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. JSS-A comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on applicatiou. 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.

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 persan 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 some persons have 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.

OPINIONS OP 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 j remarkable one, as he had been under the I care of many medical men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment —Neio Zealander, Dec. 27, 1879. Mr. Earnest D'Egville 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 best 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 appearei to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already experienced. —Neiv Zea land Times , Dec. 25, 1879. Dr. Grant has recently effected a very remarkable cure in the case of Mrs. D. Evans, of Kumara, who has been under his treatment for deafness since Feb. 14, last. Mrs. Evans has been deaf in both ears for a very long period—no less than thirty years—her affliction having been caused by a fever, from which she suffered severely. Since that time she has been almost totally deaf, for she could only' hear the the loudest sounds. Since she has been under Dr. Grant’s treatment her hearing has gradually improved, so that now she can hear plainly conversation in an ordinary tone of voice. . She ■ will re turn in a few days to Kumara perfectly well, and in possession of the full faculty of which she has been so long deprived.— West Coast Times, March 10, 1880. One of the employees in the Public Works office here has sent us. the follow ing testimonial to the skill of' Dr. Grant. He says :—‘ ‘ I wish to let you know that Dr. Grant has greatly improved the hear ing of one of my ears, the membrane of which was injured some six years ago. I may add that two surgeons, whom I con sulted a short time ago, considered the case incurable.” Dr. Grant has also been very successful in several difficult cases ot disease of the eye. —Hokitilca Times , March 23, 1880. There are amongst Dr. Grant’s success ful eye cases at Hokitika, a young lady, at J. Jack’s, Esq. , the Mayor, cured, by operation, of squinting; and Mrs. Wavent, operation for artificial pupil. Dr. Grant is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN. 428 STEEDM AN’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 genuine 1st —In 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 spelt 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. 63 T7STHO is Mrs. WINSLOW ? As this v V 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. Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth I 1 Go at once to the chemist; qnd get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP, It will relieve the poor sufferer 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 is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from eething or other causes. Be sure and aplf fpr MriJ, Winslow’s Soothing Syrqp, and see that “ Curtis and Perkins,'Npyp York and London,” is on the oufsjde wrapper. No mother should be without it; Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. l^d. —Depot, 493, Oxford street.

COCKLE’S ffifojs— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the beat and mild est vegetable aperients,, withthe.pure ex tract of the. flowers of the camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organa, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which ■ prod^fe. ip digestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints., They .speedily remove the irritation and ' feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to djgestipn,, promote .^-dpe and healthy secretion' of bile‘,‘ and relieve the constitution of all' gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating inrthe blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing tile causes productive of so muchriiseom|ort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those-who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they. meet witli ap. unusual quantity of acrid bile and'acidfhaper in the stomach and bowels. To.Em/pjtauu on their arrival in India or Chinh'they are recommended as a preservative agtdnat the fatal disorders . peculiar .to.tropical climates." Their occasional use, if J com bined with the strictest attention [to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their 'influence over 'the - Sfebre tions, that congestive .and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe , febrilaimd constitutional disturbance. It must, be understood that these pills are hot recommended as containing any 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 selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the teskabw ledged peculiarity of their composition. They are not recommended jm.sf nor are they adaptcd tb all bbmpl&ifits; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and ionic in the various form# of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exi-ggcraijon to state that they have been... resorted to under all systems of diet,, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric altematiopsr with an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years.
