MR WOODING, who has studied and prac tised for the abovo for the past four years, and has proved the efficiency of his treatment in cases where other means have failed to effect littio or no result, bo,, s to announce that he may bo consulted at his Rooms, High-street, for tho spocial treatment aud euro of Rheuma tlßm.Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, Ncnralgia, Hoad aches. Nervousness, Deafness, Affections of tho Eyes, Asthma, Spinal and Livor Complaints, and all Blood and Skin Diseafies. His mode of treat ment is such that it quickly removes from tho body, through the pores of the Bkin, tho matters of disease, cleansing and puri fying the blood, enabling it to perform its proper functions with so little inconveni"nco to patients that in moßt cases thoy can follow their ordinary occupations. Tho most important ad vantage of his treatment, and ono that cannot bo over-estimated, is thatmedicino is discarded, and thus the delotorious ett'ect of mercury and other injurious drugs upon tho constitution aro happily avoidod. Acute pains in the joints, knees, arms, logs, and back removed by one ap plication, and iv a fow hours. AUCKLAND TESTIMONIALS.
