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 froni well-known colonists ; and the demand is daily increasing to such an extent, that numerous spurious imitations have lately been introduced in the various m: rkets 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 Per ce Wire you get a better and cheaper fence than any other, and the best proofs arc the nutations already referred to. JSW-A comprehensive circular as to rts advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will l>e posted to any address on application.



The state Forests of Victoria are fenced with the Patent Oval SamsOnFenoe Wire ; the one at Dookie is, without doubt, the best Wire Pence 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 r ;—- 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 claimset fourth was its being fnade Oval to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face of these patents, firms —many of respeealtry 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. We have had instances brought under oui notice where somepersonshave been so un principled ns 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 t 6, in self-defence, unless these practices are at once stopped.

OPINIONS OP THE PRESS. We can conscientiously recommed those Buffering 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 Charjes .Swanson, who ; had been very deaf for three years, but, after, ten. days’ treatment, can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. The cure ia a rather remarkable one, as he had been under the care of many medical'men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment —New 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 ppulist, 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 appearo 1 to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already experienced. —New 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 slie lias been under Dr. Grant’s treatment her hearing has gradually improved, so that riow 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 tho 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 haa also been Very successful in several diffiSUlt caaesot disease of the eye.—Jlohilika 'Times; March 23, 1880., ■„ There are amongst Dr. Grant’s snccess iful 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.

The value of this well-known Family Medi cine, has been largely tested in all parts of the wodd, arid by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS.

•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, asa 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 ah 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- -iry it mothers/ try it how.
