Sir,—Herewith w.a have the pleasure to forward you a letter from New Zea land bearin? testimony to the successful treat ment of a skin disease of long standing through, the use of our Eucalyptus Kxtract for the bene fit of those similarly afflicted. We hope you will deem the subject of sufficient importance to afford this letter a space in your valuable paper.—Yours truly, SANDER & SONS. Bridge-street, Sandhurst, July, 1880. IHVKUOAROILI,. N.Z., Bth JUX.Y 1880, Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. Gentlemen,— Having suffered from eczema, (a skin disease which is very prevalent in thiti colony) for about nine years', I had consulted numerous medical men here and In Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide of potassium, etc., internally, and had nsed pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In fact I had tried all the remedies', known to the faculty, and what between travelling dootora' and druggists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost il not wholly without results, except to Injure my constitution. During a reoant visit to Hokitika I was 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 disease which had troubled mo bo long was conquered, and the Bkin resumed its normal condition. This was effected by the external use of less than two one-ounce bottles. You are welcome to make any use you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H..KERR, Manager, Union Bank of Australia (Limited Agent for Auckland ( GRAVES AICKIN, The Pfarmaov.
