fe«» TT IT A D A T I O THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRE4T TRIUMPH OVER •• HYDATIDS "Tj A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the tfficaoy of this pteah Herbal RpmHy. Bead carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingeton et., St. kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke et Sir, —As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vifcadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand you this testimonial, so that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable cure for them Jn " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of mv case are as follows: —For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatmentof doctors in Fitzroy and St. Kilda, aa well as some of the beet in Collins street Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure me. You oan easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an aflv<rtised 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 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had tjiken eight bottles I w»s wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited op a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and prononnced to be Hyilatids. I continned to vomit thf*Be "Hydatids" for some time, but at last it died away This j naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, unti! to-day I stan honestly state I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider *'Webber's Vitadatio " a miraole-wotker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my cure aa I am. I shall be pleased to Bpeak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfect liberty to make what use you like of this 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.—YourH very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witness—G IS Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MBWOINK.
