In proof that this is my way of thinking, I point to the business I am now engaged in building up, which, thanks to the, public of Ashburton and surrouhdihfg districts, bids fair to be of a substantial character.

Those Buf feting from that 'disfressing complaint— bronchitis —are theroniy: bnes that can form any idea of it. However, to make, the matter short,' I ha^e 1 had ' the’best, advice to be obtained, both here and in-' Cornwall, England, without any beneficial result. When at about ths lowest ebb, a friend called my attention to Mr Wallis’ advertisement,in Star. I called on that gentleman, 'stated my case; His answer was—“ I can’t cure you, but can : do you a'tmrld of good.” He attended me for a week ; the result astounded me,; within two days he gaye me more relief than All the drugs, I have taken during half a life-time. Although Mr ~Wallis told me lie couldn’t'ciire me, yet jVhave «. been at work three months in splendid i; health, and still feel first rate. The only ■ apology I can offer you, is that the hun i. dreds suffering from the same complaint I ' may get relief as I did.—Yours, etc., > Johnson Thomas. Aldred street, Christchurch. 3 (Copy.) Christchurch, Feb; 14th, 1881. To S. Wallis, Esq., Hydropathist. Sir, —I write the following-hoping you will publish it for the benefit of the public. Some four years: ago my wife was taken suddenly ill. I called in a, doctor, : who i: at - once pronounced it rheumatic fever. He attended her for a ,ah,ort tiraJfejj and:then gavb up the case. What to do’ I did not know. My wife was screaming with pain, which with ,lightniqg rapidity passed from one part of the body to another, and the doctor having left us to.shift for ourselves. In dur last extremity, , when death seemed inevitable, .Mr Denham, coach .builder, : advised' me to apply to you ; and if ever ,a human being was snatched from the ;jaws of death, my wife . was on that occasion. Although ypu only took a fortnight to . cure her, : you thoroughly feradicated the<disease;.root.and branch. 1 remain, yours ever: obliged,' . d John Herbert, . ~ MaflfeF Butcher: South Town Belt,.

To Mr Wallis, Water Doctor. . Sir,— I had intended long ago to write and inform you that the wonderful ( cure you effected for me five years since was a permanent one, for since, that time I have j hot lost a ; daiy’s work through ill health. ‘ ’ You will reihemlier How for months I had gone' almost daily to a surgeon with the ushdl result (viz., getting worse), the paid in my head ’so severe t as to almost drive me out of my tniiid. As a last resource I was just about going to the hospital, when I heard'of you ; fortunately for me I did not go to that institution, for at that time . a young man suffering from the same complaint was admitted there. A seton : was put in at the back of the neck. That, with other so called medical, treatment, ; very soon affected his eyesight, so much so that when I saw him he was unable to !distinguish one cplor from another. In conclusion, sir, I would say facts are stubborn things.
