jna jj3mi33inirrrraiff""K* Mg*;ffiMa;"*^Ba:g^ i\ CANCER CUREdT BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS- \ TRICT. ' Fullest Information Sent on Application. Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con " tractor, resident in Nelson street, Petone, has been ill for OVER 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 examinntion and operation. Placed on milk didt 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 from me daily. 1 was in the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer in the bowels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital in that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and in such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were in regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing for 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 tho matter above referred to. My wife then tried various remedies and patent medicines, but there wa3 not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 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 in despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased, and I began to feel stronger, the hard swelling had almost < disappeared,,and I was able to get up and/ about for a little. To the joy of my family and friends the improvement continued, until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN DID. Have been away during Easter to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, and have NOW RESUMED WORK. I consider that PL ANTE KO A has COM PLETELY CURED 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 in 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 Board. This is to certify that I conveyed Mr Mexted to the hospital in the ambulance, . and two months later brought him home again, and assisted to carryl 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. George S. Chandler, Farrier, Petone. Sufferers Everywhere, PLANTEKOA is the. Most Powerful Herbal Remedy ever discovered, and if persevered with CURES IN EVERY CASE. Obtainable from Leading Chemists, Herbalists and Storekeepers. JACKSON, Herbalist, Agent.

J. by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself :— | Masterton, August 28,1901. Eoss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Eoss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My ! life was a perfect misery, and I was almost j a wreck. I grew tired of trying different ! medical men and remedies, of which I had I tried almost every known one but yours I and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was I employed. He remarked " Jack, you look I 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 to my delight I began to get well, and I 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 in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. : Saw* c New Venur ■.
