Business Notices. '—ii— K 4 AN EVIL AND ITS REMEDY.—Tv ' the Editor* — It 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 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 3% 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 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.

DIARRiKEA, DYSENTERY, Ac., Completely conquered Viy Monk’s Herbal Extract (Registered), Price 2s fid and 4* per bottle. The above “ Extract ” is one of the moat marvellous disc.■. uies of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never fair 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, 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, I 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 subminting 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. 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 five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted dysentery in Ii dia got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it.

Dear Sir, —Thanks tor the medicine you were kind enough to send me. I have only to say that in my case —a severe attack of neuralgia in the head—it afforded me considerable relief. It has also the advantage of not being in the least nau seous, like most remedies. I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, A. Kennedy. Mr H. D. Monk.

They have a wonderful effect in curing children, as well as' grown persons, by,removing’ tbie worms. They have been, with grea aiic cess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, and New .Zeal And. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Pika, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as thesis sicknesses are often caused by worms of all kinds, especiolly by the Pape Worm, ie and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, s t which, if no: destroyed in time, will soon - 0 create the riardly-curable Worm* Fever. a . The smallest, the Thread Worth, will rhpre le than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body Up to the j brain. An example was recently wit nessed, where a child falling continually l 0 into fits (the parents not knowing the re cause) at last died with the brain affected - e by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still mdris ,d recently there was a case, a grown man. , e whose seat wa> affected by the * Thread j. Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of ' DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. 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 thicx and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Dr Heilbron’s Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, 1 when coughing or sneezing, do discharge •' them through the mouth and nose. . 4 The symptoms of Worms are generally • as follows . —Lassitude, Giddiness, De -3 pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender is diseases of the bile), Disorder of the - 1 Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick *3 Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep,; and many more serious complaints, in, ; eluding Fits, of which last many persona’■ - have been cured by these Worm Cakes. No time should be lost in removing'tliese ■ » Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and 5 quantity, and ultimately spread through- - 3 out the intestines. If Worms are he- gleoted for a time they will do so much 5 damage as to make it beyond human skill > to restore aud reorganise the system. :of digestive organs. . i: DIRECTIONS POE USB. . .The quantity, of these Worm Oakes to be taken at a dose depends . mostly: on the : age and constitution of the- patient, in most oases a couple of doses* will drive the worms away for many years,, if not en tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child! up to 2 years will be half a Cake ■ frbm. 2f to 4 years old, one whole Cake; from 4? to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from Sta 14, two Oakes ; and so to increase' with the age, but never more than four Cakep at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Oakes at a dose, and gro'wn men four Oakes, according to cod . stitution. The most effective way of uar fl g these Worm Cakes is by taking the d 4 ose. before going to bed, and on the folio wing morning to take a cup of hot tea ’.Wore breakfast. I am not certain hov/ long I may stay in this town, and as thr, a e Worm* Cakes can be obtained at a very small ex pense families will do well to o a ve always a small supply of them at tho ; ir houses.
