If its great value in keep ing the body in health were universally known, no fain should be without it. Fagged, weary, and worn OUT!!

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-— Neiv Zealander, Dec. 27, 1879. Mr. Earnest D‘Eg villa 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. Grants treat ment ten 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 bast 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 appeared to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly : grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already experienced.— New Zea land Times, Dec. 25, 1879.

KEATING, London., 956 c Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, ’ suffering with the pain of cutting teeth? Go at once to the chemist and . get , a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING t SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer T immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little. ’ cherub awakes “ as bright as a button.” , It has been in use in America, and. is. highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take; it sooths the. child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, £ relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and j is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from , ee thing or other causes. Be sure and ' ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, J and see that “ Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without, ’ it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. '■ l£d. —Depot, 493, Oxford street. 1 WHO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this 1 j » ’ question is frequently asked, we t shall simply say that she is a lady who for i upwards of thirty years has untireingly; . devoted her time and talents as a female ■ physician and nurse, principally among . children. She has especially studied the . constitution and wants of this numerous ; class, and, as a result of this effort and ; practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com ; pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic,• giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming • world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that thousands of ohil. dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share Its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it ■ the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.—,, Ladies’Visitor, New York City. YALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE- . NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the cbun try, at 3s. 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 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 clean, 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 I’ichness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does hot 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- v bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewed I-• ! ' sold him, it was restored to and kept'its; F natural color. It may be bad of any p respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer- r in toilet articles,in the kingdom, at 3s.
