THE PATENT OVAL SAMSON FENCE WIRE Has now been before the public for four years, and during. that time . - 6,000 TONS/HAVE BEEN SOLD Giving very great satisfaction, in proof of which we hold numerous testimonials from well-known colonists ; and the demand is daily increasing to such an extent, that numerous spurious imitations have lately been introduced in the various markets of Australia and New' Zealand, for the sole purpose of damaging the reputation of the Patent, Oval Samson Wire.

Manufactured by the Whitecross Wire Company, Warrington, England. Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand ; and the. principal claim set fourth was its being made Oval to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face of these patents, firms—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to. the intro duction of various spurious imitations, which render them liable to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any persan erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit ; therefore, after this notice no excuse can be made. Wo have had instances brought under our notice where somepersonshave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the'Patent Oval Samson in order to make a sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article. We have a-great aversion to take legal proceedings in this matter, but shall be compelled to, in self-defence, unless these practices are at once stopped.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. .We can conscientiously recommed those sufferirig from deafness or other, ailments that Dr. Grant has made a special study bf, to pay him a visit, when, if curable patients, they may certainly expect relief. An instance came under our notice on Thursday, in the case of a xnan named Charles ' Swaiisbn, : who had been very deaf for three years,' but, after ten days’ treatment, 1 can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. The cure is a rather remarkable one, as he had been under the care of many medical men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment Zealander, Dec.'27,1879. Mr. Earnest D'Egville Michau called at bur office yesterday, and stated' that he had been blind with the right eye ali bis lifetime.

Gd. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for .the purpose of changing grey or white' hair to its natural original color,- for it will positively restore the hair in every case-of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell - which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never;heart known to fail in restoring the hairitjojitsl natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, 1 restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and. richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con- 5 tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not • soil the hands, the scalp,- or even, white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry,! Chemist, Walkden : “ One of my customers told., me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color. It may be had of any , respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer'.' in toilet articles in the kingdom,- at 3a. 6d. pp*r bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. \ GOCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS—- These Pills consist of a careful and;, peculiar admixture of the best and mild-.. est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex- - tract of the .flowers of the camomile.
