Prospective patients should understand. that Mr. Martin is exceedingly jvcU-versed in the subject of rupture and its cure, and his'visit affords an opportunity to sufferers to secure relief, .which tiiey should on no account, allow to pass unattended.

The truss does not cure; operations, are speculative and risky, and. 111 a number of cases trasses iiavo to he resorted to afterwards. The long list of cures of hernia, including, quite a. number now serving in tlio'Expeditionary Forces, is quite sufficient to ;p'rove the, fallacy so persistently preached,that a surgical operation is tlio' only means of cure. ■ The Sherman method lias cured after one. two, three, and fivo operations have failed.
