Debility Neuralgia, Biliousness. When the nerves are weak there is no telling what may happen. You are tired all the time, depressed, restless, and suffer greatly with headache, back ache, neuralgia, and general discom fort. But there is a cure, as Mr. J. Elliott, of West Perth, W. A., well knows. He sends us his portrait, and says: "For many years I suffered greatly with neuralgia in my head and also with bijious ness. 1 had tried many kinds of inedicinea but without help. I then tried AVER'S Sapsapariua Two bottles made such a difference in my feel ings that I was greatly surprised. My genera! health improved at once, my nerves were stronger, my headache disappeared, and my severe attacks of biliousness were cured. Constipation alone will often cause biliousness, neuralgia, and sick head ache. Ayer's Pills are a safe and sure cure for all liver troubles. And they cure dyspepsia also. Pretand by Dr. J. C.

»»fc tt: IT ADA T I O THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH OVER " HYDATIDS "} A grateful Patient gives unsolicited Rod valuable testimony to the efficacy of this fteat Herbal RonoHv. Eead carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Paokingeton rt., Sto Kilds. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bonrke et Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Ureat Herbal Remedy, "Vitadatio," has been the sold means of saving my life I think the least X c*n do 'n to havd you this testimonial, to that others suffering the same as my«e!f may know ,' that there is a certain reliable cure for them in " Webber'B Vitadatio," if ib is only given a fair trial. The s mp'e facts of my c»> c are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreatmentofdoators in Fittroy and vS(. Kilda, as well as some of the best"in Collins street Some were of opinion that I was suffering f.-om consumption, wiJlst 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 betDg ourtd. But r.ne day I noticed an ady-rtieed cure by "Webber'* Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient ! being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I I would give it a trial, with the result 'thafi much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued ths medicine. Hy the time I hnd taken eight bottles I wa« wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vcmited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by I the doctor, and pronounced to be Fy'atide. I continued to vomit these " Hydalids" for j seme time, bub at last it died sway Thi« I naturally left rre weak, but I continued with j the "Vitadatio," and gradually tny etrength | returned, until 10-d&y I can horiestjy state I I have never felt better in the who'e of my i Jiff. I consider " Wibbfir'a Vitadafjo" a mirae'e woiker. I am well-known in Filgroy, j ftcd thcr« are maty others jan us much ostonished nt my cure as lam I »hali be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own txpsriecce of the worth of ■ " Webber'6 Vitada'io."
