MR. W. WEBBER, Launeeston.

THEY SAY

Dear Sir,— l ;un in receipt of your favour of the 22ncl ult. 1 must apologise for not acknowledging it before, l>ut have been waiting to further observe the effects of your Vitadatio on my son. The inforniation you ask for I will give willingly. My son, age<l lo.J years, for five years previous to the use of your remedy had been snlVering from a complication of diseases affecting t lie Liver and Bowels, and during that time was under the treatment of several medical men. Six months ago, his condition being very critical, I determined to give your Vitadatio a trial, having heard of its efficacy in a number of cases somewhat similar to that of my son. Before finishing the first bottle the effect was marvellous, the patient vomiting and passing Hydatids and Hydatid Cysts. These conditions continued for about three weeks, during which time the patient was unable to take a morsel of solid food and suffered extreme pain almost continuously. After three weeks the vomiting ceased and the lad rapidly recovered, gaining in weight daily. He is now enjoying as good health as he experienced before the commencement of his illness 5i years ago, and I can detect no symptoms of a return of his trouble. rwcs=rT-fi «WJ'iAH Mrs Lane and myself firmly believe that his present condition of good health is due to Webber's Vitadatio, aud to Vitadatio only. You are at liberty to make whatever use you wish of this communication.— Yours faithfully, W. H. LANE. Painter, etc., Burnie. P.S.— I may state that he hasltaken'in all five bottles of Vitadatio.— AV.H.L. •j-MlMH'"^^-^ It appears that there was once doubt as to whether Master Lane's trouble was in reality a bad case of Hydatids, and a bottle of the disease which passed from the boy was sent to the Bacteriological Institute at Melbourne, and the Bacteriologist pronounced the contents of the bottle to be Hydatids and Hydatid Cysts, which is an additional confirmation that Webber's Vitadatio will cure this dreadful disease, which is sa prevalent all over the Australian colonies.

The anonymous advertiser generally sets a lot of fun at the cost of a ghilling or two. A married couple, who have resided in Wellington for some time, and who have not .been on amicable terms, latterly decided to part. Tlie woman left suddenly .one evening, after an unusually bitter scene, and next day the husband advertised anonymously for a housekeeper, applicants bemg requested to address letters to the office of the paper. He got an armful of them, and one of the first he opened /was from—his wife. She gave nerself a beautiful character, told how many years', experience she had had, and all the rest of it. The amused hushand replied, stating that if she had become so good all of a sudden she had better return home. The ultimate result was that they became reconciled. But she will never forgive herself for having written that awful letter, and would -like to get hold of it. Also, all the other applications he received from women anxious to keep house for him.
