RUPTURE.

CAN BE CURED. .WITHOUT OPERATION. Mr A. ~W. Martin, ruptnre specialist, is now at the White Hart Hotel, Christchurch, and may be consulted uo to 12 noon on Saturday, the 10th of July, when he will leave for Wellington. Sufferers from rupture number about one in ten of the population, and they need not be ashamed of the fact. Rupture moro often than not is the result of unusual strain, persistency in heavy work, and of continuous endeavour. In a great measure the fact- of being ruptured is indicative of a good machine being overdone by the willing heart. It is not a lazy man's trouble. It is not a disease, but a break due to mechanical action. In a sense it is the hallmark of a worthy citizen temporarily incapacitated by over-exertion. Such men nave no cause to be ashamed; they are foolish to hide their trouble; it is suicidal to delay visiting the expert and getting permanently cured. Don't tinker with palliatives, i.e., with wretched, ineffective, uncomfortable, and disfiguring trusses; they invariably annoy, inconvenience, and prolong rather than modify the agony of rupture. By the Dr. J. A. Sherman method of treatment, practised by him for some 20 years, Mr A. W. Martin absolutely cures rupture; so don't delay any longer in seeking his expert advice and treatment. Consultations are free. Hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 7
