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, iu proof of wiiich 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 reputa don 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. 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 Fence Wire; the one at Dookie is, without doubt, the beat 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 ; 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 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 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. Wehave had instances brought under out 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 these practices are at once stopped. ADDRESS M‘Lean Bros. & Rigg, IMPORTER , 69 ELIZABETH STREET, MELBOURNE TRADE MARK : M B R IN PADLOCK. We undertake through our agents, to deliver the Patent Oval Samson Wire at any port in Australia or New Zealand, either direct from England or Melbourne,: Inquiries by telegram promptly answered.

OPINIONS OF 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 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. 27,18791 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 j 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, 1870. 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. —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 TT7HO is Mrs. WINSLOW 1 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 arid 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 Wirislow 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 thejppor sufferer immediately. ' ’ It is 1 ’ -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 ( ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New ( York and 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. 1

From the first dose I felt great relief, the bad symptoms, grew feebler, the irritation of the throat was calming down, and I recovered the sleep which had nearly left me. The third dose delivered me completely, and I am now completely restored to health. Receive, sir, with the expression of my gratitude the assurance of my distinguished sentiments. .

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 ahd 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 p the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical :i climates. Their occasional use, -if . oom« 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 mihealthy-coh- 1 dition of the liver which is so often thd earliest: antecedent of severe febrile and ) constitutional disturbance. It must be ; understood that these pills are irOt ,; recommended as containing- any' new or dangerously active ingredients ; on : the contrary, they are characterised 'by r a remarkable simplicity of combination, ■ and whatever merit they may be found 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 forma of indigestion, r ' it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration: to . state that they have .been [ .rasoitodltoi. under all system? of ; diet, : charges ofcclLi / mate, or atmospheric alternationsu , sritho ■ an extraordinary degree, of aucoesa ior ii upwards of seventy-eight yCara.il This :; celebrated fapflly, aperient > may bo,had r. - t throughout i at ls 2s 9d, 4s- 6d, and llaQcUAs well as in Indio, China, Hew- Zealand,- and <"> the Australian Colonies. . v: »i
