Jamiesox." .___ „. "Pier Hotel, Eranedln, 28th Mny, 1878.-M3ir,— Having been ranoh bonefltted by the use Or your Indian Medicine, I hare great ploacuro in adding my testimony as to its efficacy, and can recom mend others to try it. Some of my friends, who havo also been using thc3o medicine*, speak very favourably of them, and havo rccoivcd much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Ophelia BICNN KTT."

Sir,—l think it my duty to State that your Ghol i lah's Rheumatism Mixture has prorod In my ca?o to be all that you havo represented it to bo ; and for the sake of those vrho may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine I beg to state that I had been sullering 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 the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting bettor after taking three bottles of it. I continued taking tho 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. Williams.

I had been suffering from very severe rheumatic attacks for about 15 years, accompanied by most agonising pains in my limbs and loins, through which my rest, was much disturbed at night, my appetite very imperfect, and my general health altogether impaired. 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 and general health are 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. Pickbtt." . "Dunedin, 31st August, 187 C—Sir,—Having taken your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixture for some considerable time, and having been com pletely cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten years, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. 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 I 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 Gkifd'KN, J.P."
