CANCER CURED. BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS- I TRICT. Fullest Imformatiou Sent on Application. Mr W. H.MBXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident m Nelaon street, Petone, has been ill for OVEE TWO YEARS, with CANCER IN THE BOWELS. First six months had constant craving for meat, had to have meat at meals at least twice a day. He says •. —"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me under chloroform for examination and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a shadow. After examination it was decided to send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growing for some time at the upper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling the lung of a sheep was passing I from me daily. 1 was m the Wellington 1 Hospital two months. Was operated on, , and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer, m the bowels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital m that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and m such a weak state they did not think I would reach home ftlive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The /local doctors were m regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing foi* me. As time went on the doctors ceased calling* telling my wife that my case was hopeless and they could do no more. I was worn away to a skeleton, and daily passing the matter above referred to. My wife then tried various remedies and patent medicines, bat there wag not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of Mends, I started taking PLANTEKOA, and it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I was almost giving it up m despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased, and I began to feel 1 stronger, the hard swelling had almost i disappeared, and I was able to get up and i about for a little. To the joy of my family and friends the improvement continued, .until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN i DID. Have been away during Easter to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, and have NOW RESUMED WOBK. I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CUBED ME. I shall be pleased to answer enquiries by letter or otherwise.—Yours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted m the Wellington Hospital, and I never ex pected to see him come out alive, and his present condition astonishes me, Signed, W. Shilling, Pilot, Wellington Harbour I Board. This is to certify that I conveyed Mr Mexfced to the hospital m the ambulance, I and two months later brought him home | again, and assisted to carry! him from the ambulance to his bed. Jas. Brocklehurst, ! general carrier, livery and bait stable keeper, Petone. Having been intimately acquainted with Mr Mexted for a long time I can certify to his serious illness and cure by PLANTEKOA.

Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial m favour of Boss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have I been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My i life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different j medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a ! gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and Ito my delight I began to get weU, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me m perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that sucii a medicine merits.
