man Seventy-two Years Old Cured

I take pleasure in aiding all my friends who are ruptured. I am entirely cured, and do not need to wear a truss now. I am 72 years old. One man to whom I recommended the Cluthe Truss says he would not take $150 and be without his truss, if he could not get another. Use my recommendation any time.

This Case of Double Rupture Cured

Am writing you to let you know what your truss has done for me. My ruptures are both healed up perfectly sound. They do not bother me in the least. I cannot say enough for the Cluthe Truss. You have my permission to use this letter, and I would be glad to make affidavit to it, if you wished.

Never Spent any Money in His Life that Did Him So Much Good

I was ruptured for six years and never got anything that did me any good in that time till I got this truss from you. I tried everything I heard of before I got my Cluthe Truss. I am now about well, but I still wear the truss when doing heavy work. I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good.

Saved from an Operation, Costing at Least $300, by the Cluthe Truss

I am getting along finely. I have only worn the truss a few weeks and would not expect a cure of my case so soon. I work about fourteen hours a day, and am on my feet all day long. I never have the least trouble with the truss, and would not sell it for any money. It saved me from an operation costing at least $300. I wish you all the success you deserve.

It is only in justice to you, and a great pleasure to me that now after wearing your truss for 90 days, to say that I find my rupture back in place and that it does not come down without the truss. However, I have thought it best to wear it for a while longer, believing that my case, a double rupture of 50 years standing, is practically cured. I am 67 years of age, and during that time I have tried over 25 different trusses and treatments for rupture.

Cured In Seven Months While Indulging in Athletic Sports

I had tried several so-called trusses with poor results up to last May, when you fitted me, and I can positively state that from that day my rupture has not been down since. I indulge in athletic sports, in swimming and bathing and wore your truss in the water with no inconvenience whatever. I feel confident that I am now entirely cured of my rupture, and write this hoping that some afflicted brothers may take advantage of your grand invention. You may use the above for recommendation if you wish.

FRANK A. PLUNKETT,
25 Water St., New York City.
Absolutely Cured by the Cluthe Truss

About August, 1909, I began using your truss for rupture. With it life was not such a misery as all my other trusses had made it. Some months thereafter I took the truss off and found I was completely cured. And herewith greetings and heartfelt thanks, for I know your members to be great benefactors to suffering humanity.

Before I bought my Cluthe truss I was examined by two “doctors.” One would cure me with the knife for $200 and $25 per week while in hospital, and the other, by injection, for $150, and he would also use some form of Spring truss.

You are at liberty to use these few words any way you wish.

Doctor Who Was to Operate Calls It Perfect Cure by Cluthe Truss

I am perfectly cured by wearing one of your trusses. My rupture was as large as a goose egg, and was out all of the time. I put your truss on and kept it on for one hundred days, and when I took it off the rupture was all healed up and cured. The doctor who was going to operate on me called it a permanent cure.

Cluthe Truss Cured This Californian 76 Years Old

I am glad to have the opportunity of letting the public know of the benefit I received from the truss purchased from you. It is all you claim for it, for my left rupture is now cured and the one on the right side almost well. I am past 76 years old but I felt all of ten years younger from the day I commenced using your wonderful truss. I shall be indeed glad to impart to those who suffer as I did, any information I can give regarding the Cluthe Truss.

This Chicagoan Cured in 3 Months

After I had worn your truss three months, I noticed that the rupture did not appear as formerly on retiring at night. An instance—my cat had a fit one night, I jumped out of bed very hurriedly, grabbed the cat, rushed down two flights of stairs and threw the cat out on the porch.

When I returned to my room I thought of the truss, not having thought to put it on before going downstairs—was overjoyed to find that there was no sign of the rupture; this was several months ago and there has been no return of the rupture since. Would be pleased to recommend the Cluthe Truss at any time.

I have worn the Cluthe Truss six weeks and am fast getting well—can’t see or find anything of my rupture now—but shall wear truss longer.

The elastic truss that I used to wear got so wet on the body that I had to tighten it up to get it to hold—only to have it fail me later in the day. Mr. Fitzgerald has also been greatly benefited by his truss he got from you.

Cured While Doing Heavy Work

I felt like a different man the very first week I wore my Cluthe Truss, and it has done me so much good that I can safely leave it off entirely. However, I take no chances, and being so comfortable and easy, I put it on when I have extra heavy lifting to do in the course of my heavy work. I have spoken to many of my friends about the wonderful Cluthe Truss.

Thanks God Daily for the Cluthe Truss

This is simply to inform you that I must every day when I put your truss on thank God for having found something which is not a fraud but a blessing to all ruptured people.

What This Kansan Says

I will say your truss has helped me very much. Believe I am now cured for sure as the rupture does not come out now when the truss is off. It is the best 86thing I ever tried.

This Philadelphian Cured in Less Than 8 Months

It gives me great pleasure to write you a few words of commendation in reference to the truss I purchased from you in March, 1910. I, at first, doubted its full value as I thought my rupture was incurable, but subsequent results have proved my error. Ever since my birth I have endured the pains and torture of a rupture until I started to wear your truss, which was nearly eight months ago. I am now entirely cured of my rupture—thanks to the Cluthe Truss. Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your able device and assistance, as you have made me feel like a new man after all these years of misery.

You may use anything I have written, as I like to encourage a good deed.

Ruptured 30 Years, Believes He is Now Cured

I have been ruptured for 30 years and have worn a good many kinds of trusses and I never got one that did not nearly kill me at times. My doctor has been trying for years to have me undergo an operation, and I nearly made up my mind to have an operation when I saw your advertisement in the Chicago Tribune.

I decided to try once more to get a truss, and after thinking about it and putting it off for six months I finally purchased one of your trusses three months ago. If I had only sent for one when I first started I would not need to wear a truss now.

My rupture was a large one and since wearing your truss the rupture has never been out. I can now stand on my feet without the truss on and rupture does not show—the opening seems to be closed.

I feel so grateful for the relief that I cannot help but thank you and any time you wish to have anyone call on me I will gladly recommend you.

Proof of Permanency of Hernia Cure by Cluthe Truss Years Ago

The truss purchased of you years ago gave me permanent relief and cure. While I was always skeptical as to a permanent hernia cure of rupture by means of a truss the fact remains that after following your advice and instruction, I have been going about without a truss, doing all kinds of work same as I did prior to becoming ruptured. I cheerfully recommend your truss to one and all afflicted with rupture. Only the patient himself knows from experience how he has to suffer. Publish this letter if you so desire.

For 47 Years Suffered with Wrong Trusses, Cluthe Truss Proved Its Worth in This Case

I was ruptured in the spring of 1863; for 47 years I bought and wore all kinds of trusses and none ever held the rupture. One year ago I bought the Cluthe Truss; it holds the rupture securely, I have better health, can now do any kind of work on the farm and forget actually that I wear a truss; I have no dread now of strangulation and am thankful I saw your adv., sent for your book and bought the one truss that by experience proves that it holds the rupture at all times. I am now in my 85th year and happy with the Cluthe Truss.

I have worn your truss since August and in the following January—merely by chance—I took off the truss. To my surprise I could not see any rupture nor feel any opening—nor after coughing, the spot is firm and no protrusion. While as a member of Co. F, 46th N.Y. Vol. Inf., during the bombardment of Fort Pulasky, I ruptured myself, and ever since—after 49 years (April, 1862), I have tried many trusses with no results of any benefit until I tried yours. I gladly give the Cluthe Truss my strongest recommendation on what it has done for me.

Wonderful Hernia Cure for His Double Rupture

Many years ago I discarded the Cluthe Truss as it cured me of my 2 ruptures.

I can recommend the Cluthe Truss to all persons suffering from rupture. I surely have been benefited by the Cluthe Truss very much in the short time I have been wearing it.

I was cured by the Cluthe Truss after suffering from a rupture for 20 years and I want the world to know of my cure. I have not had my Cluthe Truss on in 8 months and I can see no sign of my rupture.

Another Cure and Another Thankful Man

I am very thankful to Mr. Chas. Cluthe, for he was the first man that ever told me where my rupture was. Two doctors wanted to operate on me and were about to get me into a hospital when I heard of the Cluthe Truss and bought it and it has cured me of my rupture. Both doctors were about 6 inches out of the way of where Mr. Cluthe told me my rupture really was.

This New York City Man Completely Cured in Less Than a Year

I found such good results from the use of the Cluthe Truss that I only had to wear it less than a year when I was completely cured. I have since been as well as ever I have been in my life.

Could Hardly Walk. Now Rid of All Pain

Words cannot praise the Cluthe Truss highly enough. After suffering 9 years I purchased a Cluthe Truss and it has rid me of all pain. Before wearing your truss I was unable to walk half a mile. But one morning lately I walked 8 miles and if my feet did not give way I think I would be walking yet. I have no pain now and perform all my household duties, as I could not before wearing the Cluthe Truss, because I had such pain from my rupture. I owe much to the Cluthe Truss. It saved me from the knife.

Thanks to Cluthe Truss Can Now Climb Trees

The Cluthe Truss is the only one worthy of the name of truss. It was the best investment I ever made. I suffered untold agony with other appliances, but the Cluthe has been a pleasure to wear. I can now climb trees like a squirrel. Thanks to the Cluthe Truss.

Grateful for the Cure Effected by the Cluthe Truss

Physicians Say Best Truss They Ever Saw

I have worn your Cluthe Truss for a month and am free to say it is the only Truss that I ever found perfectly satisfactory.

Ruptured 20 Years; Cured in 5 Months

For the benefit of those who are in the dark about Trusses and who are suffering unnecessarily, I wish to state, without solicitation on your part, that after spending over $200 for all kinds of trusses for over 20 years, I purchased a Cluthe Truss in March, 1908. Five months later I took off the Truss and have not worn any since. My rupture is cured and I am to-day as strong and well as the healthiest man. I might add that I did not take your promises seriously when I purchased the Truss, but I have changed my mind since and I hold you now in the highest respect and believe you fill a long-felt want for the suffering thousands. Anyone can communicate with me who doubts the truth of this assertion.

Cannot Speak Highly Enough for the Cluthe Truss

About 8 or 10 months ago I purchased a Cluthe Truss which I have worn with the greatest success. About a week ago I left Truss off and find that the Rupture does not show; neither have I felt it and I think I am cured. However, I shall put Truss on and wear it when I have hard work to do as a special precaution. I cannot speak highly enough for your Truss.

Couldn’t Work Until He Got Cluthe Truss

You may tell the world that you make the best truss in the world. I have been ruptured 10 years and wore 4 different appliances before the Cluthe Truss and each of the 4 failed. Since wearing the Cluthe Truss my rupture has not been down once, despite the fact that my work is heavy in a saw mill. I could not do a hard day’s work until I got the Cluthe Truss.

JOHN K. WEST,

Says Cluthe Truss Leads All

I can truthfully say the Cluthe Truss leads all the others. The old-time harnesses are only a torture. During the past 3 weeks I have been wearing the 92Cluthe Truss and my rupture has not bothered me since. I scarcely can believe I have it on, it is so easy.

ARTHUR FOWLER,

Rides Horseback and Runs an Automobile

During the few months I have been wearing the Cluthe Truss I have done almost everything that would rupture a man or cause a ruptured man agony or to be operated on. I ride horseback and I am now a chauffeur. Ask any man what it means to crank an engine of high compression. This needs an extraordinary truss to hold a bad rupture under such conditions, but the Cluthe Truss does it. I hardly know I have it on.

His Rupture Has Not Appeared for the Last 4 Months

I am inclined to think I am cured, but hardly wish to say so absolutely, because I still wear my Cluthe Truss when I work, leaving it off now and then when doing no heavy manual labor. My rupture has not appeared for the last 4 months and I begin to feel confident that it will not appear again.

My little boy was 2 years old when I purchased a Cluthe Truss for him. After wearing it 4 months it cured his rupture. He is now past 4 years and has never been troubled since.

Cluthe Truss Worth Its Weight in Gold

Hasn’t Needed Truss for Over a Year

I am glad to say that I have not needed any truss for over a year. The Cluthe Truss cured my rupture. I find that ruptured people are somewhat adverse to 93telling others of their trouble. That is why they do not hear all they might from their fellow sufferers. I would be only too glad to impart to them the benefits received from the CLUTHE TRUSS.

EDWARD FIELD,

Thanks God for Having Heard of the Cluthe Truss

You will remember I got a Cluthe Truss 6 months ago. About 4 weeks ago I took it off and I feel I am cured and have seen no sign of rupture. I feel so much better that I thank God I ever sent for your book. You sent a truss just to fit my case and it cured me and I cannot recommend it too highly.

Now Does Heaviest Work

I will always recommend the Cluthe Truss as the only one that did me any good. I am sure I am cured, but at present will not stop wearing it and take any chances, as I am riding on horses nearly all the time, and a trotting horse is the worst thing for any truss or rupture. My rupture never came down. Your truss never hurt me. I shall gladly answer all letters when they send me return stamped envelope.

Enjoys All Kinds of Comfort from Cluthe Truss

One month ago I bought a Cluthe Truss, believing at the time I was throwing my money away, as I had purchased so many other appliances during the 40 years I have been ruptured and spent hundreds of dollars. But I must say for once my money was well spent. Since I have worn the Cluthe Truss I have enjoyed all sorts of comfort. It has held the rupture perfectly since applied. It is clean and agreeable to wear; in fact, I cannot realize I wear a truss. I will with pleasure explain and show my truss to anyone in this section, doubting the above.

To-day is the 10th anniversary since you fitted me with the wonderful Cluthe Truss and I feel that I must not let this day pass without letting you know my opinion of it. Since that day 10 years ago my rupture, a very bad scrotal rupture of some 30 years’ standing, has not come down from that day to this, and I am permanently cured. I wish I could tell every poor afflicted mortal throughout this land about the Cluthe Truss, and how much suffering and misery it would save them.

Listen to this Man’s Heartspoken Thanks for the Cluthe Truss

After going through all the pain and misery of a left side rupture for 16 long years which got so bad that it nearly cost my life, after wearing all the different Trusses I could buy, none of them any good as I am a locomotive engineer and my work is of the hardest kind, straining and pulling when I have to reverse my engine a thousand times a day, I purchased a Cluthe Truss. I have worn it 10 days and as regards the rupture I have not seen it since I began to wear Truss, which Truss proves a miracle to me. It fits me so comfortably that I really feel like a new man, started out on a new life in a new world with a heart full of joy and gladness. I would if I were near you call on you and your sons who helped to make the Cluthe Truss and shake hands with each of you and give you my heartfelt thanks for the good you have done me.

If there is any sufferer who wants to know about the Cluthe Truss let him write to me.

My rupture has not come down since the day I put on my Cluthe Truss. I followed your instructions, and I must say I have been well rewarded. I would not take $1000 for my truss for I owe my cure to it. You may cheerfully inform the whole world as far as I am concerned, for if I can help others suffering as I did, I certainly will be glad to do so. I am sure it is no disgrace to be ruptured, it is simply a misfortune. I am sure that in most cases of rupture, your truss would soon work a speedy cure as it did for me.

Finds a Cure in 3 Months

The truss I received from you gave me complete satisfaction. I had not worn it 3 months, when I could leave it off as completely cured. I believe it to be the most perfect device for rupture that can be made. I might say a great deal more in its favor, but I am sure that any one who once puts on a Cluthe Truss would never be satisfied with the torturing leg-straps and heavy springs of other trusses.

You are at liberty to use this as you please, if it will help any poor sufferer, suffering from rupture as I did before I purchased my Cluthe Truss. I am still using the truss, but my rupture is cured from its use. I have been the means of your selling several of your trusses around here, and I am still doing all I can for you. Your appliance is all and even more than you claim for it. Previously I tried all kinds of trusses that I saw or heard of, but none of them did me any good.

I am more than pleased to be relieved of the annoyances and suffering I have had nearly all my life.

I have often been without my Cluthe Truss, and rupture has never come down even without the truss. Before getting the Cluthe Truss I had tried many others, but none of them held my rupture continuously, to say nothing of the discomfort caused and chafing by those leg-straps and springs. By reason of my work as section foreman I am frequently required to do heavy lifting, such as railroad rails and ties. This is what I think of the Cluthe Truss.
