No Exaggeration.

Exaggeration haunts the pages of biography, proclaims the blind idolatry of lore, and makes the air heavy with its nauseating incense in the temples of heroworship. The biographer, the lover, the worshipper of heroes—they are all adepts in the art of heightening the colour of truth, and iu this they are rather selfdeceived than deceiving. „ No man cau ever be guilty of an execs<ive estimate of the l)r .J. A. Sherman Metliod of Curing Rupture without operation. This treatment do towers above all others in scientific majesty as to make exaggeration impossible. The treatmeut that can lift thousands from the depths of despair and make their lives bright and happy, that can bring easeand comfort where poin hold complete sway, that can make men and women f> el as if life was worth living, and make it impossible for the rhetoric of praise to pass the limits of truth iu setting forth its value to the human race is unquestionably a boon to mankind. This claim for the merits of the J. A. Sherman Method of Treating Rupture as successfully practised by Mr A. W. Martin is " no exaggeration." Hundreds of patients have passed through Mr Martin's hands, and have given testimonials relative to his successful treatment. These patients had, as a rule tried every other means of getting relief but in vain. They had tried trusses of every make, and added to them extra paddings to try and make them effective, till each in turn became too combersome to wear without absolute pain not to say discomfort. Scores of Mr Martin's patients had also undergone surgial operations at the hands of eminent men and in some cases two, three, four, and five operations, and dually resorted to Mr Martin's consulting room with anguished minds and despair written plainly on their countenances. Such as these have been cured, and oh the strength of such examples Mr Martin asks you, gentle reader—presuming you to be a sufferer : *' Have you a right to consider your case—bad as it may be — hopeles* f ' Mr Martin may be consulted at his rodms, Samson's Buildings, Dowling street, daily 10 to 12 noon, 2 to 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 to 12 noon.
