I have been an outdoor patient in the Hospi tal ; I got at times temporary, relief. I could not sleep on my left side; I kept. rolling about backwards and. forwards in bed. When I got up in the morning, I would rather be in bed but work, I had to attend to. When I had eateii a light meal I found it always lodged in my stomach. Always costive, a great palpi tation, pains across the chest, more particu larly under the left breast, always a violent pain between the shoulders, felt just the same as if any one was pouring water down my back, feet always cold. , Happened to get one of 'your bills when you came to St. Asaph street; which explained to me the symptoms I was laboring under. When I applied te you, you told me all my symptoms, and guaranteed me a perfect cure, which, I am happy to say, you have done through your herbal treatment.

I came to Christchnrch, and tried doctors of the best j medical repute, and got no better. ; Thinking that it was useless, to go any further i I gave up all hopes of being restored ; I could scarcely walk, and staying at an old friend’s, he advised me to consult you, and T am-happy to say I am in as perfect health as i was in 1864, when I crossed the ranges of the West Coast, and was only ten days under your treatment.
