Jamiesox." "Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, IS76.—Sir,— Having been much benefltted by the use of your Indian"Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding ray testimony as to its efficacy, and can recom mend others to try it. Some of my friends, who have also been using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Ophelia Bkxnbtt." "Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1870. Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your G hol lar's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my case to be all that you have represented it to be ; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine 1 beg to state that 1 had been suffering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and tho pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to fry your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting bet!or after taking three bottles of it. I continue!! taking the '"medicine for about six weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred.

I am happy to state that ; I am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite arid general health arc much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties. This happy change has been brought about by the use of your Rheumatism Mixture for about two months.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully.— (Signed), S. Pickett." .

I am now free from all pain, and well in my health, and have the free use of my hands and feet, which I had not previous to taking your medicine. I think it right to state, for the bene fit of others suffering the tortures that I endured for the period above stated, that 1 attribute my restoration to health and freedom from pain entirely to the use of your invaluable medicine, I can strongly recommend it those suffering from rheumatism or gout.—(Signed), John Griffen, J.P."
