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 imitations already referred to. y pS'"A comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials irom 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 Dookio 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 sue 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 itsbeingmade 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. Wehave had instances brought under our notice where semepersonshave 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, hut shall be compelled to, in self-defence, unless th so practices are at once stopped. ADDRESS M £ Lean Bros.

G9Ri COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— Those Pills consist of a : careful and I peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex tract of the flowers of tho camomile. They will bo found a most eflicacious remedy for derangement of tho 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 duo and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously aflect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore tho 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 tho stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or .China .they arc recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical I climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with tho strictest attention to diet, will bo 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 riossoss depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and tho unusual labor ind attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the uckuow-



lodged peculiarity of their composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted .to all complaints; but as a mild and eiiicaoioua aperient and tonic in the .various, forms of indigestion, it will not,-perhaps, be all exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary . success for upwards of seycntytoigUt Tips celebrated 'family' aperient i maji ‘He* throughout the United Kingdom in bones at Is Well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Ooldnies. - 1 > -nr •non.loC

However, to make the matter short, I ha.ve had the best advice to be obtained, both hero and in Cornwall, England, without any beneficial result. When, at about the lowest ebb, a friend called rhy 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.



Christchurch, 3?eb. 14th,, 1881. To S. Wallis - ,, Esq., Hydropathist. Sir, —I write the following; hoping you 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 .pronopnced it rheumatic fever. He attended her for a short time, and then gave up the case. What to do I'did hqt 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. Ip our last'ektreniity, when death seemed inevitable, Mr Denham, coach builder, advised me to apply to you ; and if ever a .human being was snatched, from .the jaws of death, my wife was on that occasion. Although - ''you only took al fortnight to , cure, her, you • thoroughly eradicated the'disease, root and branch.! I remain, yours ewer obliged, j John 'Herbert, ']■ , Master, Butcher.

: (Copy.) Oxford Terrace,, Christchurch, March 7th, 1881. To Mr Wallis, Hydropathist. Dear Sir,—l send you the following toj 1 make any use of you like. Some years! 1 ago Mrs Sherfjock’J^^^jjulg}:.' .the care : of ah 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. ’ Iff this ! ; stage three of the heading doctors in ! Christchurch held a consultation, finally deciding that nothing could be done for' her. In this critical state I placed her l under your care, when, to the astonish . raent of .every one that knew her (the doctor included), in two months you com pletely cured her ; and ever, since, lam 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 ray. photographic rooms, Oxford terrace. I have,the honor tp remain, Yours truly, . Wm. Sheklock, Photographer. (Copy'.) Strickland street, Cashel stree East, Christchurch, March Ist. To Mr Wallls, Water Doctor. Sir, —I 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., get ting-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 heal’d 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.



TALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR.

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 tlao hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. -It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and hvigor. Daily applications of this preparation for •a week or Two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and' richness. It is not a dye, nor* does it con tain any • coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. !
