Cluthe Rupture Institute
An unusual institutional byline from the early 1900s, this name is attached to a practical guide on hernia care built around the Cluthe company’s truss business. The book reads less like a personal memoir and more like a direct, sales-minded health manual from another era.

Cluthe's Advice to the Ruptured
by Cluthe Rupture Institute
About the author
Cluthe Rupture Institute appears to have been the publishing name behind Cluthe's Advice to the Ruptured, an early 20th-century book about hernias, then commonly called "rupture." Public-domain editions identify the work with the Cluthe Rupture Institute in Bloomfield, New Jersey, while other catalog records connect it with Chas. Cluthe & Sons.
Rather than a conventional author with a documented personal life, this seems to have been an institutional or business identity tied to the promotion of the Cluthe truss and related treatment advice. That makes the book interesting as a historical artifact: it offers a window into period medical marketing, home-treatment culture, and the confident, practical tone of self-help publishing from its time.
Because reliable biographical information about an individual behind the name is limited in the sources reviewed here, it is safest to treat Cluthe Rupture Institute as a company or imprint rather than as a clearly documented person.
