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 mitations already referred to.



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.

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 itsbeingraade 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 be made; Wehave 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. 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.

Medical. TEEDMAN’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 : ist—ln every case the, .words JOHN STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. ■ and—Each Single Powder lias directions lor 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 Kemptiiorne, Prosser and Co., Auckland. 03 is.Mrs. WINSLOW? As this * r 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 I 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 aa 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 ? Go at once to the chemist and 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, arid 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 ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York arid London,”' is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. l^d. —Depot, 493, Oxford street.

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, Robert Humphreys, Post Office, Barrasford. ”

COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Fills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the heat and mild* est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers of the camomile. They will be found . a most 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 bUiousr 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 digestion, promote a and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and-other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the actionj of the kidneys; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, 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 action, unless they meet with ah tnaisual quantity of acrid bile and acid-matter the stomach' and bowels. 1 7 To' !ESttKO|feana on their arrival, ini India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their otxado&d iito, com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found -to rempve at once, by their influence over 1 the* secre tions, that congestive andunhealthy con dition of the liver which is ; so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrfie and constitutional disturbance. It mtist be understood that these pills -’are not recommended as containing' aby hew or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are i characterised by I a remarkable simplicity - of combiflation, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upph the’peleo 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 frith an extraordinary degree of success for upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom:hr boxes at Is 2s 9d, 4a 6d, and Ha Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.
