Business Notices. STS'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 5,000 TONS HAVE BEEN SOLD Giving very great satisfaction, in proof of which wc 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 nutations already referred to. jfr&'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 Now Zealand ; and the principal claim sot 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. Wchave had instances brought under oui 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.

Dr. Grant.—Dear sir,—l have to give you thanks for the great benefit to my hearing since I have been under your care. —I am, &c., Robert Campbell. Ponsonby, July 23.

I was under Dr. Grant’s treatment for squinting, and was completely cured in ten days. I would earnestly recommend any persons suffering from diseases of the eyes to make a trial of Dr Grant, feeling sure that he would benefit them as he has done me.— John Sinclaire, Jun. Ponsonby road, Hope Town, Auckland, June 16, 1880. I have been under Dr. Grant’s care since May 26, for great deaf ness, for more than twelve years, and am about seventy (70) years of age. Dr. Grant has removed a large and small polypus from my years, and I can hear much better, having greatly improved under his care, for which I am very thankful.— Charles Lowe. DR. GRANT,



Horne’s Estate, New North road, Auck land, June 10, 1880. I have been suffer ing from a severe local disease. Dr. Grant operated upon me on Saturday last, and I am now quite well, although I had been in an ill state of health for four years.— Charles Muller. Cross street, Newton, Auckland, June 17, 1880.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Wo 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 mail, 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. 27,1870. 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 Grants treat ment ten or eleven days when ;ho .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. We are at all times chary of accepting details of “ Wonderful cures,” but the young man who called at our office appearei to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gaut for the relief which he has already experienced.— New Zea land Times , Dec. 25, 1879.



Dr. Grant is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN. Dr. Grant lias recently effected a very remarkable cure in the case of Mrs, D. Evans, of Kumara, who has been under his treatment for deafness since Feb. 14, last. Mrs. Evans has been deaf in both ears for a very long period—no less than thirty years—her affliction having been caused by a fever, from which she suffered severely. Since that time she has .been almost totally deaf, for she could only hear the the loudest sounds. Since she has been under Dr. Grant’s treatment'her hearing has gradually improved, so that now she can hear plainly conversation in an ordinary tone of voice. She will re turn in a few days to Kumara perfectly well, and in possession of the full faculty of which she has been so long deprived.— West Coast Times, March 10, 1880. One of the employees in the Public Works office here has sent us the follow ing testimonial to the skill of Dr.: Grant. He says : —“ I wish to let . you know that Dr. Grant has greatly improved the hear ing of one of my ears, the membrane of which was injured some six years ago. I may add that two surgeons, whom I con sulted a short time ago, considered the case incurable.” Dr. Grant has also been very successful in several difficult cases of disease of the eye. —Hokitika Times, March 23, 1880. ' . ■ , ' ' There are amongst Dr. Grant’s success ful eye cases at Hokitika, a young lady, at J. Jack’s, Esq., the Mayor, cured, by operation, of squinting; and Mrs. Wavent, operation for artificial pupil.



Nelson, May 11, 1880. “I, Thos. Adams, have been under Dr. Grant’s treatment for deafness of the left ear, from which I have suffered twc years, the result of a severe tropical fever.
