Jamiesox." " Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, 1876.—Sir,— Having been much benentted by the use of your Indian Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony as to its efficacy, and can recom mend others to try it. Some of my friends, who have also bee°h- using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received, much benefit from theiruse.—(Signed), Ophelia Bennett." "Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your Ghpl 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 torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine I beg to state that I 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 the pains through out my iiinbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself 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 we)V at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." "Dunedin, 10th July, 187 C—Sir, —I have plea sure in stating, for the benefit o£ others, that I have derived the most unexpected good results from the use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture. T 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 1 am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep wall 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." ••. Tr . "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! 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 Griff-en-, J' p«" _____ These invaluable Medicines are to he had throughout New Zealand, and in Arucklana of all Chemists and respectable Medicine Vendors.
