% ? PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR!" speedy relief, and radica cure of« I diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHEUMA, TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLORiTJY INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE' DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY, ' from vegetable remedies, whose healing vir tues were revealed to him by the wise and learned men of India. The Proprietor carefully watched and notei the symptoms produced by these herbs, and eventually perfected the East-Indian Remedies, ■■■,•' A which he has administered with suoh un varying success that thousands of persons,, it*! all grades of society, have been radically cured of the above painful diseases, and hare ex pressed their grateful thanks in ardent Ian?! guage for the cure effected by these medicine*. Many hundreds of persons greviously af flicted by Rheumatism and Swollen Joints, overcome by diseases, worn out with many years of suffering, racked with pain, unable to sleep by night, or/work during the day—to : whom life was a burden, and from whom even hope had departed, have been thoroughly cured by these remedies, and are now living witnesses of their healing virtues. The Remedies differ from all other mfldi* 1 cines in this most important particular, they don't weaken the patient, undermine tlie em. stitution, or introduce into the system those mineral poisons so pernicious to the blood.— On the contrary, they relieve at once, finally eradicate pain, subdue the torture of ARlieumalism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia, ;* and build up naturally the organs to func tional vigour. Melbourne, October 7, 1868. My Dear Sib, —In reply to your request, I gratefully forward you a further certificate of the value of your medicine, in cases which have fallen to my own knowledge. I have been suffering from Rheumatism constantly for five years ; — the result of many wet jackets in Hobson's Bay, before I put myself under your treatment. In the history of that time there are all sorta of horrible and some comical reminiscences. PaiLful of medicine ,- baths of sulphur; baths of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvanic. Out of the one the patient came Bmelling like a lucifer match •• out of another, stewed to an uncommon limpness, or quivering like a galvanised frog. You may be sure that I spent a good deal of coin in making the trial of the above so called remedies ; none of them, however, gave me permanent relief; but yours, in a few days after I had taken it, destroyed the racking pain aud gave a general tone to the health. Many of my friends, especially the medical ones, thought bad results would follow; but . more than seven years have now gone by and I have had no relapse. I have since sent Scores of people to you Of all classes, and have never heard of your fail ing to relieve them. Accept my congratulations that you have successfully established the value of the medi cines, despite all obstacles.—Yours very faith fully, JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, Government Shipping Master. From 0. P. HACKETT, Esq., Police Magis trate, Melbourne. A widely-known bad case. Cured in about a fortnight. Police Ofliee, Melbourne, January 25, 1867. Dear Sir, —Four years have now elapsed since, at the instance of my friend Mr. John * Shillinglaw, (whom you had so miraculously cured of long-standing Rheumatism) I waa induced to place myself in your hands, as I was at that time, as for two years previously, i__ bad health. I had at various times,* many of the leading medical men in Melbourne, and had also tried the effects of change of air in New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, but without deriving any advantage; yet within a fortnight of taking the first glass of your medicine I was thoroughly cured, and since that time I have been free from any return of my ailments. 5 0.
