HORSE MARKET

Mr T. Bullock reports for the week ending Saturday, May 20 : —There was a large entry of horses, viz., 41, but biddings throughout the sale were languid, and only 15 were aolu. a conti ast to the previous Saturday, when biddings were very spirited, and there appeared to be more buyers than sellers, especially for medium draughts of a good stamp, suitable for farm work. Amongst the entries to-day were a number of better classed horses, and the few sold fetched fairly high figures, as given below; but for inferior draughts it was dillioult to obtain a bid. Out of the total day’s entry (41) 15 were sold as follows ;—Medium draughts, rather light, but of a good stamp, £l9 to £23 ; a pair rather better, £2l each ; aged draughts, £4 5s to £7 ; do of a rather better stamp, £i) to £11; hacks, inferior, £6 to £l> ss; light harness horses, £1 10s to £0; scrubbers at low rates. Second-hand dray brought £l3.

AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICT-



Dear Kir, —Last year I sent a letter recommending Mother Scigel’s Syrup. I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Jityrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with mo ; but Mother Seigoi has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, and is still in ns great demand as when I first began to sell the medicine The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility.



A certain minister in my neighbourhood says it is the only thing which has 1 benefilted him and restored him to his normal condition of health after being unable to preach for a considerable length of time. I could mention also a great many other cases, but space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted to costiveuess or constipa tion, finds that Mother Seigel’s Pills are the only Pills which suit his complaint. All other Pills cause a reaction, which is very annoying. Mother Seigel’s Pills do not leave a bad after-effect. I have much pleasure in commending again to suffering humanity Mother Seigel’s medicines, which are no sham. If this letter is of any service you can publish it. (Signed) William S. Glass, Chemist. A. J. White, Esq.

My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Pills aro still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said “ Mother Sedge!” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, “one of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it.” The sale keeps up wonderfully ; in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel's Syrup, the demand is o constant and the satisfaction so great.

HOUSEHOLD REMEDY for Coughs, Colda, Bronrhitis, Influenza, and JL all affections of the Cheat, Throat, and Lungs. Remember —One dose taken in time may save a valuable life. Price—la Gd and 2a 6d per bottle. FTER several years’ trial, this NON-POISONOUS DIPPING FLUID is now universally admitted to be the best ever introduced. Its great superiority o<'er other materials consists in its cheapness, its undoubted efficacy in destroying all ticks, lice, and every insect that infests the skins of sheep or domestic animals, and in its cleanliness, and absolute hsrmlossneaa to those concerned in Its use. Being of an oily character, it is highly beneficial to the growth of the Wool, which it leaves soP, clean and bright, without robbing it of the yolk—its natural nourish ment—or leaving it harsh and dy, as is the case when alkaline mixtures, such as lime and sulphur, or arsenical prparations are used. It is entirely without the ruinous ejects invariably resulting from the use of such materials. It is not only non-poisonous, but may bo used internally for worm in the throat in lambs ; it wil also effectually cure foot-rot, and AS A SPKOIFIC FOR SCAB IT HAS NEVER BEEjS KNOWN TO FaIL. To those who dip in full fleece, this fluid will be found invaluable, for, being of a warm and protecting character, sheep will not catch cold, though dipped in the depth of winter. Prepared by E. O.
