RUPTURE.

It cannot be 100 thorrughly insisted up.u that t'.e reason why the wearirg of a truss docs not cure Rupture ii because the priompal upon which the tru > works nbsolutely prevents nealing. The press'irc directed by a trus- is simp'y u withstand the presure from within, utid when it faili to do so the pa>i has to Em enlarg-dtilt the wcari-g becomes not merely unsligntly and c w-Lersome, but »,so painful in the extreme. T.cDr J. A. Sherman .d of trvfatiug rupture ii diametrica.ly op.oied to tiie truss metho.l, fjr instealof exerting the downward "spreiding" pressure, which absolutely healing, by ptis ling the ruptured wall apart, it cure* by exerting au upward " centraciie " pressure holdmg the injured membrane iu s.uch a way that th* pbit* must unite, aud healing becomes possible; and such healing is aided by a useful adjunct in the form of a curative compound. The result is -tvtling—not to the patient who has long prayed for such reasonable treatment, but to those (even in the medical profession) who hare everlastingly preach ei of believed that nothing but a severe operation could possibly extirpate the rupture. That under the Sherman treatment a rupture is gradually reduced and finally has been proved in cases of 10, 20, 30, 40, and even 50 years' standing. Mr A. W. Martin, Sole Controller of the Sherman Treatment, may be consult* cdat his rooms, Damson's Buildings, Howling St. Dunedin. A free booklet on rupture and its treatment is sent to any sufferer.
