Business Notices. -tncxAß WITHRUSSIA.—Atthe pret W sent juncture it would be difficule {» any one except a prophet of th t rank to eay whether or not the >t- negotiationsbetween England and _k will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of foil information aa to what is transpiring between the two countries ■ may inchoate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a ettwm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities, wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the general ad vance begins. In ord*r that wa may not be oaeght napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds , and other materails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which We ate prepared tooffar at unusually low prices for casta. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what



, ererboßy viz, that by oar soien t'dSe mode of, editing, and the care exer cised by ub in fitting the figure, a nrs-fit : is ig impoßsibility.—- Craighead and Co. , Merchant Tailors, Tancred street.

Windermere, 6th June, 1885. Gentlemen, —Year requisition, inviting me to stand for Wukanui, adds one more to the many tokens of goodwill whioh I have received from my fellow settlers in the County of Ashburton. Although 1 would much prefer at the present time to take no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as than whioh you have pre sented to me is almost of the uature 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 flourishing in the land ; but I would object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. I 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 tho 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 be 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. Chabi.es Penny — Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884 I am happy to sayjjyour 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 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 I order. I From C. F. Salteb, Esq., Barrister and , Solicitor— Inglia’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints.

I shall on all occasions have great pleasure In recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq,, Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, 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 subdu 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, eta I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping congh, etc. io highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.

KEATING, London [ The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es I 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 kn tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in 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 stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B v Many others tarted nostrums put up in simi i lar style to H.£„ with variously devise names in which the word “Hop ’ or “Hops were used in a way to, induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All pretended remedies or cores, no matter what their style or name is, and especially 1 with the word “ Hop ” or “ Hops ” in their name or in any way connected with 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 ‘ wl *te label, and Dr bouie’s name blown - in th glass.
