PREPARED by tlie PROPRIETOR for X speedy relief, and radical cure of all j diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHETTMA • TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLOREUX INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE DIARRHO3A AND DYSENTERY, from vegetable remedies, whose healing vir tvies -were revealed to him by the "WISE and leabned men of India. The Proprietor carefully -watched and noted the symptoms produced by these herbs, and eventually perfected the East-Indian Remedies, which he has administered with such un varying success that thousands of persons, in all grades of society, have been radically cured of the above painful diseases, and have ex pressed their grateful thanks in ardent lan guage for the cure effected by these medicines. 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 medi cines in this most important particular, they don't weaken the patienfc, undermine the eoti' stitntion, 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 Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia, and build up naturally the organs to func tional vigour. Melbourne, October 7, 1868. Mr Deae 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 sorts of horrible and some comical reminiscences. Pailsful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; baths of brine ; baths medicated ; and baths galvanic. Out of the one the patient came smelling 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 pours, 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 icy congratulations that you hay» successfully established the value of the medi dues, despite all obstacles.—Yours very faith fully, J 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. Deae Sic, —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 was induced to place myself in your hands, as I was at that time, as for two years previously, in bad health. I had at various times, many of the leading medical meu 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.
