Sir, —As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio," has been the sole means of saving my life I think the least I Cm do is to h:ind you this testimonial, co that others suffering the same as myself may know that; (hero is a certttin reliable cure for them m " Webber's ViUdati;," if it i 3 ouly givtn a fair trial. Thee tnp'e facts of my ea?e are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatmentof doctors iv Fitzroy and JS*. Kilda, as well as some of the beat iv Ooliins street Some were of opinion that 1 was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give mo no relief, let alone cure me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever beiDg cured. But one day 1 noticed an advertised cure by " Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result sthi> much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. , Hy the time I hud taken eight bottles I w.ie i wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimj matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continned to vomh these "Hydatide" for some time, but atlastitdied away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I can honestly Btate I have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider <l Webber's Vitadatio " a miracle wot ker. I am well-known m Fitzroy, »nd there are many others just as much astonished at my cure as lam I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth o " Webber's Vitadaiio."
