Testimonial.— " Off Wellingto-.>streot Auckland, March 5, 1886. To the Editor Sir, — Kindly allow me, through tht columns of jour paper, and for the benefil of tee suffering portion of humanity, t( publicly acknowledge and mako known thf rcmarkaMe c-re Signor Kenuid, of this city, has made in ray case. I had suil'erec for about 14 years with lung disca^p, fits, loss of appetite, night sweat?, at;d with lost of flesh, loss of stJ>3nj»th, and distressing weakness. I had tried several doctors al different lime?, but without the le^sl benefit. A few months ago my health became so broken down that my life seemed a burden to mo. As no doctor had ever benefited me, I despaired of ever get(in° well, when, about six weeks ago, I heard oi Signer Renaud, and, as a lusfc resource, applied to him, although I confess, with little hope of being cured. At that time I was so weak and low that I could scarcely drag one leg (after the other. Iv fact, it seems to me impossible that anyone could be worse ; wha<- with the debilitated Btate of my body, the shortness of breath, the difficulty of breathing, the mental depres* sioD, lassitude, and extreme prostration I was then 1 bouring under, I really wonder lam still living. Simply being alive, however, is not a description of mo at present. lam truly a new man. Pains, weakness, nervousness, and want of appetite a*j entirely dispelled. In one word — I am cured. Gratitude to Signor Kenaud, whom I shall ever look upon aa my greatest benefactor, impels me to write this testimonial of his groat skill and ability, jftu ona can toll, Qor can I express how truly thankful I feel For tho good I have receive! I remain, sir, youts, &c, Geokqb JoNiss. Witness : Ihomaa Chapman."
