Woods' Great Peppermint Cure for Cough* and Colds never fails—la 6d and 2a 6d



46 -tt IT AD ATIO I THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREAT TRIO MPH OVER I •• HYDATIDS." A grateful Patient gives unsolicited unc valuable testimony to the efficacy o this great Herbal Kerned y. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingston et., St. Kitda, Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke et. Sir, —As I oonsider Webbera' Ureat Herbs Remsdy, '• Vitadatio," has been the sol means of saving my life I think the least can do is to hand you this testimonial, so tha others suffering the same as myself may knoi that there is a certain reliable cure tut ther in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only givei a fair trial. The simple facts of my cas are as follows:—For the past 10years I hay been under the treatment©! doctors in Fits-o; and St. Kilda, as well as some of the bestii Collins etreeb. Some were of opinion that was suffering from consumption, while others stated it was pleurisy, At any rat they could give me no relief, let alone cur me. You can easily imagine that I had littl hope of ever being cured. But one day [ noticed an advertised cure by " Webber' Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patien I being somewhat similar to my own, Ithough I would give it a trial, with the result 'thai much taking only two large bottles, I fell after better, and continued the medicine, By the time I had taken eight bottles I wai wonderfully recovered, but one day tool very ill, and vomited up a lob of slimj matter, which was afterwards examined bj the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. ] continned to vomib these "Hydatida" foi some time, but at last it died away. Thii naturally left me weak, but I continued witfc the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, unti) to-day I can honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio " c miracle-worker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are many others juai) as much astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth o " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfec liberty to make what use you like of thi testimonial. I may add I am now able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, M«) OARRI3 HOOKING
