RichmondStr.et, Prton-, September 28,1899 The Proprietors of " I'laotekoa.' Sirs, —For some time past I have been a martyr to Indigestion, Chronic Liver Trouble, B _d General Debility. For day. at a time I used to bo in agony with pain in I the region of the stomach, and sll the medicines 1 tried gave me co relief. I .was attended by tho doctt r for .orrie time, with no permanent result. Being advised to take your Romanic Remedy, I am pleased io say I acted on this advice, and One Bottle has made a complete change in me. My friends (the doctor included) are all remark ing about the wonderful improvement in my appearance, and I coin honestly recommend Plantekoa to all who suffer as I have done. Yours sincerely, , MRS J. SMITH.

Dear Sirs,—l am writing to inform you that I have used your Plantekoa Ointment with moßt gratifying results. About five months ago I had the misfortune to get my hand caught in tho door of the guard's van at the Lower Hutt Railway Station. My thumb was badly crushed, and iv a few hours it was terribly swollen and as black aa my hat. Seme of my friends stated that it l wculd be necessary to have my thumb taken ' off, and I ».houg'ib rryeelf that I would require surgical aid. Having your Plartf koa Ointment in the House (wa always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days. Tbe result was astoundiog I_ a fortnight ib was ccmpletely healed, and aa sound as ib was before tho accident. It is with pleasure I send ycut this nOto that oilier er.flerers may be induced to try Plantekoa. Yours truly, WILLIAM WHITTINGTON Ask your Chete.ist or Storekeeper fr.r it.
