PROFESSOR BARRADEN

The laughter season commences on Thursday evening next, when the popular Professor Barraden ,will again present an hypnotio display. The entertainer intends to present an entirely new performance, his big feature scene being "The Hypnotic Fishing Excursion," which has the name of being the most laughable event Barraden presents.. He has his subjecte 5imagine, while under his influence, that they go on a fishing excursion. As an entertainer Professor Barraden has proved his ability, and his performances should attract large attendances. CANNOT BE GAOLED FOR THAT. It was small comfort to the man in prison to bo told by the visiting lawyer: "But you cannot be gaoled for that." The poor man wae gaoled, and knew it. Lawyers are not the only ones who make funny remarks like that; doctors say just as extraordinary things. For instance, Dr X., on meeting Mr B. (one of his old patients), said: "Well, are you ready for the_ operation yet?" And then, without waiting for a reply, added: " You'll have to go through with it, old man. You cannot be cured otherwise." It may be asked wherein was the doctor's remark funny? Well, the point of the joke lies in the fact that the doctor's one-time patient, who could not be cured without an operation, was cured—absolutely cured, —and there had been no carving and cutting , ! Mr A. W. Martin, Sole Controller of the Dr J. A. Sherman method of curing rupture; Mr A. W. Martin, who has handled during the last 13 or 14 years more rupture cases than anyone else in Australasia; Mr A. W. Martin, who can show hundreds of testimonials to the efficacy of his treatment; and the same Mr A. W. Martin, -who, before a judge of the Supremo Court in Australia, proved by numerous witnesses (doctors among them) that by the Dr J. A. Sherman method of troatine rupture he had cured where doctors had failed. It was this Mr A. W. Martin who had cured the particular case in question, and who now invites rupture patients to avail themselves of his expert services at their earliest possible opportunity.
