Of the visitors to the Otago Winter Show, the probabilities are that, in accord with the general experience, a great many will be suffering with rupture, particularly as regards the farming community, whose vocation necessitates heavy lifting, the most prolific cause of the malady. A. serious outcome of this terrible trouble is tha't it causes the sufferer to be irritable in the extreme, and tends to make life unbearable for all with whom they come in contact. Especially is thie so within the domestic circle. The utmost gratitude has been expressed to Mr Martin on numerous occasions, not by the patient who has been personally benefited, but by the wife or husband, as the case may be, who is at last relieved from the " demon of unrest " which has so long controlled the affiliated one. The visit to the Show should certainly in many instances be made to serve a two-fold purpose, the more important beipg, of course, the opportunity of receiving ' skilful and scientific treatment at the hands of Mr A. W. Martin, controller of the Dr Sherman method of curing rupture It seems superfluous, after all the convincing evidence 'that has been produced in the columns of the papers for weeks back, to point out once more that rupture cannot be cured by trusses, and need not be treated by the surgeon with his knife. The Dr J. A. Sherman appliance, .assisted by the compound used, has Droved,' in the experienced hands of Mr A. W. Martin, to be an immediate relief and a permanent cure, and this, not speaking with the limited local experience of a resident medical _ practitioner, but w;th 'the practically unlimited experience afforded by the whole continent of Australia, as well as both islands of New Zealand. Why cannot people judge for themselves?" Simply because they decline to look this question of their lives seriously and manfully in the face. If they would only do so. they would bo compelled to admit: "The truss is doing me rio good." This is the fact. Why not acknowledge it? Having acknowledged tho fact, what next is to be dono? Only one thing ie left for tho logically-minded to do. and that is. believe the overwhelming evidence which confroptfi them, and seek the benefit—i.e., the permanent one—which the Dr J. A. Sherman treatment can give, and has given, to hundreds. Note.—Mr A. W. Martin will bring his present stay in Dunedin to a close on Friday, the 31st of May, at 5 p.m. TJp to that time ho may bo consulted daily at his rooms in Samson's Buildings, D.oWlini? street, Dunedin.
