Business Notices. £ **- THIS ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD BE CAREFULLY READ AND RE MEMBERED BY EVERYONE IN TERESTED IN FENCING. THE PATENT OVAL . SAMSON FENCE WIRE ETaa 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 imitations already referred to. A comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials irom well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on application. The state Fprests 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 ; Patentee’s Tally or Trade M B R IN PADLOCK. ■,; ; . - "i- Manufactured by the Whitecross Wire Company, Warrington, England.

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. Wo would point out to intending pur chasers that any person 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 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.

BUR NS, Akaroa. 697 a COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best 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 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 digestion, promote a due 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 action 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 pain in their action, unless.they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and 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 tropical 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 often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not 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 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 lo state that 1 they 1 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 boxes at Is l£d, 2s 9d, 4s Gd, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.

Those suf fering from that distressing complaint bronchitis—are the only ones that can form any idea of it. However, to make the matter short, I have had the best advice to be obtained, both here and in Cornwall, England, without any beneficial result. When at about the lowest ebb, a friend called my attention to. Mr Wallis’ advertisement in the Star. I called on that gentleman, stated ; my case. His answer was—“ I can’t cure you, but can do you a world of good. ” He attended me for a week ; the result astounded me ; within two days he gave me more relief than all' the drugs I have taken during half a life-time. Although Mr Wallis told me he couldn’t cure me, yet I have been at work three, months in splendid health, and still feel first rate. The only apology I can offer you, is that the hun dreds suffering from the same complaint may get relief as I did.—Yours, etc., Johnson Thomas. Aldred street, Christchurch. -V,.. (Copy.) Christchurch, Feb. 14th, 1881. To S. Wallis, Esq., Hydrnpathist. Sir, —I write the following hoping yqu will publish it for the benefit of the public. Some four years ago my wife was taken suddenly ill. I called in a doctor, who at once pronounced it rheumatic fever. He attended her for a short time, and then gave up the. case. What to do L did not know. My wife was screaming with pain, which with lightning rapidity passed from one part of the body to another, and the doctor having left us to shift for ourselves. In our last extremity, when.. death seemed inevitable, Mr Denham, coach builder, advised me to apply to you ; and ifever a human, being was snatched from the jaws of death, my wife was on that occasion. Although, you only took a fortnight to cure her, you thoroughly eradicated the disease, root and branch. I'remain, yours ever obliged, John Herbert, Master Butcher. South Town Belt, Christchurch. (Copy.) Oxford Terrace, Christchurch, March 7th, 1881. To Mr Wallis, Hydropathist. Dear Sir,—l send you the following to make any’use of you like. Some years ago Mrs Sherlock 'was under the care of an eminent M.D., suffering from a large fluid tumour internally. ; Under his care she gradually grew worse, and was at last reduced to a mere skeleton. In this stage three of the leading doctors in Christchurch held a consultation, finally deciding that nothing could be done for her. In this critical state I placed her Under your dare, when, to the astonish ment of every one that knew her (the doctor included), in two months you com pletely cured her ; . and ever since, I am happy to say, she has enjoyed the best of health. Any person desiring further information can either apply to Mrs Sherlock, Durham street, or at my photographic rooms, Oxford terrace. • I have the honor to remain, Yours truly, Wm. Sheklock, Photographer. (Copy.) Strickland street, Cashel street East, Christchurch. March Ist. ‘To Mr Wallis, Water Doctor. Sir,—l had intended long ago to write and inform you that the wonderful cure you effected for me five years since was a permanent one, for since that time I have not lost a day’s work through ill health. You will remember how for months I had gone almost . daily to a surgeon with the usual result (viz., getting worse), the pain in my head so severe as to almost drive me out of my mind. As a last resource I was just about going to the hospital, when I heard of you ; fortunately for me I did not go to that institution, for at that time a young man suffering from the same complaint was admitted there. A seton was put in at the back of the neck. That, with other so called medical treatment, very soon affected his eyesight, so much so that when I saw him he was unable to distinguish one color from another. In conclusion, sir, I would say facts are stubborn things. Six weeks under your care turned me out a healthy man—about the same time turned the other young fellow out a corpse. Wishing you every success, I remain, John Wilson, 820 a Carpenter. VALUABLE DISCOVERY, for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER’, 4 now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle,- is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve, days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, heaßhy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and, 1 vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, op white hair to its natural color,and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter l or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does ‘ not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of* the hair.' Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “ On© of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle Of The Mexican Hair Renewer 1 sold'him, it was restored' to riathihl"color.” Tt' may 'be’ hatT'di any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, orDeafet in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C.
