poisoned Terrible Feelings. Loss of Sleep. Impurities often accumulate in the blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of poisoning. The appetite is lost, digestion weak ened, and nerves exhausted. Mrs. P. Flynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and says: «' I used to have terrible feelings come over me. The doctors could do me no good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, ana I was a most miserable woman indeed. Having read of AVER'S I thought I -would try it. To my great sur prise, after talting only two bottles I found myself very much better ia every way. After taking six "bottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured." If your bowels are constipated, take Ayer's Pills. They are gentle and sure. They cure biliousness, dyspepsia, and sick headache. Take them with Ayer'* Sarsaparilla; one aids the other. FwfM* tf Hi.

Sir,—Aa X consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, "Vitadatio," hai been tbe sold means of saving my Hfe I think the least I can do is to hand yon this testimonial, co that others sintering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable cure for them I in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it ts only gives j a fair trial. The' 1 simple faoti of my ease are as follows:—For the past 10 years I hare been under the treatment of doctors mEitiroy and St. Kildn, as well as some of the belt in Collins street. Some were of opinion that I 1 waS suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rat* they oould give me no relief, let alone our* me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I, noticed an advertised oure by "WebbeirV I Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patie i being somewhat similar to my nwn,lthooah6 I would give it a trial, with the result "that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I bad taken eight bottle* I waa wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continued to vomit these "Hydatids" for some time, but at last It died away. This natumMy left me weak, butl continued with the •• Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day 1 can honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider "Webber's Vitadatio" a miraole-worker. I am well-known in Fidroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my ours as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the wor-th off' " Webber's VitadVio." You »ro at perfect) liberty to mako what use ynu like of this testimonial.
