PUBLIC NOTICES. A MISTAKEN IDEA. A GREAT MANY PEOPLE seem to be impressed with the idea—almost a. conviction—that there is nothing for it when ruptured but to resort to the wearing of an uncomfortable and cumbrous truss. After a short time of wear the truss, becoming ineffective in supporting the rupture, pads one after the other are added till the fact is announced to everyone that “ here is a sufferer from hernia.'* As a. matter of fact, trusses are nowi out of fashion, or rapidly becoming so. Sensible people have learned that rupture need not be a permanent malady; that it can be immediately relieved and ultimately cured. They knew that trusses do not euro, and that operations are not always successful; but that Mr A. VV. MARTIN, the rupture specialist, known throughout Australia and Now Zealand for many years, has effected cures in numberlfiss cases where every other known method has boon tried and failed. Mr Martin has just returned to his home town after Ids twentieth annual visit to the chief centres of both islands of Now Zealand, and may now bo consulted daily at his rooms in Samson’s Buildings, Dowling street. The Dr J. A. Sherman method of treatment, practised for 25 years by Mr Martin, has proved its exceptional merit. it immediately relievos, and ultimately cures, and there is no restriction as to diet or exorcise. Consultations are free. Hours, daily, 10 a.m. to 12, 2 p.m. to 5; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. A booklet on rupture and its treatment is posted free to any sufferer. ELECTROPLATING.

These bonuses will improve, by the operation of interest alone, at a rapid rale to the extent that in 15 years the Reversionary Bonuses now declared will amount to £2 5s and £1 16s per cent, per annum respectively to life and endowment assurance policyholders.
