N.Z., Bth July 1880. ■ Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. Gentlemen,— Having suffered, from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in this colony) for about nine years, I had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken areenlo, strychnine, iodide, of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pro >arations of zinc and lead externally. In fact had tried all the remedies known to tho faculty, and what between travelling doctors' and druggißts' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost if not wholly without results, except to njnre my constitution. During a reoant visit to Hokltika I waa recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alleviating a very severe cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found the dieease which had troubled me so long was conquered, and the skin resumed its normal condition. Thla was effected by the external übb of lees than two one-ounce bottles. Yon are welcome to make any use you pleato of thia letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H.
