TO THE RUPTURED. SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. NO Man is safe from Rupture, no matter how insignificant he may consider it; for every man who has died from it once flattered himself that it was but a triflingailment ; and every man who now suffers from it and the injury of trusses to such an extent that his life has no enjoyments, once regarded it as unworthy of special attention. Remember, it is not a standstill affliction; it is steadily progressive, even unto death, and he is wise who takes the necessary steps to be effectually relieved of it before the day of suffering and gloom comes upon him. It should not be regarded in any stage with indifference, as serious consequences may result from it at any time- He should take warning from the example of others, and not meet with death through strangulated rupture, as Gibbon, the great English historian, did, not withstanding his great foresight and talents. An opportunity is now granted to the suffering of procuring the Most Reliable Treatment known in the World for the Radical Cure of Rupture. Cases of 10, 20, 30, and 40 years’ standing have been cured by it, and thousands of persons nave been restored to the blessings of a sound body. This treatment wasdiscovered and invented by DR. J. A. SHERMAN, of New ifork. And can be obtained from MR. A. W. MARTIN, Who is now in Auckland, and may be consulted at the Central Hotel. Consultation Free. Hours: Daily, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Send for pamphlets, “A Warning and Guide to the Ruptured” and Indisputable Tastimony.”

The following testimonials from New Zealand patients speak for themselves. These are but a few, taken from scores of others, that can be seen at any time at Mr Martin's consulting rooms: — AN UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL SENT TO THE CHRISTCHURCH PAPER BY A WELL-KNOWN RE SIDENT. To the Editor. 24, Lower High Street, Christchurch. April 18, 1904. Dear Sir, —Allow me, through the medium of your columns, to give my own experiences regarding the methods now before the public for the relief and cure of rupture. For the past twenty-five years I have suffered from a bad scrotal rupture on my left side. I tried every kind of cure that gave the faintest hope of relief, but gradually got worse. Twelve months ago I adopted a treatment with an elastic truss, to be worn day and night, and a lotion to be rubbed in. I acted according to directions, but instead of it curing me I got worse under the treatment, the agony being sometimes indescribable. While in this deplorable condition the advertisement of Dr. J. A. Sherman’s Method caught my eye in the papers, and three weeks ago I consulted Mr Martin at the Clarenoon Hotel. I am happy to say that there and then I found the relief I had been longing for. The appliance is the most comfortable one I ever wore; in fact, I don’t feel it on me. Already I feel quite a different man, and have enjoyed better health these few weeks than I have don* for years. Hence you will see why I appreciate Mr Martin’s services,and I feel it my duty to make this public declaration, that others affected may know where to obtain relief, and avoid the delay and suffering from experiments, such as I for long years experienced. Apart from Sir Martin’s undoubted skill as a specialist in rupture, it is a pleasure to add that he is one of the most straightforward gentlemen I have ever met. —I am, yours truly, WILLIAM BATES, Furniture Manufacturer. Heriot, December 28, 1903. MR A. W. MARTIN. Dear Sir,—My four children treated by you are all cured. One boy eleven years old had been ruptured for ten years, the girl, eight years old, had been ruptured for two years, another boy, five years old, ruptured since a baby, and the youngest, one and a-half years old, also ruptured since a baby. T say Dr. J. A.
