' ' ■ • 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 cer tainty. TESTIMONIALS. Bangiora, July 7, 1881. ■> Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to be ■&> I skilfully prepared vegetable preparation,- i possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass oyer a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14J grains. On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many chronic cases and ip dysentery, Ihave proved it to possess great specific control, added' to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that, from the number of trials Ihave been enabled to -make of- it in a somewhat ex tensive practice,; it ;is .a jnOst valuable addition to modern therapeutics. ; The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book:—■ | Case No. I—Mrs M-e——, West' Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her.almost to a-skeleton.' After a fortnight’s trial riot only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 181bs weight. Case No. 2—AG., child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. : Case No, 3—A soldier who had con traoted'dysentery in India got a small : two ounce phial,, and was well before he had finished half of it.
