DR SINCLAIR, M.RC.S.,E.;L.D.S.I. THE TEETH PAINLESS DENTISTRY, The largest and most complete Dental firm in Australia. Moat wonderful improvements in the Manufacture of Artificial Teeth. Cheaper than ever. Dr L. Sinclair, Member of the Royal College oi Surgeons, England ; Licentiate of Dental Surgery, Ireland ; fuliy diplomed. I The well-known specialist on the Teeth and Mouth, From Collins street, Melbourne, and Bots»ny street, Sydney, will arriv# in Ashburton, and may be consulted at his office that will be token on his arrival in the principal street, from 10th to 16th September only, accom panied by the most complete staff ever formed for the purpose of Dentistry, among whom may be noted Mr Myers, the famed artificial teeth maker, and Mr J. Mitchell, the adept tooth setter, besides other assistants. His Buccesa in the most difficult cases where-others have failed may be noted in the leading newspaper in the Australian Colonies. DR SINCLAIR undertakes the cure of hare-lips, cleft palates and all diseases of the mouth. DR SINCLAIR being accompanied by two first-class me chanical assistants will make artificial teeth on t e spot, and by fitting and ay ing them in before finishing, preclndes all chances of misfit. DR SINCLAIR, having just returned frem England and America, has brought such magnificent appliances that will enable him to make artificial teeth on gold, celluloid, vul canite, platina, centennial, etc., as made in America, and superior to any made in the colonies. DR SINCLAIR is so confident of giving satisfaction that he will accept of no remuneration unless i perfect fit is obtained. DR SINCLAIR make his artificial teeth at such a moderate price as to defy competition. DR SINCLAIR having administered the gas to over L5.00J without a sinJe accident, can guarantee it to be perfectly safe. DR SINCLAIR las invented the Estl.cematheaic fluid for ;he painless extraction of teeth. DR SINCLAIR'S Artificial Palates do not injure the mouth jut preserve it. DR SINCLAIR iaa invented the "Acoustic Palate," which Materially improves the voioe, rendering t purer and more distinct ; specially idapted fur actors, actresses, speakers, ind to all those to whom a clear, distinct roice is necessary.

DR SINCLAIR loes not keep patients waiting, but at iendsto them at once, ma'<iqg their arti icial teeth at seven hours' notice. CONSULTATION FeEE. Patients requiring artificial teeth and »old stoppings, in order to secure atten lance, should call on the first day of bis iristt, as Dr Sinolair is compelled to refuse i number of orders on account of patients' lelay. Testimonials from the leading men in America and Australia may be inspected. Inspection of most m gnificent appli mces—the finest in Australia—is invited. In order to ensure entire satisfaction to ihe inhabitants of Ashburton, Dr Sinclair will return to Ashburton on or about loth October, so as to personally see how patients have suc.eeded with the artificial teeth made. Note—No new work will be undertaken on his second visit, as Dr Sinclair will only bring such tools a.% necessary for making alterations. Note—A footman will be in attendance in order to shew patients into the sur gery, with the utmost privacy. On account of the prevailing erroneour idea that it is necessary for the gums to Bhrink before inserting artificial teeth, Dr Sinclair begs to state that he has adopted the latest American printiple, by which n.eans artificial teeth are inserted by im plantation. This enables hM to make the artificial teeth so steady and secure that they can never alter, whilst the gums are not even interfered with. Testimonials and American pamphlets to the effect that this method surpasses all others may be inspected. . Patients oan therefore have their teeth out in the morning and replaced in the evening, and can rely that what they hear re shrinkage of the gums is altogether at fault. It is impossible to explain the new method in an advertisement. Patients are therefore invited to have it explained J personally. E. F. HODGSON, 7 1419 Agent.

Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER, This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to aity<* thing yet discovered for eradiotating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the moat economist, as well as the simplest plan in the world for-the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the'farmer can secure-the health of his stock at the rate of Id per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre« paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpi of tbs Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener ’.n Europe, America,-and the British possessions in all parts of the Globa. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. v ; Asa Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household posts* such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fan. Mid insects on birds of all kinds* from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl, and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in ft dry state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a shoe Of bread, and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermift# while the household pets such as oats and dogs will not toush it in any form, and iati therefore perfectly safe. _ The above marvellous discovery has gained for Hetman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at . the , jiteroolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite uf the medical faculty in Europe.

The Champion Binder is a maci'iine raado for Hard Service, and upon this, pre eminent fact the reputation of all Champion Machines is founded. The Catting Ap, paratus is acknowledge to be immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvester. The finger bar is of angle steel and the fingers of wrought iron. The Platform Belt runs within half an inch uf the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey the shortest crop in good manner. The Butter Belt employed on some machines is a rickety, rapidly running arrangement, and is superseded in the Champion Ly an iron Butts Packer, durable and effective. The Main Wheel is very high, has a broad tire, I and the bearing in the centre is IGin long, is vastly superior to the main wheel of i any other binder, and will run a dozen years, and not cant over or get loose and I shaky. The Elavating Belts on other harvesters are nearly perpendicular, on the : Champion, however, the angle is very slight, requiring much less power to elevate the grain, and it is not necessary to run the belts so together, the heads of the | grain are not broken off or shelled out. These features are only found in the Cham* | pion, and every farmer will realise their importance. The Binding Mechanism Is ft i combination of the best know systems, and is thoroughly perfected. The makers of the Champion control the Appleby patents, and all harvesters using this system pay them a royalty. The Champion contains other improvements too namerou to par* ticularise, and must be seen to be appreciated. The Expensive Materials used in the Construction of this Harvester make it the Most Costly of any made, but it is decided to MAKE THE PRICE THE SAME AS THOSE ALREADY IN THE MARKEXj AND t SPECIAL TERMS Will be made to Farmers ordering for Next Season.
