kfc TT ITADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRB&T TRIUMPH OVE " HYDATIUS." A grateful, Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this preab Herbal HpmHv. Read carefully aud investigate for I yourself. j 29 Packiugßton st., St. kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke at. Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, '«Vitadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least J can do ie to hand you this testimonial, so that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable cure for them m '• Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been nnder the treatment of doctors in <-Fitz?oy and St. Kilda, as well as some of the best m 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 can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. Bub one day I 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 mult 'that much taking only two large bnttlew, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had Uken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, bub one day took very il), and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continned to vomit these " Hydatids " for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I can honestly state I have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio " a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much aßtonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of *' Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perliot liberty to make what use you like of t;hi§ testimonial, 1 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, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witness—G E Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE. Vitadatio sold everywhere, 5s 6d and 3a 6d Head Office for N.Z.-39 Ma tineas Street, Wellington. Ask your Chemist or Grocer fo it.
