"Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, 1876.—Sir,— Having been much benefitted by the use ot 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 been using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Ophelia Bennett." , ~,,., IQ. -"Port Chalmers, New 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 torture of severe Rheumatism, such as 1 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 tho pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and f'oendmyself getting better after taking three bottles of it. I continued taking the medicine for about six weeks, and became perl'cctlv restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rneuma tism.

I am happy to state that I am now free from the pains 1 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."
