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 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 nutations already referred to. £SSj"K comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous, testimonials from well-known colonists*: will be posted to any address on application.

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 itsbeingniade 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. Wehavo 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.

The cure is a rather remarkable one, as lie had been under the care of many medical men, but has, re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment— New Zealander, Dec. 27,1879.

She has especially studied the constitution and •svants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse. and 1 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.
