CONVERTING A BURGLAR.

CAPTAIN MARY BOOTH'S METHOD. • •London/May 21. Captain Mary Booth, a daughter of the Commander-in-Chief of the Salvation 'Army, had a, remarkable udventure with >a burglar who broke into her houso at Clapham last night. When she discovered tin? man in her ■bedroom she, instead of calling in the police, talked very seriously to him about his wickedness. Learning from him that he had been driven to crime by hunger, sho took him to the kitchen and gave him a good meal. They afterwards .knelt down and prayed together. , • ■ ■ Captain Booth th'?n saw the man off the premises, promising before _ho left that she would bo a friend to him if ho made up his mind to lead a better life.— Sy'dnsy "Sun." In some myptejious and unexplained ■way, the condition of Itupture implies loss of vitality and vigour, both physical and mental. Photos of patients previous to taking the treatment usually exhibit faces in which the chief characteristic is often that of dullness nnd anxiety, ivhilo photos of the samo person after cure show a bright and happy- countenance. This exhibits more clearly than could any "more words" tho profound nervous degression induced by Hernia. To struggle T - * with an old-fnshioned truss (all trusses are now more than old-fashioned, they aro entirely out of fashion) is little different than a form of slow suicide, nnd in anv event is little better in the advanced and chronic stages of the affliction than a sort of living death. Such a condition of things is quite unnecessary, for the highest medical authorities liav« again and again condemned the as an antiquated instrument of Sorture, and cast their vote unb«""-' , .ngiy in favour ' of tho Dr. J- ■' Carman treatment. I, All in regard to f his parmethod of treatment will be furbished free to any 'sufferer. An interesting booklet on Rupture and its treatment can be had for the asking. Mr. A. W. Martin, tho Sole Controller of this method in Australasia, is at present at the Hotel Cecil, 'and"may be consulted] freo ud to tho 4th. 1 of: Jtmfl.—Advti^
