rived for the past seven years. I caunofir say as to the curative powers of this treatment, as my case fias not given it atrial yet, but this I do know, that ths APPLIANCE WORN is the BEST FRIEND EVER INVENTED FOR SUFFERERS OF HERNIA. For myself, lam not particularly anxious about a cure so long as I have the appliance. I ran in a one hundred yards foot race on the Caledonian Ground the other day, which is in itself SUFFICIENT PROOF of the SUPPORT offered by this APPLIANCE.” A manager of a large establishment inPrincess Street, Dunedin, writes;— “l have suffered untold agony for the past thirtylive years from a double scrotal rupture.. 1 have tried all kinds of trusses from London and other places, but they wereuseless, none of them being able to perfectly retain the ruptures. Some of. them gave me extra torture by chafing the skin nearly all off my back. I was getting alarmed at my fearful condition, and had given up all hope of relief, when I noticed that Dr. J. A. Sherman’s Method was to be introduced into New Zealand. I resolved to give it a trial, and certainly without any faith, as I could not imagine that by applying a compound to the outside it would cause a wound to heal inwardly. However, I consulted Mr M a rtin, and he suited the treatment to my case, and I must say that I felt the first day that life was worth living after all. The appliance is light, keeps in. place, and having no pads to touch the backbone, I have freedom to do anything. I have not finished the compound' yet, as I not only want the orifices closed, but made thoroughly strong, which: will be shortly now. Considering the size of the openings, and the short time I have used the Sherman Remedies, I think it simply marvellous, and as long aS I live I will do what I can to put all people who suffer from the trouble on to the Sherman Treatment, knowing that the benefit they will receive will causa them to tell others.” May 28, 1904. A manager of a large station in South--land writes: —“I am pleased to inform you that I have no further trouble since I cot your appliance in December last ( and I think the cure pretty well completed, though I have not yet gone for any length of time without the appliance. I have still a little of the curative compound left, and I am still applving it. I have done the HEAVIEST WORK this summer -with the GREATEST OF EASE, and I can assure vou that I am VERY GRATEFUL for Dr. Sherman’sappliance.”
