VITADATIO.

LECTURE BY MK. S. A. PALMER. In these days when one hears of to many cures for the various ailments to which flesh is heir, and when so many fall short of accomplishing what is claimed for t hem, it is refreshing to find one which iB really appreciated as being able to do something towards the alleviation of human suffering. That the merits of Vitadatio, which is so extensively advertised, have been recognised was evident by the number of people wlo attended at the Theatre Royal on Friday night, when Mr S. A. Palmer lectured on the curative properties of this medioine. Mr Palmer commenced by saying that though not a native of New Zealand, he had spent a great part of bis life in this colooy, having been for many years in business in Invercargill. For about 14 years he had suffered intensely from a complication of various i diseases. At times be would get a 'little better, but still would be practically an invalid. At last he got so bad that in March, 1895, he had arranged with Dr Young, of Invercargill, to perform an operation. Mr Palmer volunteered for the operation, as he was anxious to get free from the pain, which seemed to be gnawing hit vital parts. The operation was performed and he was found to bs suffering from hydatids, a malady from which he bad found fcalf the people who were ill bad suffered. AfW a month in Dr Young's private hospital he was carried home, and the doctors told him he had not much longer to live. Be wanted to go to the country, and at last resolved to go to Lwnceston, where be bad a brother-in-law, Mr Shields. On arriual there he told bis brotherrin-law be had oome to Launceston (hit native place) to die. Mr Shields siid " No, we've got a medicine here that will cure you, for it has cured others, and will almost raise the dead." Mr Palmer asked if it would cure hydatids, but Mr Shields could tot say. ; For three weeks he was terrib y ill, and refused to try this medioine which Mr Shields "reoommended, as be did not think it would do him any good. Hia brother-in-law went at last and brotght Mr Webber, the proprietor of the medicine—Yitadatio—who came and had a long talk with bira. He ooold not say whether it would oure hydatid*, but he told Mr Palmer he was a fool not to try it, as it could certainly do bim no harm. He then told of asarvellous cures of liver oomplaint, of complications of ailments peculiar to old men, kidney troubles and other terrible diseases. Mr Palmer asked how he came to hear of the medioine, and he replied that it was oonfided to him by an old man, who had otired numbers of cases with it, free of ooet, being a rich man himself. Mr Palmar agreed to try the medicine, and it immediately did him good. A few bottles, he explained, would cure some persons; others required to take a considerable quantity. It all depended on the accumulations of impurit'e* in the blood. The oure was effected by the purefaction of tbe blood, and the toning up of the system, by thoroughly cleansing it from hydatids. This disease was caused by the use of impure drinking water. Mr P/ilmer commenced to take tbe medicine, and found its good effect from the first bottle. He continued to use it, and nine mopttas later returned to Inveroaigill, mured. People bad thought him dead> bnt welcomed him home again with open arms. Seeing the value of tbe medicine, he at once determined that ethers should have a chance of securing good health. He bought the rights of Yitadatio, and commenced toplaoe it cm tbe market. He urged all business men suffering in any way from worry, or illnes', to take Yitadatio. He was about to leave on a trip through England to phoe bis remedy before the ! people, having just oompleted a tour o£ the colonies. During the evening a number of very interesting lantern picture* wen shown, and a programme of gntphophone selections also delighted th« audienoe. 1
