We clip the following important testimo jiial from the " Illawarra Mercury" (N.S.W. of the 30th March. It needs no comment :— " Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountains writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Euealyptic Extract. He says :—" Seeing the said Extract advertised m the * Illawarra Mefccury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosjdng, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. ~ He states that between 10th March inst., wlien he obtained the first bottle of tli« extract, and the 19th, the use of that Medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday Writes also that he has found the Hncalypti Extract h cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the' Mercury.' We have much pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday's reqneat, whose word cannot; be doubted, and who can liave no object m view »ther than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity.
