The Building and Plant is all of first class quality, well arranged and; very com plete, and with the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, wi(Jx,the influence,of the Company and papitaM throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout the Ashburton County.

E *3AnIDBBS Notices.' — r ¥- An EVIL AND ITS REMEDY.—Tj the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign of'he times when our local papers are beginning ib 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 2)4 years, and the money we haver 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 rwe- have resolved to sell for' cash 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 made ulster, £2.

TESTIMONIALS. Eangiora, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, 1 find it to be 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|- 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 chronic cases and in dysentery, Ihave proved it 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 modern therapeutics. 4 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 181bs weight. - Case No.2—A 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 ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it.

LONDON. ALSO. EPPS CHOCOLATE ESSENCE } HEILBRON’S WORM CAKES - These Cakes are principally prepared : from Herbs, and do not contain any dan gerously active ingredients. They have a > wonderful effect in curing children, as - well as grown* persons, by removing the i worms. They have been with grea sup? - >.ess introduey into the principal families - in Europe, Australia, ani\ New Zealand., - They are guaranteed to do away, in a very, short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchiuis, Piles, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms of all kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm,; 3 and by the mast dangerous Thread Worm, which, if not d stroyed in time, will soon > create the ; ardly-curable' Worm Fever.. 3 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- ; 1 nessed, where a child falling continually > into fits (the parents not knowing the 1 cause) at last died with the brain affected 1 by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more. 3 recently there was a case, a grown man 3 whose seat was affected by the Thread 1 Worm, and who, after trying many sorts k of remedies, without effect was directly 3 relieved by a dose of DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. 1 There are cases where the worms come ■ away that they almost can be counted; * then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff* ” ‘ and although not so perceptible, still they" are caused to leave by Dr SeilbronV Worm Cakes. And there have been other" 3 cases where children affected with Worms,. j when coughing *or sneezing, do discharge . J them through the mouth and nose. - The symptoms of Worms are generally > as follows . ; —Lassitude, Giddiness* De -1 pression of Spirits, Impaired (which if not acted against, will engender'! diseases of the bile), Disorder of the' 1 I Stomach and Digestive Organs,' Sick ' Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleepy; ■ and many more serious' complaints, .in- ; 3 eluding Fits, of which last have been cured by these Worm' No time should be lost 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 arena- 1 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. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. The quantity of these Worm Cakes to . > be taken at a dose depends mostly on the i age and constitution of the patient. In i most cases a couple of doses will drive the worms away for many years, if not en i tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child,, up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 to 4 years old, .one whole Cake ; from 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from Bto 14, two Cakes; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes , at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, and grown men four Oakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Cakes is by taking the dose . before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea .before breakfast. I am not certain how long I may stay in this town, and as these Worm Cakes can be obtained at a very small ex*, pense families will do will to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
