FOUND IN THE DUST BIN. Bobbie enters wearing father's discarded truss. Mother: “What do you mean by wearing that? What will your father say? Fathers enters: “It’s all right, mother: I threw that away this morning. It’s the old one that I gave up after seeing the rupture specialist. Mr A. W. Martin’s appliance might go the same way, as I have been doing without it for three months now, but I mean to preserve it if only to show it to other sufferers. I feel completely cured, so congratulate me.” Mother: “Yes, I congratulate you; and, let me say, I congratulate myself also. I have noticed that you have been less irritable for the last few weeks, and have felt much happier in consequence.” Dad; “I can quite understand that, my dear: but I hope you will forgive all the worry I have occasioned you. You require to have a compound rupture as I had to know what torment it occasions. Thank goodness, it is all over now, and I mean to put several sufferers whom 1 know on the road to being cured.” There have been hundreds of oldfashioned,. cumbersome trusses discarded after interviews with Mr A. W. Martin, the rupture specialist; so readers may not regard the foregoing instance as an exceptional case. From the first Mr Martin’s appliance gives relief, both physical and mental. It is not obtrusive, and is immediately effective. It does not bear on the aperture as a truss does—i.e., it does not prevent a closing of the wound. It draws the parts together, favouring complete healing. Hundreds of former sufferers can, and do, bear witness to the healing of their wounds and to the ultimate cure effected by the Dr J. A. Sherman method of dealing with rupture as applied by Mr Martin. Mr A. W. Martin, rupture specialist, may be consulted at his rooms. Samson’s Buildings.
