Ac 0 h PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR f or L speedy relief, and radical cure of all 1 diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHETJMA TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLOREUX INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE* DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY, !' ■ ■ from vegetable remedies, whose healing -vir tueswere'revealed to him by the wise and learned men of India. The Proprietor carefully -watched andnojted the symptoms produced by these herbs, and eventually perfected the East-Indian Remedies, which he has administered with such Tin. varying success that thousands of persons, in all grades of society, have been radically cured jjl 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 yeai"s 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 j cured by these remedies, and are now living ' witnesses, of their healing virtues. ■. ii The Remedies differ from all other medi cines in this most important particular, they I don't iveaken the patient, undermine the eori' I stitittion, or introduce into the system those I mineral poisons so pernicious to the blood.— On the contrary, they relieve at once, finally 9 eradicate pain, subdue the torture of ■ : Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia,' and build up naturally the organs to func- I tional vigour. Melbourne, October 7, 1868. Mr Deae Sru, —In reply to your request, I I gratefully forward you a further certificate of the value of your medicine, in cases which I have fallen to my own knowledge. ■ | I have been suffering from Rheumatism I constantly for five years ; — the result of many I wet jackets in Hobson's Bay, before I put I myself under your treatment. In the history of that time there are all kirto I of horrible and some comical reminiscences. i Pailsful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; bathl I of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvanic I 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 1 of coin in making the trial of the above so- § called remedies; none of them, however, gave J me permanent relief; but yours, in a few: day I after I had taken it, destroyed the racking I pain aud gave a general tone to the health. I Many of my friends, especially the medical j ones, thought bad results would follow; but more than seven years have now gone by andl 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, ' •■ ■;,■■;.. ■ !■ :,: I JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, Government Shipping Master, From C P. lIACKETT, Esq., Police Magis trate, Melbourne. A widely-known bad , case. I Cured in about a fortnight. Police Office, Melbourne, January 25, 1867. '©SAB Sib, —Four years have now elapsed , since, at the instance of my friend Mr. John I Shillinglaw, (whom you had so miraculously ouxed of long-standing Rheumatism) I w* I induced to place myself in your hands, as I jj was at that time, as for two years previously, 1 in bad health. I liad at various times, many I of the leading medical men in Melbourne, and had also tried the effects of change of air in I New Zealand and Van Dienian's Land, but « without deriving any advantage; yet within I a fortnight of taking the first glass of your medicine I was thoroughly cured, and eifioe that time I have been free from any return of my ailments.
