THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1882.



Tho volume which Mr Murray an nounces of sermons on special occasions preached by the late Dean of Westminster in the Abbey will include the discourses occasioned by the deaths of Lord Palmer ston, Charles Dickens, Canon Kingsley, the Princess Alice, Carlyle, Lord Beacons field, and others. “ A friend of mine,” a correspondent writes to Truth , “recently entered a barber’s shop in Spa, and in the course of conversation enquired of the proprietor whether it was a good season. ‘No sir,’ replied the man ; ‘ not that there is any falling off in the number of visitors, but they, are mostly ladies, and do not require shaving.’ The latest joke about King Kalakaua of the Sand wich Islands is that he cannot help being a good man.

Missionaries who are eaten are, after all, not wasted it would appear. Holloway’s Pills.— The chiefest wonder of modern times. —This incomparable medicine increases the appetite, strengthens the stomach, cleanses the liver, corrects biliousness, prevents flatulency, purifes the system, invigorates the nerves, and re-instates sound health.

TJje purification of the blood, removal of all restraint from the secretive organs, and gentle aperitive action are the prolific sources of the extensive curative range of Holloway’s Pills, i [AdvL]
