Victoria Street, Petono, Nov. $2, '99. To Proprietors, PJaatekoa Remedies. Dear Sirs,—For ovet three years I have suffered from Hydatids aod Enlargement of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and after CBrt ful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time was very low, roy liver being, swollen to such an extent that the doctor outlined ib on the skin with a pencil I remained in the Hospital six months, most of the time confined to my bed, and although every attention was bestowed upon me by the doctors and others, I leffa that institution very lit*la improved In health. However, I resumed my usual occupation at the local Gasworks, bnfc shortly after was.compelled JO hy up again, ting tlm& with Jaundica in addition to my old complaint. You can readily understand my condition was awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. The feeling used to be of A sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals- No medicine I tried did me any permanent good, until I used your wondeiful PLANTEKOA. This medicine seemed to attack the disease almost at < nee, and after giving it a fair trial, it has fulfilled my highest expects* tions. The pain at the stomach is gone, my liver has resumed its natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and icy skin is now quite clear. My appetite is splendid, and I caa eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and comfort. I might also add to this note that while nslog Plantekoa, we gave some to our little girl, who had the chicken pox very badly. In con j one' tion with Plantekoa Ointment, a cure was soon brought about. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter. (Signed) Stewart Dttnbas Gobdoh.
