PREPARED by the PROPRIETOR f w 1 speedy relief, and radical cure of all diseases, of the LIVER, GOUT, SCIATICA, RHEUMA TISM, NEURALGIA, TICDOLORETJX INDIGESTION, AND FLATULENCE DIARRHCEA AND DYSENTERY, ' from vegetable remedies, whose healing yin tues were revealed to him by the WISE and learned 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 Jointt, overcome by diseases, worn out with many years of suffering, racked with pain, 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 inedi« j cines in this most important particular, they don't weaken the patient;, undermine, tlie eon slitution, or introduce into the system those mineral poisons so pernicious to tho blood.— j| On the contrary, they relieve at once, finally ii| eradicate pain, subdue the torture of V, Jtheumalism, Sciatica, and Neuralgia, j|j and build up naturally the organs to funo- if tioual vigour. , i! Melbourne, October 7, 1868. My Deab Sir, —In reply to your request, H I gratefully forward you a further certificate 9 of the value of your medicine, in cases ■which it have fallen to my own knowledge. I have been suffering from Rheumatism flj 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 sorti I j of horrible and some comical reminiscences. I Pail=ful of medicine ; baths of sulphur; batlh: i of brine ; baths medicated; and baths galvanic. 1 Out of the one the patient came smelling ',■ like a lucifer match: out of another, stewed to an uncommon limpness, or quivering liie & galvanised frog. i '» ' 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 yours, 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 j 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 my congratulations that you kav« successfully established the value of thu medi cines, despite all obstacles. —Yours very faith- JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, ... Government Shipping Master. From C. P. HACKETT, Esq., Police Magis' trate, Melbourne. A widely-knownbad case. Cured in about a fortnight. ; Polico Office, Melbourne, January 25,1867. ~ Dear Sib, —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 WM 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, many of the leading medical men in Melbourne, and had also tried the effects of change of air W New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, but without deriving any advantage; yet mtbiß a fortnight of taking the first glass of your medicine I was thoroughly cured, and eiuw that time I have been free from any return ol my ailments. mm C.
