_A Ot oTA Wars f/i) > "^^ Q>__ PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR fo* speedy relief, and radical cure of alb diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHim_l ft TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLOREW I INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCT DIARRHCEA AND DYSENTERY, j|> from vegetable remedies, whose healing va. I tues were revealed to him by the wise and **• leabned men of India. __________________ ' iSji The Proprietor carefully watched and note. the symptoms produced by these herbs, ai} If! eventually perfected the ■"* ■___ East-Indian Remedies, which he has administered with such ■__, I varying success that thousands of persons, ia all grades of society, have been radically cured ' of the above painful diseases, and have ... M pressed their grateful thanks in ardent lan. guage for the cure effected by these medicines, j Many hundi'eds of persons grevioush at H flicted by Rheumatism and Swollen Jmk_ 1 overcome by diseases, worn out with many Ij years of suffering, racked with pain, unable to H sleep by night, or work dui'ing the day—to ffl whom life was a burden, and from whom even _\ hope had departed, have been thoroughly Jt cured by these remedies, and are now living | witnesses of their heahng virtues. The Remedies differ from aU other mcdi- 1 cines in this most important particular, they H don't weaken the patienfc, undermine Vie m i stitution, or introduce into the system those R mineral poisons so pernicious to the blood,- On the contrary, they reheve at once, finely ■ eradicate pain, subdue the torture of Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia, and buUd up naturaUy the organs to fpn* H tional vigour. . -A W Melbourne, October 7, .1868, i My Dear Sib, —In reply to your request, I gratefuUy forward you a further certificate of the value of your medicine, in cases w.ll have fallen to my own knowledge, I have been suffering from Rheumatism constantly for five years ;—the result of maiij B wet jackets in Hobson's Bay, before I V& A myself under your treatment. In the history of that time there are all BOrb of horrible and some comical reminiscence!. Paihful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; bath; | of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvanic- Out of the one the patient came smelling like a lucifer match: out of another, stewedtj an uncommon Umpness, or quivering like ( galvanised frog. You may be sure that I spent a good deal of coin in making the trial of the above _* caUed remedies ; none of them, however, gave me permanent relief; but yours, in a few day. after I had taken it, destroyed the racljinjj pain aud gave a general tone to the health; 1 Many of my friends, especially the medical ones, thought bad results would foUow; 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 aU 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 C. P. HACKETT, Esq., Police Magis trate, Melbourne. A widely-known bad case. Cured in about a fortnight. - Police Office, Melbourne, January 25, 1867., i Deae Sib, —Eour 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 was I induced to place myself in your hands, as I was at that time, as for two years previously/ lin bad health. I had at various times, many of tho leading medical men in Melbourne, and A had also tried the effects of change of air in New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, bub ■ without deriving any advantage ; yet within M a fortnight of taking the first glass of yoU*K. medicine I was thoroughly cured, and since that time I have been free* from any roturn of my ailments.
