Business Notices. •ar THIS ADVERTISEMENT c MOULD BE CAREFULLY READ AND RE MEMBERED BY EVERYONE IN TERESTED IN FENCING. THE PATENT OVAL SAMSON FENCE W IRE Has now been before the public for four years, and during that ti >e 5,000 TONS HAVE BEE* SOLD Giving very great satisfaction, i pro.if of which we hold numerous te vtinu i als from well-known colonists ; and the ■ i.maud is daily increasing to such an exi lit, that numerous spurious imitations h vo lately been introduced in the various i: arkens of Australia and New Zealand, for the sole purpose of damaging the reputati n 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. j&t-A 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 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 New Zealand ; and the principal claim set fourth was its being 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 persen 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 foe made. We have 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 so practices are at once stopped. ADDRESS M‘Lean Bros. & Rigg 3 IMPORTER , 69 ELIZABETH STREET, MELBOURNE TRADE MARK : M B R IN PADLOCK.

Medical. STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING 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 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 I 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 lor the dose, and the words, John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd —The name, Steedman, is always spell with two EE’s. 4th —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. £3 WHO 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 regulato 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 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.r=- Ladies’ Visitor, New York City.

COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the piite-ex tract of the flowers of the; camomile. They "will be found a most 1 efficacious remedy for derangement of the .digestive organs, and for torpid action of the'liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious-'ahd liver complaints. They speedily rernbve the irritation and feverish slate of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the 1 morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due'and healthy secretion of bile, and relieW*?he constitution of all gouty .matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, moat injuriously affect the ! &|iba of the kidneys ; thus, by removing! the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both-bo&y and mind. To those who indulge ■ in-the luxuries of the table these pills WiU prove highly useful, occasioning no painih thSir action, unless they meet with quantity of acrid bile arid acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China 'they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to trojacal climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over-the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so oftei file earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It niuit be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any l new or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity 'of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the'selw tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted - to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in bones at Is l£d, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and 11s Oct, is well as in India, China, .New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.
