PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR for L speedy relief, and radical cure of; all diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHEUMA TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLOREUX INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE' DIARRHCEA AND DYSENTERY, ' from vegetable remedies, whose healing vir tues were revealed to him by the wise and j learned men of India. _____ The Proprietor carefully watched and noted j the symptoms produced by these herbs, and i 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 paiD, unable to sleep by night, or 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 iveaken the patieMfc, undermine the con stitution, or introduce into the system those mineral poisons so pernicious to the blood.-r ! 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 1, ,1868. Mr Dear Sir, —In reply to your request, '] I gratefully forward you a further certificate o£- the value of your medicine, in cases which j have fallen to my own knowledge. I have been suffering from Rheumatism constantly for five yeai-s ; — the result of many wet jackets in Hobson'a Bay, before' I put myself under your treatment. In the history of that time there are all sorts ! of horrible and some comical reminiscences. 1 Pail-ful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; baths j of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvaiiio. 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. %"M You may be sure that I spent a good deal of coin in making the trial of the above so- I called remedies ; none of them, however, gave j; me permanent relief; but yours, in a few days I after I had taken it, destroyed the Acting j pain aud gave a general tone to the health, | Many of my friends, especially the medical j| ones, thought bad results would follow; but I more than seven years have now gone by alii* I have had no relapse. I have since'sent scores of people to you of I all classes, and have never heard of your fail- | ing to relieve them. Accept tcy congratulations that you liav« j. successfully established the value of the niedi- | cines, despite all obstacles.—Yours very faith- I fully, .11 JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, Government Shipping Master From C. P. HACKETT, Esqi, Police .''s«& f I : . trate, Melbourne. A widely-knoWnbai 1 case. Cured in about a fortnight.I', Police Office, Melbourne, January 25,1867. ■ I Dear Sir, —Four years have nbw'elapseU f since, at the instance of my friend Mr. John I Shillinglaw, (whom you had so miraculously jj cured of long-standing Rheumatism) ' I *«: | induced to place myself in your hands, asl was at that time, as for two years previously) in 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 i within* I a fortnight of taking the first glass of yoW | medicine I was thoroughly cured, and since: | that time I have been free from any return of | my ailments. 0.
