At tention is pointed lo sonm of the Marvellous Cures which have beenell'ected by the Professor since his arrival in Auckland. TESTIMONIALS : 15th February, 1881. To Professor .Tames, Wakefli'ld-street, Auckland, i Dear Sir,—You asked me to iiivo atcstimonla lif your treatment should proved effective, and I have much pleasure in doing 80. I was suffer- I ing from rheumatism (swelled knee) for seven years, and you gave mo somo medicine and advice, which has resulted in my being entirely freo from any sign of the suffering which before was my chronic state, and I should strongly re commend all persons similarly afflicted to place themselves in your hands.—Yours faith fully, Mary Jane Hunt, Wakefield streot, Auckland. I, Dr W. 8. PattkneoN, certify that the abovo testimonial is oorroot. To Professor James, No 5, Brook-Btrcet, 9th November, 1880. Deak Silt,—Having been a suifercr with the liver complaint for years, I was induced by a neighbour to come to you. I am thankful to say your medicine has done mo moro good than all tho doctors I have Ibeen with. lam now quite weli. I shall certainly recommend you to all my friends. I am, yours respectfully, Elizabeth Shane, Brook streot, Wellington. To Professor James, No 5, Brook street, Wellington. Sin,—l am hnppy to inform you that my leg which had beon bad for the last eight years, is perfectly cured. It was first treated for a white swelling, but when I came to you you told me lt was scurvy, and alßo explained how tho jo things occur, which I found to bo so and then poulti cing it, and using remedies which were quite contrary to the complaint. I was told twelve monthß ago that my leg would have to be ampu tated, but knowing gentlemen that you have treated who wero equally asbad asllnivo been, through thoir advice I came to you. There are many who object to their names in the news papers who toid me so, but I think it my duly to make it known to thoso who aro troubled, that thoy may know where to apply for relief. I havo got fat and strong s:neo I havo been under your treatment. lam happy to say that I have got the full uso of my leg, am free from pain and' soreness, and ablo to attend to my buainess regularly.

We hope you will deem the subject of suiiicient importance t-> afford this letter a space in your valuable paper.—Yours truly, SANDER & SONS. Bridge-street, Sandhurst, July, 1880. INVKRCAKGILL. N.Z,, Bth JULY 1880. Mkesrh. Sander Se Sons, Sandhurst. Gentlemen,—Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which ia very prevalent in this oolony) for about nino years, I had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In faot I had tried all the remedies known to tbe faculty, and what between travelling doctors' and druggists' bills, had spent a small fortuno, almost if not wholly without results, except to injure my constitution. During a recent vißit to Uokitika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alleviating a very Beverc cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, 1 found the difeaso which had troubled mo so long was conquered, and the skin resumed its normal condition. This waß effected by tho external uae of less than two one-ounce bottles. You are welcome to mako any use you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H.
