Mrs. George Mitchell, of Yuille St., JBuninyong, Victoria, send us her pho» tograph -with the following story: " I suffered terribly from general debility. " I had no energy. I was tirea m the morning as at night. It did not seem possible for me to keep up. I was thin and pale and my blood was very poor. I had no appetite. I gradually grew weaker and weaker, when almost com pletely exhausted I read about ' AVER'S I Sarsaparia I immediately tried it and began to improve at once. A few bottles completely restored me to health." You cannot get the best results from Ayer's Sarsaparilla if your bowels are constipated.

hfc'-rir IT A D A T I O " THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GRHJAT TRIUMPH OVK. "HYDVinW A grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the tffioacy of this pieat Herbal Kf-mHy Read carefully &tid investigate for ! yourself. 29 Packing&ton sf., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Itißtiluie, Bourke et. Sir, —As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio," has been the Bold means of saving my life I think the least I can do is to baud you this testimonial, co that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is a certain reliable cure for them i 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 under the treatment of doctors m Fitsroy 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 pieuriay. 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. But 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 result 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, bub one day took very ill, and vcmitod up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to bs Hydatids. I continoed to vomit those "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 boueßtly 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 ate many others just as much astonished 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 perfeob liberty to make what me you like of this testimonial. I may add I am now ebb to do ail 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.
