Mr James Gale, settler, Arahura, Hoki,tika, writes:—"Mr W. Townend,—l feel .it my duty to thank you for the benefit I have received from your celebrated i Cinnamon Cure. I had bronchitis for three months, and had to sit up in bed half the night. Ihe tubes in my throat seemed stopped up, and I could hardly ; breathe. I had two doctors, and so long as I stopped in the house, and took their me dicing I got a little relief, but never j seemed to be clear in my throat, and my .‘breathing was very short. If I went outjside I got bad again. Seeing your advertisement, I thought I would buy a bottle. It gave me relief at once, and I have only taken two bottles and am all right in my breathing. The medicine brought up an awful lot of phlegm from my stomach and lungs, but I am getting all right since the phlegm is up, and my appetite is coming back. I thank you again.” Price 2s 6d per bottle, jchemists or-storekeepers.— [Advt.l
