'PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR for IT speedy relief, and radical cure of all diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHEtJMi TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLOREUX INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE DIARRHCEA AND DYSENTERY, from vegetable remedies, whose healing vii> * tues 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 Buch <tini/'';ft: varying succeßS that thousands of person*,; ia«'« all grades of society, have been radically cvuSeflt 1!. of the above painful diseases, and hare' Ja>-C!I pressed their grateful thanks in ardent lan guage for the cure effected by these medicines. Many hundreds of persons greviously afr/' 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.frto whom life was a burden, and from whom, eves) hope had departed, have been thoroughly;; cured by these remedies, and. are now living/ witnesses of their healing virtues. : . fftrffi The Remedies differ from all other mcdi*.'. cines in this most impovtant particular, they f don't weaken the patient, undermine the eon*{ 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 Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia,; .Jill and build up naturally the organs to futtO^ tional vigour. . ■ vjl} Melbourne, October *7, 1868. )L My Deab Sic,- —In reply to your requesvj I gratefully forward you a further certificate of the value of your medicine, in caseß wliiclK have fallen to my own knowledge. I have been suffering from Rheumataffln" constantly for five years ; — the result of mwiy r > wet jackets in Hobson's Bay, before I j)ui,, myself under your treatment. / ■ . v In the history of that time there are all sort*, of horrible and some comical reminiscences/ Pailtful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; lathi of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvaujflir. Out of the one the patient came smelliii|.;.v like a lucifer match: out of another, stewed to |, an uncommon limpness, or quivering like * T galvanised frog. ■• '• - ; ± , You may be sui-e that I spent a good &w" 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 and 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* 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 tcy congratulations that you hay«? successfully established the value of the mcdi* cines, despite all obstacles.—Yours very faith* ;4 fully, ! , , v rjM JOHN J. SHIIMNGLAW, v!M« Government Shipping Masters ■'iit! From C. P. HACKETT, Esq., Police Mads- { trate, Melbourne. A widely-knonrtibatt^jj case. Cured in about a fortnight. f |/,,,,, Police Office, Melbourne, January 25,* 186/ i,j Deab Sib,—Four years have now elapse^ , since, at the instance of my friend Miy Jom;_ Shillinglaw, (whom you had so niiraculpuw ~[ cured of long-standing Rheumatism) |I,?ci,[i induced to place myself in your hands, ail was at that time, as for two years previously. ,+ in bad health. I had at various times, manjf J 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 w# IW. a fortnight of taking the first glass of your _ medicine I was thoroughly cured, and Bin* that time I have been free from any return ot my ailments. __, ,"i C.
