NIL DESPEUANDimI. Don't Suffer. Nixon-street, Surrey Hills. ; December 8,1884. Gentlemen.— Having been a sufferer for i considerable time from biliousness and head ache. I am pleased to inform you that the Hamburg Tea you recommended mo has clrectea a comploto cure. I know several of my noign boura who have used it for similar complaints, and find it a first-class remedy, and i member of my family, who has been subject to dytpeptio attacks for a groat number of years, says she ob tains moro substantial relief from Hamburg Tea than from any preparation she has ever If my recommendation is of any sorvioe, in common fairness I think it is due to you. Yours faithfully, R. A. GRANT. The above testimony was received by Messrs Myers and Solomon, and their salesmen inform me that they frequently hear very favourable reports of its reliable curative properties. A HINT TO LADIES.

That Hamburg Tea is moat valuable for the cure of headache, and oilier distressing com plaints of females, may bo seen from the follow ing letter, written by a liuly resident in Sydney, whoso address may bo obtained at the office of tho Agents:- Sydney] Fcbr j lry in, 1881. Dear Sir.—For some time previously to using your Hamburg Tea, I had been subject to head acho and general debility, caused. I think, by tho sudden changes of tho weather. I am glad to say. however, that since taking itl havo been entirely free from these complaints; and I think It is a very valuable medicino to havo on hand. Youra faichf ully, J. HOGAN.

Dear SiR.-Thlnking tho following cure* effected by St. Jacobs Oil may be of interest. I now forward them. 1. Homo timo ago my wife was laid up with a severe attack of rheumatism, winch nnaJly settled in her left hand; aftor suffering great pain for nearly a month, she was induced to try the ahovo, and tho flrut application gave relief, and one bottle completely cured her. 2. A resident in this district was recommended by mo to try St. Jj.cobs Oil, being confined to her room with rheumatism—in two days ane was quite doe from pain. 3. Chancing to stay one nletht with a selector, about 30 miles from here, the wonderful power of this oil was discussed, and I saw a pet lamb which had burnt one of its fore legs eovcrely. to fuct, quite dried up the sinews. St. Jacob s Oil wns applied, and tho lamb is now as well and sound aB ever. i. Not far from Wagga Wagga a friend of mino recommended thU Oil to a young fellow who had been laid up for nearly four months with an injured kneecap. He had wasted Urn« and money on various remedk-s inefleotually. A few days after, my friend pa 3 ing that way again, waß astonished to see th« young rel. >w hard at work on his selection. Onu bcttl«'« Jacobs Oil hod completely cured him. an gratitude shown waß very great.—lour» v... °erely' JOHN LA.NNINGTON. To tho Editor " Germantown Times and Turn berumba Advocate." [This letter was received by me a few days ago, and the writer holds a good position here, and is ptrsonally known to me. The cures have caused quite a sensation in the neighbourhood, and tho Oil is very popular.—Yours faithfully J. 0. Hart, Editor G.T. and T.A.J-Advt. Wholesale Depot for Auckland— M.
