Business Notices. «3T THIS ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD BE CAREFULLY READ AND RE MEMBERED BY EVERYONE IN TERESTED IN FENCING. 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. The Samson Wire By using the Patent Oval Fence Wire you get a better and cheaper fence than any other, and the best proofs are the mitations already referred to. JS&T- A comprehensive circular as. to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted, to any address on applicatiou. The state Forests of Victoria are fenced with the Patent Oval Samson Fence Wire; the one at Dookie is, without doubt, the best Wire Fence in Australia, and people come from great distances to see it. PRICES GREATLY REDUCED. The public, when purchasing, are there fore cautioned to see that each coil bears a tin tally thus : PATENT OVAL SAMSON WIRE, IN OVAL ; And the Patentee’s Tally or Trade Mark : M B R IN PADLOCK. 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 principalclaimset fourth was itsbeingmade 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 person 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. We have had instances brought under our notice where semepersonshave 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. ADDRESS M c Lean Bros. & Rigg 3 IMPORTER , 69 ELIZABETH STREET, MELBOURNE I TRADE MARK : M B R IN PADLOCK, We undertake through our agents, to deliver the Patent Oval Samson Wire at any port in Australia or New Zealand, either direct from England or Melbourne.

I OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We can conscientiously recommed those suffering from deafness or other ailments that Dr. Grant has made a special study of, 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 man named Charles Swanson, who had been very deaf for three years, but, after ten days’ treatment* 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 —New Zealander, Dec. 27, 18,79- , Mr. Earnest D'Egville Michau called at our office yesterday, and stated that he had been blind with the right eye all his lifetime. Hearing about Dr. Grant, the oculist, who is now on a visit to this city, he determined to give him a trial. He had only been under Dr. Grant s treat ment ton or eleven days when he found, that he could see large objects at some dis tance. Mr. ,Michau states that he : had been under the treatment of some of the best medical men at home, but had not received the least benefit.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the, hair. ;> ; A very nicely perfumed Hairdressings l called THE MEXICAN HAIR- RE NEWER, now being sold by most Cher mists and perfumers througoufc the conn-: try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is-fast super-, ceding all the old restorers and dyes for, the purpose of changing grey or white l 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 been known to fail in restoring the hair to-its 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 healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the'roots of the hair, 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- , 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 withiu the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, 1 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 3% 6d. ‘ per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY o.‘ GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. 1 COCKLE’S ANTIBIMOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild- 1 - est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex-* j, tract of the flowers of the camomile.' . They will he found a most efficacious-. ; remedy for derangement of the digestive ‘ organs, and for torpid action of the liver. ‘ and bowels, which produce indigestion! and the several varieties of bilious an# liver complaints. They speedily remove 1 the irritation and feverish state of the. stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due'and healthy secretion of bile, and relievefthe. - constitution of all gouty matter and other* impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys; thus, by removing the; * gauges productive of so much discomfort,!, they restore the energies of both body-;..-- and mind. To those who indulge in the;" luxuries of the table these pills will prove! highly useful, occasioning no paindn their 1:; action, unless they meet with an unusual ■ 1 quantity of acrid -bile and acid matter in •; the stomach and bowels. To Europeans ■ on their arrival in Lidia or China they; are recommended as a preservative against 5 ' the fatal disorders peculiar to tropicals climates. Their occasional use, if com-; biiied with the strictest - attention to diet,* will be frequently found to remove at! once, by their influence over the ’ secre-s ---tioris, that congestive and unhealthy con-i dition of the liver which is so often ; the ; ; earliest antecedent of severe febrile and v , constitutional disturbance. It must be V* understood that these pills are not i - recommended as containing any new.L; or dangerously active ingredients; on ] the contrary, they are characterised, by > a remarkable simplicity of co nbipation* and whatever merit they may be found - possess depends as much upon the select; tioh of pure drugs, and the unusual labor. , . and attention bestowed upon their subae* *■' queht preparation, as upon the acknow-.;,. ledged peculiarity of their composition,- They are not recommended as a panacea?--- nor are they adapted to all complaints,; \ • but as_a mild and efficacious aperient-and’!, tonic in the various forma of indigestion,-! it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration tp; >: , state that they have been resorted to.t, under all systems of diet, changes of cU-A - mate, or atmospheric alternations with f an extraordinary degree of success for j upwards of seventy-eight years. This J celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes \\ at Is l|d, 2s 9d, 4s Gd, and ills Od, aa f well as, in India, China, New Zealand, the Australian Colonies. -
