Mr A. W. Martin, solo controller of the J' A. Sherman method of treating rupture, having returned to Dunedin for a short visit, previous to starting his ninth annual tour' throughout New Zealand, prospective patients should avail themselves at once of this opportunity to be benefited by his skilful treatment, Mr Martin is now in possession of numerous inquiries as to the date of his return to tho cities throughout Australasia, and expressing sorrow at failure to sec him on his previous visit. As no two oases of rupture arc alike, personal treatment is absolutely necessary for success, so sufferers from that dire misfortune should disabuse their minds that failure to see Mr Martin personally can be remedied by intercourse through the post. Mr Martin's piles of testimonials from former sufferers should be ample evidence to tho most sceptical that tho Dr J. A. Sherman method of curing rupture is the most successful known, particularly when most of those ho has cured certify to the failure of all other advertised methods. It has been alleged locally that an operation for rupture would make a candidate fit to pass medical examination for tho front, but this is extremely doubtful, for it is well known that evidence of an operation has been sufficient to cause rejection, and. as has been before stated by Mr Martin, it stands to reason that once tho wall of the abdomen has been cut it cannot .possibly be as strong to resist protrusion as when wholly sound. Mr A. W. Martin may bo consulted at his roomc, Samson's Buildings, Dowling street. Dunedin, daily 10 to 12, 2 to 5; Saturdays 10 to 12 noon. Consultation free.
