"One day I saw Chamberlain's Tablet' advertised and as I knew Chamber.aJn's Cough Remedy was so .good decided to give the tablets a trial. I found them just splendid, for they soon comoletely cured me, and I naturally recommend them to my patients.'' IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Uold, Nose, tarovi or j Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, or Liver Complainjt, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Use SANDER'S EUCALYPi TI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon water. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalyptus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal and antiseptic snbstanoes not contained in other Eucalyptus products. These latter, made by persons ignorant in chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not know what they contain, have cau;->d grievous harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do not apply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns, ulcerß, eczema, and other skin troubles, Apply Pander's Extract; 15 drops in a tablespoon of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. Sander' b Extract Heals because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparations. It heals when others irritate.

MR SHAKES' EXPERIENCE. For over thirty years Mr James Shakes has been a resident of Wellington. His shop in Manners Street is well known, and his experience will b© interesting to many a sufferer from Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago. Rheumatic Gout, Ston©j Gravel, and kindred diseases, writes :

"During a severe attack of Rheumatic Gout, I tried BHUMO. All pains left me in twenty minutes after the first dose and by the followin * morning all swelling had disappeared. Hearing that a friend) of mine was. suffering from Rheumatic. Gout. I went up to his place with a bottle of RHEUMO, and, aa in my case, the result was a cure. I cah honestly recommend .RHEUMO t» suffores from Rheumatic Gout; as a euro it is a certainty."

Perhaps you have found that other so-called remedies —linjmeiit.s, embrocations, plasters, or pills—could cot cure your Rheumatism or Gout. They did not give relief, for they could not touch the real cause of tk» suffering—excess urie acidi in tk® blood. RHEUMO is the one tnedi«in* that always brings relief.
