Business Notices. •a-THIS ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD BE CAREFULLY READ AND RE MEMBERED BY EVERYONE IN TERESTED IN FENCING. THE PATENT OV AL 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 testimoni .'s 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 ti e solo purpose of damaging the reputation i of the Patent Oval Samson Wire. The Samson Wire



By using the Patent Oval Fenc Wire you get a better and cheaper fer v,e than any other, and the best proofs are the nutations already referred to. comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on application. The state Forests of Yictoi'ia 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 principal claim set fourth was its beini'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 perssn 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. . Wehave 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 th se practices are at once stopped. ADDRESS M‘Lean Bros. & Rigg, IMPORTER , 69 ELIZABETH STREET, MELBOURNE TRADE MARK i M B R IN PADLOCK.

Medical. TDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS CHILDREN GUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS, The value of this well-known Family Medi cine Has been largely tested in all parts of the World, and by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned exten sive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITA TIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely reserhble'the ori ginal as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, Without which none • are genuine : 1st —In every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. and—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, arid the words, John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd —The name, Steedman, is always spelt with two EE’s.

Sold by Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., Auckland. 63 WHO is Mrs. WINSLOW! 5 As this question is- frequently '• risked, 'we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty year? 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, slie has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP fori Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest atid 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 chil 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 1 . " Try it mothers, try it now. Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. . 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 SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately.
