In fact had tried all tho remedies known to tho faculty, and what betwocn travelling doctors' and druggists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost if not wholly without results, except to Injure my constitution. During a reoont visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulns by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alloy lating a vory severe cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found the disease which had troubled me so long was conauered, and the skin resumed its normal condition.
