FACTS.

A fact—i.o., a scientific fact—is a theory that has stood and continues to stand every tost to which it can be 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 allocation (a hybrid theory) that rupture can be permanently cured by surgical operation has also failed to stand teste innumerable, consequently it never reached, on account of recurrences, the statue of " fact." The Dr J. A. Sherman method of curing rupture has, in the export hands of Mr A. W. Martin, proved itself to faithfully fulfil every tost 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 ho immediately relieves, and ultimately cures. PF-ow 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 how many have been disappointed after an expensive surgical operation by finding thai the malady was accentuated rather than cured? Mr A. W. Martin ifi now in the midet of his twelfth trio to the chief cities of New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia. Ho has already visited South- . land, will remain a few weeks in Dunedin (his homo and will then proceed north. From ono of the northern cities he will go to tho other side; and. let it he noted, this fact of repeated visits to all main centres is the strongest evidence possible that benefits follow the appearance of Mr Martin. During Mr Martin's present • stay in Dunedin suffcrfrrs are strongly recommended 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 relirf experienced at his hands inspires confidence in tho patient. Don't sufEcr any longer, but at once visit the export—the most experienced Epecialist in rupture cases south of the line. Mr A. W. Martin b? consulted at his Rooms, Samson's Buildings, Dowling etreet daily 10 to 12 noon, 2 to 5 p.m.;' Saturday. 10 to 12 a.m.; Extra hours, Monday evening. 7 to 6.
