Oust, September 8, 1890. Mr Wallse'. Sir,- I have greit pleasure m testifying to the wonderf ol cure effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cdke. I had suffered for three years, and epent a good deal m doctors and medicines, but got no relief. I was obliged to walk with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopes of ever getting better. I was unable to bend my knee, suffering great pain, which made me sometimes faint. I got one hnttle of the LONDON RHEUMA'IIC CURE, and the firet rubbing gave me such relief tbat I could leap for joy, and the day following I wa able to walk without my stick and go sbou my work as usual. Ob, such a change ! I was Buffering also with my wrists and hands, and was unable to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and can now do my sewing, knitting, and bouse work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors are astonißhed at me, and I advise them all to use the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE for all their oomplaints. You can use this as you please, Mks Andbew Gabdneb. Sefton, October 21, 1890 I hereby bear testimony to the great relief I got by using the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE. I was suffering terrible pain mmy shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me from working and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have m their possession. I naver had its equal, P. Bebbymin. Spiingbank, Moeraki, Marob. 5, 1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I thiDk it right to add my testimony to the wonderful cffeotß the LONBON RHEUMATIC CURE. I bave sufftre d with chilblains for years. I tried everything, but never got be ter. I tried the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and three rubbings completely cured me. i. am thank ful there is snoh a remedy, I advise every one to always have it m their house. You oan make this public if you wish. Fbedi^ Mitchell. Doylestfln, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is marvellous. I had a very sore back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of which have been completely cured by its use. I have also cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, spraine, chilblains and sore I throats. It has no equal; everyone should use it. Mrs McCausland. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker. Dear Sir,—l can testify to i the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CURE. 1 was suffering I badly with rheumatics m my hands and wiistd ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Cura, ; and am thankful to tell you they are quite better. Tbowas Clanoey AshburtoD, Oitober, 1893. i Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to be praieed. I tock rheu matio fever and was a good while m the j hands of the doctors; at last it seemed alt to lodge mmy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutoh and stiok. The dootor at last advised me to go to Christchuroh and get the fool taken off, which I objected to do. I got varj disheartened, aB there seemed no oura fo> me. I beard of the LONDON RHEUMATJC CURE, and got one bottle, and before i; waf done I was able to iay aside my sticks and U | resume business, and have ba,d no trouble Bince. It la a veluahle remedy. I oan highlj recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. MACPHER3ON.

The late Mr Stocks was about fifty-seven years of age, and a native of Huddersfield, Yorkshire. He came to the colony about thirty-six yeaxvs ago, and for a time was engaged m the contracting and building business m Dune din. About twenty-three years ago he came to Christchuroh where he has resided ever since. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss.
