We hope yoi will deem the subject of sufficient importanct to afford this letter a space in your valuahli paper,—Yours truly, SANDER & SONS. Bridge-street, Sandhurst, July, 1880. I-TVEROARGILL. N.Z,, Bth fULY [1880. Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. Gentlemen,—Having suffered from eozemt (a skin disease whioh is very prevalent in thii oolony) for about nine years, I had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia and had taken araenic, strychnine, iodide o potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In foe I had tried all the remedies known to thi faculty, and what between travelling doctort and drugglatß' bills, had spent a Bmall fortune almoßt if not wholly without results, except t( injure my constitution. During a reosnt visi to Hokitika I was recommended to try youi Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brothei who had experienced great benefit frora it it alleviating a very severe cold, and, no less to mj Biv prise than satisfaction, I found the dweasf which had troubled me so long was conquered and tho skin resumed its normal condition 1 his was effected by the external use of lcsi than two one-ounco bottles. You aie welcome to mako any use you pleaet ot ihis letter, and I subsoribo myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H.
