L. Beasley, 23 John's Eoad, Belfast, N.Z.< "I was constantly taking all" sorts of patent cures, prescribed and recommended, which only seemed to irritate and .make it worse instead of better, till I became a physical wreck and not fit to do my daily duties. Hearing'of Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules, I decided to give them a trial, and I am. very sorry I had not heard of them before, as I should have bean saved a great deal of pain ami misory. lam pleased to say they have completely. eradicated all twee of the above complaint, and I am now in the very best of health, and feel it a pleasure to bo alive, aiid able to thank you for the great' benefit and cure I have received therefrom, and I shall always keep a supply of Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules in the home, and strongly recommend them to all sufferers from tab- above complaint." .
