Jamieson." "Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, 1876.—Sir,— Having been much benefltted by the use of your Indian~Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony as to its elficacy, 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 Bensktt." "Port Chalmers, Now Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. -Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your Ghol lah'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 tortui-e of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine 1 beg to state that I had been sulfering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism J.biipver two years. I could not rest at night. /3Jy "appetite "was gone, my general health shatlerfcd* andth.3 pains through out my limbs and loiriswete constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu tfi&tism Mixture, and foundmyself getting better after taking three bottles of it. I continued 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. WILLIAMS." "Dunedin, 10th July, 1876.- Sir, —Ihave plea sure in stating, for the benefit of others, that I have derived the most unexpected good results from the use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture. 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. Pickett." "Dunedin, 31st August, 1876.—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 vise of your invaluable medicine.

pOMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. Gas Stoves. £ COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for the Cottage, Mansion, or.Hotel. The superior flavour, the retention of the animal juices in the Meat, and the prevention of waste, are plainly shown on the first trial. The loss of weight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of the com mon modes of Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds losesjfnever less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or four pounds in an Oven, the loss by the Gas Roaster is only one pound. If you have common sense, buy one. If you want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ing, Stewing, or Frying, from 3s.
