FACTS.

A fact—i.e., a scientific 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 is no longer regarded as a scientific fact, but as an exploded theory. Trusses of whatever make or design are all exploded theories. The allegation (a hybrid theory) thai rupfcuro can be permanently cured by surgical operation has also failed to stand tests innumerable, consequently it never reached, on account of recurrences, the status of " fact." The Dr .7. A. Sherman method of curing' rupture has, in the expert hands of Mi- A W. Martin, proved! itself to faithfully fulfil every test to which it has been submitted. Mr Martin, after careful examination of the patient, undertakes, or does not undertake to treat him. If ho undertakes a case he immediately relieves, and ultimately cures. How different is the experience of patients ■who have undergone other kinds of treatment (or, say, "ill-treatment")? How often have patients found that one kind of truss after another rather augmented the pain and discomfiture than otherwise? And ha tv many have been disappointed after an expensivo surgical operation by finding that the malady -was accentuated rather than cured? Mr A. W. Martin is now in the irndat of his twelfth trir> to tho chief cities of New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia, Ho has already visited Southland, will remain a few weeks in Dnnedin (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, tin's fact of repeated visits to all main centres is, the strongest evidence possible that benefits follow the appearance of Mr Martin. Durinsr Mr Martin's present stay in Duncdm sufferers are strongly re-, commended to work their courage up to the pitch necessary to venturing an interview. Mr Martin hurts no one, his treatment is confidential and tho immediate relief experienced at his hands inspires confidence in tho patient. Don't suffer any longer, but at once visit tho expert—the' most experienced specialist in rupture cases south of the lino. Mr A. W. Martin may be consulted at his Rooms, Samson's Buildings, Dowling street daily 10 to 12 noon, 2 to 5 p m •' Saturday, 10 to 12 a.m.; Extra hours', Monday evening. 7 to 8. • A Booklet on Rupture and its Treatment nested free to any sufferer.—l4/4/IZ.
