1 - ■tx. the sign ofthe times when our local papers arc beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the. bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cask only in future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices : —Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d ; ladies’ tailor jmade ulster, £2.

Medical. ONK’S NEW ZEALAND! Herbal Remedies, DIARRHOEA., DYSENTERY, &0., Completely conquered by Monk’s Herbal Extract (Registered), Price 2a 6d and 4s per bottle. The above “Extract” is one of the moat marvellous discoveries of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never; fail in chronic or acute' cases, however severe. * • The great properties of this medicine consist in its never producing costive* ness, no matter how freely used, 1 and its being perfectly harmless and purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea; Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest cer tainty.



TESTIMONIALS. Rangiota, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I End it to be a skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties' of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by : evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On Weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14-j- grains. On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many shroriic cases and in dysentery, Ihaveprovedit to .possess great specific control, added to .the '.unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that, from the number of trials I have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a 'most valuable addition to modem therapeutics. , The following’ cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I—Mrs M——, West Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced, eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 18lbs weight. Case No. 2—vA G.,child, aged fiveyears... Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third'day. 'Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted dysentery in India got a small two iounce phial, and was well before .he had finished.half of it. (Signed) .

EPPS CHOCOLATE ESSENCE JjR HEILBRON’S WURM (7AK|SS' These Cakes are principally prepared from Herbs, and do not contain any dan gerously active ingredients.. ’ They. have-, a wonderful effect in caring children, as well as grown persons, by removing the worms. They have been with grea suc cess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, inavery ?hbrt time, with many serious, complaints ike Bronchitis, Piles, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are of ten, caused by worms of all kinds, e°p3ciolly by the Tape and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, which, if not destroyed in time, will soon create, the hardly-curable Worm. Fever. The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices, of the body up to the brain. An example was recently wit nessed, where a child falling .continually into fits (the, parents not. knowing the cause) at last died with the brain affected by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more recently, there was a .case, a grown man whose seat waa affected by the Thread Worm, and who, after trying. many .sorts of remedies, without effect- was directly relieved by a dose of 1 * DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. . There are cases where’- the worths come away that they almost- can be counted; then often they come away in whole.olpts, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still tfipy , are caused to leave by Dr Heilbron’s : Worm Cakes. And there have bean other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do' discharge’ them through the mouth and none. * _ ' The symptoms of Worms are-generally as follows . —Lassitude, Giddiness, Do : preasion of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if hot acted against,' will engender diseases of the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick ! Headaches, Vomiting'; Disturbed Sleep,., and many more serious complaints, eluding Fits, of which last many persons .have been cured by these Worm Calres| No time should be Jost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so'much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organs.
