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 pole 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. gsr- 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 Feme Wire; the one, at Dookie is, without doubt, the best Wire Fence in Australia, and people come from great distances to see it.

Patentee’s Tall y or Trade M B B IN PADLOCK. Manufactured by the Whitecross Wire Company, Warrington, England. I Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, Near South Wales, j 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 Saili son, renders Himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit; therefore, after this notice no excuse can be mode. Wehave 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! these practices are at once stopped.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We can conscientiously recommed those suffering front deafness or other ailments that Dr. Grant ’ has made a special study of, to pay him a visit, when, if curable patients, 1 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 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 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 appeared 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 v 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, fast. 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 lias 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 dull faculty of which she has been so long deprived.— , Iffesi.Coast Times,, March 10, 1880.: One. of the employees in the Public ■\yorks 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 fias also been very successful in several difficult cases of disease of the eye. —Hokitika 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 TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS fUK CHILDREN GUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well-known Family Medi cine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, aiid by all grades of society, for upwards of; FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned exten sive ; salc! 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 hone ire 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, i Chemist,: Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name, Steedman, is always spelt .with two.EE’s. . ... i’ 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 XjrrHO 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 untiremgly devoted her time' and talents as a female physician' and . nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and warits of this numerous class, and, as a result. of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime hs nurse arid physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chit 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 arid bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used herei , We think Mrs Winslow lias immortalised her name by this invaluable article; arid 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 niother has dis charged lier duty to her suffering little ■.one* in our opinion* until she has given it the benefifc of Mrs. .Winslow’s: Soothing Syrup. Try it raotlierp,' try. it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City.



"k DYICE;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. Itwill relieve the poor sufferer inii^diat^^lt. fs perfectlyharmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the-OhUd_;from-pain,; and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button. ” It has been ijo. use ,in America, and is highly recommended by medical men.
