Business Notices. An evil and its remedy.—t> the Editor,—lt is ahealthy sign ofthe times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when 'sbmfething 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 3years,: 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 I be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we 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 cur 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. All other goods in proportion, for cash only. CRAIGHEAD & CO., TAILORS AND CLOTHIERS, Tancred Street. Oysters, Oysters.

JProapegtus. ~ ROSPE 0 T U S ur inn Lion Brewery Co. (LIMITED), ASHBURTON. CAPITAL £20,000 In 4,000 shares of £5 each, Of which only 2,000 shares are now offered to the public. Provisional Directors : Joseph Ivesa, Esq., M. H.R. H. T. Winter, Esq , J. P. lonald Williamson, Esq., Mayor of Ashburton. Hugo Friedlander, Esq. (Messrs. Fried lander Bros.) David Thomas, Esq. (Messrs., Matson, Cox and Co.) John Carter, Esq. (Messrs. Wilkin and Carter). William Horae, Esq. (N.Z. Grain Agency Co.) Dr. W. G. Ross. Joseph Clark, Esq. Octavius Digby, Esq. Bankers —Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor— C. W. Purnell, Esq. Secretary, pro tem —W. H. Gundry. The Company is proposed to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the pro perty and business of the Lion Brewery Company in Ashburton. The very extensive agricultural district, in the centre of which the town of Ash burton is situated, is one in which a very large private as well as hotel trade is carried bn, and the facilities for brewing all that could be wished, and the water of better quality for the purpose than can be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Gass streets. The building is of brick, with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very small cost, and is quite new, having been erected about twelve months. 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, with the influence of the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout the Ashburton County. The success which has attended the Brewery Companies in every part of the world offers a great inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares in Companies of this description, and the promoters fhave the greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. It is further proposed to obtain the ser vices of a first-class brewer, to ensure a large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is £20,000, a comparatively small sum is required to purchase the pre sent premises and plant of the Lion Brewery, viz., £3,000, the stock being taken at a valuation. The increased capital is required to ex tend the present premises and business, and also to erect a malthouse. It is be lieved that malting will be a very profit able branch of the Company’s business, owing to the quantity of barley grown in the immediate district. It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be loft to the dis cretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think desir able. It proposed to call up £2 per share, as required", in calls of not more than 10s per share, and at intervals, after the allot ment, of not leas than three months. The remaining shares will be issued to the public (preference being given to existing shareholders) as the requirements of the Company develope, and it is confi dently believed that a substantial premium will be obtained on them, as in the case of other Brewery Companies, such premiums to be placed to a reserve fund, and there by strengthen the position of the Com pany. If the Company is not floated, the de posits will be returned in full to the appli- OP THE cants. 1172

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 costivo nesa, no matter how freely used, and its being perfectly harmless and purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea, Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest cer tainty. TESTIMONIALS. Rangiora, 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 iayderivod 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 14J 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, 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. 1 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. 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 18Ibs weight. Case No. 2—A G., child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. i Case No. 3—A soldier who had con traoted’dysontery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it.
