Although 1 would much prefer at the present time to take no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre sented to me is almost of the nature of a command to discharge a public duty. I therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton I shall, if returned, be prepared to support whatever measures he may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as would conduce to the establishment of any industry which gave promise of fl mrishing in the land ; but I would object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse wheneveJ that support might be withdrawn. 1 should vote for the purchase of the District Railways, at an equitable price, as between the shareholders of the railways and the ratepayers of the colony, and would advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should never have been placed upon the Statute Book. The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast I regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the Government should take in hand immediately, should it not be taken up by a London Syndicate, Upon the question of Federation, I am of opinoin that New Zealand should, as far as possible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter mined by a Federal Council should bo limited to defence against a common enemy, the exclusion of European criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other matters in which there could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G.

From Rev, Charles 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 1 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 cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most 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 0. F. Salter, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor — Inglis’ Buildings, Christchurch.

The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This Is cm pecially true of a family medicine, and it i positive proof that the remedy imitated Is o the highest value. As soon as it has tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imifaHmw sprung up and began to steal the notices la which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stun instead, expecting to money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others tacted nostrums put up in stmt lar style to' H.B, with variously devise names in which the word “ Hop ’ or "‘Hopa. were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All m-h pretended remedies or cures, no matt» what their style or name is, and especially with the word “ Hop ” or •* Hops * in name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be ware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the w> ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass.
