GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK. It, is simply wonderful the way in which many people persist in trying by-way after by-way instead of “getting on the right track” at once. The outcome of this persistence in taking the wrong direction in numberless oases leads to disaster. Only recently Mr A. W. Martin found it necessary to submit a hernia patient to a course of massage in order to remove the illefleets of the continued wearing of a cumbrous truss. The patient in question had had plenty of evidence that treatment by the Ur J. A. Sherman method was the only effective means of getting cured, yet he must, try other means, and as it happened his rupture was rendered worse than before. Trusses are intended to prevent, by downward and inward pressure, the protrusion of the bowel, and this fact alone should satisfy anyone that healing is impossible. Mr Martin’s appliance conforms to the shape of each individual patient, and its action is directly opposite to that of a truss —i.c., its pressure is “upwards” and “contractile,” and closes the aperture. 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., Saturdays 10 to 12 noon. A booklet on rupture and its treatment sent free to sufferers. —Advt.
