THE DANGER OF RUPTURE.

No man is safe who has rupture, uo matter how insignificant he may consider it, for every man who has died from it once flattered himself that it was but a trifling ailment, and every man who now suffers from it and the injury of trusses to such an extent that life has no enjoyments, once regarded it as unworthy of special attention. It is not a standstill affliction. It is steadily progressive, and he is wise who takes the necessary steps to be effectually relieved of it before the day of suffering and gloom comes upon him. The Dr. J. A. Sherman method of treatment has robbed rupture of its terrors. Hundreds of patients in Australia and New Zealand, who but for this treatment would spill be suffering, and bearing with them the badge of their servitude —a truss —have testified to the speedy manner of their cure, although they had previously suffered for many years. The cur e is effected without an operation, and the patient can perform any kind of labour during the treatment with safety. Mr A. W. Martin is the sole proprietoi in .the whole world of this wonderfully effective Dr J. A. Sherman method of treatment for rupture, and is now completing his twentyeight h year of practice in Dunedin.
