TRUE GHOST STORIES.

The two ghost stories (says the Lon don correspondent of the Liverpool Mercury) by our most emioent anatoa mist are as romantic in their way as* any told by the Psycholpgjpal, Society, ; When, hardly more'than a lad at Lan caster, the future defender of vivisg£~ tion was studying for the fession, he had a horror dr me gnarly of the business, which he im agined he could never overcome. He was cured, strange to say, by a fright. Having to take some medicine on a windy night to Lancaster Castle, he had to pass through the room in which he had taken part in dissections., Jusf as "he entered tHe "room with the basket of' medicine under his |fm, thp clouds whidh hid'the niobn suddenly parted, a door slammed, &nd looking up, the future biologist saw what he thought , was an enormous amjs' hiitStretched, looking down upon him.

•; T TheTCoinpany 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'cehtef of-whiemthe town of Ash burton is situated, is one in which a very large,private as . well as hotel trade is carried ehj and the facili ies for brewing pHlthftt could be WUhed, and the water of better quality for the purpose than cap be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. ' /Jthe Bibn Brewery; is .'situated on T.S, 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Cass 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 beep 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, throughput Canterbury, but p|rtiqjilarly /flitbughout the Ashburton County.



;- .Thg success which has attended the Brewery Companies in every part of the iworld offers ;a', (great inducement to 'capitalists and investors to take up shares ‘ifl Cqmpaqies of this description, and the promoters'nave the greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company j and have agreecLh); take ..One Thousand Pounds’' worth Of • fully ! paid up’ shares should the Company desire them to do soj It is further proposed to obtain the ser viced ofa first-class brewer, to ensure a large and profitable trade being done. ! Althpugh the- nominal capital of the Cohapany 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 Ttakah ati A valuation. ! The increased capital is required to exs tend the present premises and business, add Alsd 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 atj presqnt. but it will be left to the dis. oretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think desir able; 5 ,], , , ■ V,< j



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 less than three months.



T TJie 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* ! ; '■ ’ • If the Company is not floated, the de posits will be returned in full to the; appli cants. ■ The Share List will be closed on Mon days the 18th June. 1172

AN evilt'ANDU its REMEDY.— Tj the Editor,—lt is ahealthy sign ofthe times when our local papers are beginning lo 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 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, atid 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 fid; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.

TESTIMONIALS., Rangiota, 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 <l4|- grains. On further aubmi ting 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, Ihavoprovedit 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 oases 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 stripped, 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. ' i ! Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted'dyseutery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it. (Signed) * ■Charles DeLaoy McCarthy, M.

They have been, with i grea‘ ikttc - l ess introduey into the priricipat families - in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. • They fire guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with manyaerioua complaints like Bronchitis, Piles; Ulcers,'Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time,, as'these : sicknesses are often caused by worikm of all kinds, eapeciolly by the Tape Worm, ' and by the most dangerous Thread Wbrm, which;- if not destroyed in time, will soon 1 create the hardly-curablo’Worm Fever. 1 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 t-1 nesaed, where a child fallingdontinually 1 into fits (the not knowing the 1 cause) at last died with the brain affected 1 by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still-more ’ recently there was' a’ case-,* a-grown* than 1 whose-seat was affected by‘the; Thread 1 Worm; and who, after trying maby soHa i of remed ; es, without effect was directly 1 relieved by a dose of ; . ’ DR HEILBRON’S Worm Oakes. 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 percepdble,B.till they are caused to' leave by Dr Meilbroh’s Worm Cakes. And there ' cases where children affected with Wonus, | when coughing, or sneezing, do dispharge [ them through the mouth and nose. , The symptoms of Worms are generally ' as follows Lassitude, Giddiness; De -1 pression of Spirits,"-Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases ;of the bile), Disorder of the 1 Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick 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 these Worms, else the consequence will he LWSfi ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread thycMgh out the intestines. If Worms ..are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it jbeyond human skUI to restore and reorganise, the systeni .pf digestive organs, , , , -. o <; DIRECTIONS FOB USB. The quantity; of these. Worm Oakes to > h® taken at a dope .depends mostly, on the * age and constitution ,of the-patient,, n'Xu 1 most cases a couple of doses wili drfve the ■ worms away for . many years, if, noAen -1 tirely. Asa standard : A dose for.a objUd 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 Oakes ; and so to increase with I the age, but never more than four Oakes at .one dose. Grown females, may gene rally take three Cakes, at a.,doje r ,.japd grown men four Oakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Oakes is by taking the doss before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot' tea before breakfast. As 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 well to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
