Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. —Cure of Skin Diseases. Invercargill, N.Z., 3rd of July, 1880. Messrs Sander and Sons, Sandhurst Gentlemeo.—Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in this colony) for about nine years, I had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide of potassium, &c., internally, and had used prepai’ations of zinc and lead externally. In fact, I had tried all the remedies known to the faculty, and what between traveling, doctors’ and druggists’ bills, had spent a small fortune, almost, if not wholly, without results, except to injure my constitution. During a recent visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try your Extract Eucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alleviating a very severe cold, and no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found the disease which troubled me so long was conquered, and the skin resumed its normal condition. This was effected by the external use of less than two twoounce bottles. Ton are welcome to make any use yon please of this letter, and I subscribe myrelf.—Yours, etc., Signed John H. Kerr, Manager Union Bank of A iistralia, Limited. [Advt.]
