Social History

1894 North Melbourne Advertiser.

BACK FROM THE GRAVE.

A short time ago, the son of the station master at Seymour suffered from a severe attack of diphtheria. Medlcal men were called in, shook their heads, and said that there were no hopes, telling the child’s parents that they might order its coffin. At this critical juncture, when the child’s, life was despaired of a bottle of Greathead’s Mixture was tried, with the result that the sufferer was not only saved, but in a few weeks was perfectly well. This is only one of many thousands of cases treated successfully by Greathead’s Mixture-2s, 6d. per Bottle. – From Chemists and storekeepers throughout the district.
