Boyd who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard in the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hcursfor nine or ten days it was out of all danger. I would persu&de al who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am convinced that they will find is •hejmost wonderful of medicines.—Youis, etc^E J.
