Medical jy-ONK’S NEW ZEALAND Herbal Remedies. DIARRHOEA., DYSENTERY, &0.. Completely conquered by Monk’s Herbal' - Extract (Registered), Price 2a €d and 4s per bottle. : The above “Extract” is one of the most marvellous discoveries of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never fail in chronic or acute cases* hovpsv6C )ijr> severe. The great properties of this medicine consist in its never producing costive*, ness, no matter how freely used, and its " being perfectly harmless and .purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea, Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest--eer-'J talnty. N!.-, TESTIMONIALS. Rangiora, July 7,1881. Sir,— Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to be skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, ‘ ” possessing the properties of the plaints from which it is derived in a highly pon-- 4 centrated state, a fact which I have ven-. fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On ! weighing the result,! a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14$ grains. On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large , number of cases of ordinary as ‘ - well as in many chronic cases and in dysentery, lhave proved it to possess greats. specific control, added to the unusual feature iu a majority of diarrhoea medi-. cines, that it does not subsequently con- .... stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that, from the number of trials I have been, enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modem therapeutics. The following cases are taken at tan* . dom from my note book ' ... ’ Case No. I—Mrs M :, West : Eyyo-- ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost r to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced eating .meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained ISlbs weight. Case No. 2—A G.; child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured . on third day. Case No, 3—A soldier who had oon tracted’dysentery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before finished half of it. > ):hx-i i (Signed) Charles DbLacy McCarthy, i M.A., M.B.,etc., Trinity College, Dublin.
