ENO’S FRUIT SALT, when taken with water, acts as a natural aperient, its simple but natural action removes all impurities, thus preserving and restoring health. If its great value in keep ing the body in health were universally known, no fam should be without it. Fagged, weary, and worn OUT!! ! Anyone whose duties require them to under go mental or unnatural excitement or strain — ENO’S FRUIT SALT is the best known remedy. It acts like a charm. It allays ner vous excitement, depression, and the injurious effects of stimulants and too rich food. Its power in aiding the digestion is most striking. It also restores the nervous system toils proper condition (by natural means). Use END’S FRUIT SALT. You cannot overstate its great value in keeping the blood pure and free from disease. NO versus STIMULANTS. An n sufficient amount of exercise frequently deranges the liver. ENO’S FRUIT SALT is peculiarly adapted for any constitutional weak ness of the livei. A world of woes is avoided by those who keep and use ENO’S FRUIT SALT. —“All our customers for Eno’s Salt would not be without it upon any consideration, they having received so much benefit from it.— Wood Brothers, Chemists, Jersey, 1878.” Every travelling trunk and HOUSEHOLD in the world ought to contain a Bottle of ENO’S FRUIT SALT, prepared from Sound, Ripe Fruit, as a Health giving, Cooling, Sparkling, and Invigorating Beverage for any Season.

The thanks of the public are due to you for your unceasing efforts to relieve suffering humanity. Long may you live to be a blessing to the world.” ENO’S FRUIT SALT.—“After suffering for nearly two and a half years from severe headache and disordered stomach, and after trying almost everything and spending much money without finding any benefit, I was recommended by a friend to try ENO’S FRUIT SALT, and before I had finish 1 one bottle I found it doing me a great deal of good, and now I am restored to my usual health; and others I know that • have tried it have not enjoyed such good health for years.—Yours most truly, RotiERT Humphreys, Post Office, Barrasford. ” Agents for New Zealand, MESSRS.

Medical. STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASER: S. 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 resemble 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 Ist—ln every case the words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd —The name, Steedman, is always spell with two EE’s. 4U1 —The manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medi cine Vendors. Sold by Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., Auckland. V? XTCTHO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this » » question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for 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 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. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City.
