Ashburtou has a'waj T 3 been to the fore, and it would belie its well earned reputation were some of its enterprising inhabitants to rest dor mant in these dull end depressed times without giving the public some thing to talk about. We require something start ling, and what is mure, we must have something which will do our eyes, our hearts, our pockets good. Who then can deny that the present busi ness which is being car ried on by a few of these enterprising business people, does not tend iu that direction. Jf there let your pockets be light ened, a'low your hearts to delight, and your eyes become bright at the low prices our goods are being sold at our busi ness premises,

Medical. : W O B L, | Dear Friend3—We have sooie hesita [ tion in addressing you in the manner {A- J lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it ia only our regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists-for many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on scientific formula and absolute care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the j sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr flaydock's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Hay dock's New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock's iSew Liver Pills suffices to place I the stomach in perfect order creates an ' appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it .is invigorated and sustained.



TRANSL YTION. Aykab, Prcvluoa of Burmab, 8.1.

I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suflered for years with billiouaness and have been so sick at times as not to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from ma only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no j appetite for five months, and to-day ho | ate a dinner such as api ughman eats. I had to check him, but he laughed and | said he was treating his stomach to a new I sensation, for it really was hungry. I I hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills. ! Mrs Sarah Manners, Carmi, i Uinois, U. S. We would gue you if we were to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydock's New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Haddock's New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. ! Each vial contains Twenty Pills.

Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, iLFFCTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER'S Lung Preserver.



TESTIMONIALS : From Rev. Chaeiks Penny— Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884. I am happy to say your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the coughwas so distressing) the first dose of your\Elixir proved moat effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else.



Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order.



From C. F. Salter, Esq., Barrator and Solicitor— Inglis' Buildings, Ohristchurch. March 20,1884 I have nsed yonr Pulmonio Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints.



From WiuaAM Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lang Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I have recoo. mended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. I have uniformly found a single dose of " Lung Preserver, check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind.



tfrom Isaao Ajxsh Esq. , Gommiesion Agent— r Hereford street, Ohristohurch, December 6, 1883. After seven years' experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your " Lung Preserver," having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, eta, a few doses invariably snbda ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, coldß, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. Bo highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.



From W. B. Scott, Esq., Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Chriatchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your " Pulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver," for tightness in the chest. I did so, aud from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer ia every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.
