RUPTURE
It cannot be too thoroughly insisted upon that, .the reason why the wearing of a truss doos not cure rupture is because the principle upon which the truss works absolutely prevents healing. The pressure directed by the truss is simply meant to withstand '.the pressure from within, and when it fails to do so the pad has to be enlarged, till the wearing becomes not merely unsightly and cumbersome, but also painful in the extreme. The Dr. J. A. Sherman method of treating rupture is diametrically opposed to the truss method, for, instead of exerting the downward “spreading” pressure, which absolutely prevents healing, by pushing the ruptured wall a part, it cures by exerting an upward “contractile” pressure, holding the injured membrane in such a way that the parts must unite, and hfealing possible; and such healing is aided by a useful adjunct in the form of. a curative compound. The result is startling—not tto 'the patient who has long prayed for such reasonable treatment, but to those (even in the medical profession) who have everlastingly preached or believed that nothing buit a severe operation could possibly extirpate the rupture. That under the Sherman treatment a rupture is gradually reduced and finally disappears has been proved in cases of 10. 20, 30, 40 and even 50 years’ standing. Mr A. W. Martin, sole proprietor of the Dr. J. A. Sherman treatment, will send a booklet on rupture and its treatment free to any sufferer. Permanent Address: Samson’s Build ings Dowling St., Dunedin. —Advt.
