Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke st. Sir, —As I consider Webbers' Great- Herbal Bemotiy, "Vitadatio." lias been tho sold means of saving my \'J. T Vhink tho least * j can do is to hand you Jt;: iitif irnonial, so that < others Buffering t-h© same as my^li may know ! that there is n certain r^iiaMe euro for ihem in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given » fair trial. The simple fact* of my case are ns follows:—For the past 10 years I have been under thetreafmentof doctors in Fitzroy and St. Kilda., as well as some of the beat in Collins street. Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others afcated 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. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber'r Vitadatio," and.the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my wn, [thought I would give it a trial, with the result H.h v much raking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken night bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continued to vomib thsse "Hydatids" for «otne time, but at last it died away This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the " Vitadafcio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day 1 dan honestly state I h»vo never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are 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 perfeot liberty to make what use you like of this testimonial, I may add I am now able to do ail my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, Mrß) CARRIE HOCKING WifeneßS—G E Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
