CONSUMPTION, PLEURISY JJbUi} A WONDERFUL SURE. DOCTORS DIAGNOSED rt:t YITADA ,!f !RED I 381, Swan street, Richmond, Victoria, October 21, 12 9 A MB S. A. PALMES, Sole Distributor of Webber’s Vitadatio., Sydney. Dear Sir, —As I consider Webber’s Great Herbal Remedy lias been the means of saving my life, I think the least I can do is hand you my Testimonial: I do this absolutely of my own free will, with the hope that it will encourage others who suffer in a like manner as I did myself to persevere with Vitadatio, and through persevering may be cured of their infirmities. I had been suffering for five years. In the first place I was a youth, not quite nineteen years of age. I worked in a cellar in Melbourne, and through the rapid changes of temperatures I caught cold after cola, which at last brought on Pleurisy; I was under one of the best doctors in Richmond for about tlireq. months, but I made no progress to recovery. He advised me to go for a trip to build me up; so in October, 1895, I left Melbourne for New Zealand, I was first under a doctor at Wyndliam, N.Z., who failed to do me any good. He wished to hold a consultation, so I got another from Invercargill, N.Z. They came to the conclusion that I was suffering from Consumption; and that I could not live more than a month or two; they also advised me to go further north. So on their advice I went to Wellington. I was treated as an out-dopr patient at the Hospital there form March, 1838, till March, 1898; but they failed to do me any good. I tried private doctors, but with the same disheartening result; they said it was consumption and took it for granted fit could not be cured). After that I saw Mr Palmer in Wellington, and lie advised me to take Vitadatio, and seeing the good it had done him; I started to take it, but alter taking it for some time, I got disheartened and thought it would not cure me. I expected a few bottles to cure me, but it did not, so I gave it. up. So after that I went under another doctor, but he said he could do nothing for me, but as I am a- member of the Foresters* Lodge, I had to get a certificate report every fortnight, in such report he wrote I was suffering from Phthisis. He told my sister there was no possible hope for me, so I decided to come back to Melbourne. If I were to die I would die at home. I left Wellington in February, 1899, for Sydney, when in Sydney I could not go about for my feet were both swollen, so I had to stop there some time. I arrived -in Melbourne in March, 1899, and the winter following, I was confined to my bed, I could not turn myself in my bed without aid, I was very weak and the doctor said I would not live a fortnight. After that I again saw Mr Palmer who still persisted that Vitadatio would do me good if I would just stick to’ it. He also told me I would die if I would not take it, so to please my family I again took it. After taking it for some time I began to swell very much in the stomach. I got the doctor to call, he wanted to tap me, Rut my mother would not allow him. I verily believe that to have been the Vitadatio working on the complaint. After that I made rapid progress. I used to feel the abscesses forming, and when they were to their height I could hardly breathe till they broke. I would start vomiting up blood mixed with phlegm, after that I would feel easy till some more was forming, which would come away in a like manner. But I have to thank God and Vitadatio 1 have got beyond that stage now. I never have these sicknesses now, and am able to go anywhere, and everywhere, and eat well and sleep well, I have now not a pain nor an ache anywhere. I am a member of the Foresters’ Lodge here, and the doctor gave me a certificate last month to say that I may follow any light employment. believing it will not injure my health by so doing. When I arrived in Melbourne, one year and seven months a«o, I barely weighed 8 stone; now I am 9st lOlbs. Thanks to Vitadatio and your persistence. You are at perfect liberty to make what ial. I will be pleased to answer any questions your patients may wish concerning case —I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, * J. ATKINSON. We, the undersigned, have been sick visitors of the Lodge Brother J. Atkinson is member of, and hereby certify to his recovery. HENRY FORDHAM, 173, Dover-streef, Richmond. HENRY JAMES BIRD, 47 Market street. South Melbourne. ALFRED ALLEN, 76 Henry-street, Windsor. W.
