Windermere, 6th Jane, 1885. ■Your requisition, inviting me to stand for Wakanai, adds one to the many tokens of goodwill which I have received from my fellow Pers in the County of Ashburton. Although I would much prefer at the present time to take no farther burdens sn my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre snted tome 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 be may bring forward in the interests of the Oolony. ;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object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collppse whenever that support might be withdrawn.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 wonld advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should never have been placed upon the Statute Book. V The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast 1 regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the Government should take in hand immediately, Id it'not he taken up by a Loudon Syndicate. thei question of Federation, I am of opinoin that New Zealand should, "«ible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter- Oral Council should be limited to defence against a common enemy, uropeau criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other ’could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests am,. Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT.

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

As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most rateable family medicine on earth, many inflations 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.
