FACTS.

A fact—i.o., a soientifio fact—is a theory that has stood and continues to stand every test to which it can bo submitted. If some day it fails a test, then it ia no longer regarded as a scientific fact, but as an exploded theory. Triases of whatever make or design are all exploded theories. The allegation (a. hybrid theory) that rupture can bo permanently cured by surgical operation has also failed to stand tests innumerable, consequently it never reached; on account of recurrences, the status of "fact." Tho Dr J. A, Sherman method of curing rupture has, in the expert hands of Mr A. W. Martin, proved itself to faithfully fulfil every test to which has been submitted. Mr Martin, after careful examination of tho patient, undertakes or does not undertake to treat him. If he undertakes a case lie immediately relieves, and ult'-natoly cures. How different is tho experience of patients who have undergone other kinds of treatment (or, say, "ill-treatment")? How often have patients found that on© kind of truss after another rather augmented the pain and disoomfituro than otherwise? And how many have been disappointed after an expensive surgical operation by finding that the malady was accentuated rathcr° than cured? Mr A. W. Martin is now in tho midst of his twelfth trir> to the chief cities of New Zealand and tho Commonwealth of Australia. Ho has already visited Southland, will remain a few weeks in! Dunedin (his home town), and will then proceed north. From one of tho northern cities he will go to the other side; and, let it be noted, this fact of repeated visits to all main centres is the strongest evidence possible that benefits follow tho appearance of Mr Martin. During Mr Martin's present stay in Dunedin sufferers are strongly recommended to work their courage up to the Ditch necessary to venturing an interview. Mt Martin hurts no one, his treatment is confidential and the immediate relief experienced at his hands inspires confidence in tho patient. Don't suffer any longer, but at once visit tho expert—tho most experienced specialist in rupture cases south of the line. Mr A. W. Martin may be consulted at his Rooms, Samson's Buildings, Dow] inn- street daily 10 to 12 noon, 2 to p.m.;' Saturday, 10 to 12 a.m.; Extra hours!, Monday evening. 7 to 8.
