We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have In the long course of this time manufactured certain Mediolnes that being based on scientific formula and absolnte care and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaoeutl- oal Preparations of the day. How sue- oensful we have been In this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the rales of oar Haydook a New Liver Pill, We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 23,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pilla. The reason of this de* mand Is because we find m Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated mediolne. The Vlotorles of Solenoe — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet* ter. 80, although there are oountlesa Pills nsed for diseases and claiming muoh m to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eolipsedthem all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDooton, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ow or two of btae^trajprdinjiKy. Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfect order creates an ' appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver it affeoted its func- tions are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, it Is Invigorated and j sustained. TRANSLATION.

'T'HE followhsg Certificate has been receired 1 by Mr S, Slesinger, Veterinary Surgeon t" " ' •• Welßngton City Tramways, " Wellington, 23rd May, 1887. MMr Samuel Suesinoer, V.S o Dunedln. " Dear Sir,— l bave, as you are doubtless aware, ased your Horse Medicines (or the last three or four years, and have found them Very valuable. In my opinion your Colic DrUks, Worm Powders, and Hoof Oil cannot be surpassed. " I have great pleasure m recommending your medicines to all horse proprietors. " Enclosed please find order for 18 dozca assorted medicines. " I am, dear sir, " Yours faithfully, ;"S. Smith, Manage?." F. FEERIMAN, AGENT. \ EVERY MAN CAN BE HIS OWN HORSE DOCTOR, By using SLESINGER'S PREPARATIONS, As detailed below. FOR HORSES: TpHE Colic or Gripe Drink,-— Horses ire i. very liable to Colk or Gripe, and, if egleeted, this complaint may m a few hoars erminate m inflammation, strangulation, tympanitis, and death. This Colic Draught will give relief m less than twe> hours, and often within ten minutes. ' The Embrocation. — For the treatment oi Cuts, Wounds, Bruises from Saddle, Girths, or Harness, Sore Shoulders, Strains, Sprrini, Rheumatism, Windfalls, Swellings, etc. If either of these injuries or complaints be ne> glected for a few hours, they may take weeks to cure. The Condition Powders. — For restoring and keeping the Horse m good health, relieving Hide-bound, Surfeit, Mange, Grease, and Skin Eruptions, correcting a diseased state of the Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys Bladder, Liver, etc. The Worm Powders. — The Horse Is very subject to Worms, frequently unsuspected by the owner. Thousands of Horses die for the want of these Powders, and the owner is none the wiser for it; and, unless a post mortem. examination is made, does not know that his Horse suffered from these reptiles. Oh all occasions, wheu the animal is poor, m low condition, hicle-bound, or occasionally passing a worm, give one of tnese Powders night ana morning, as directed on each tin. The Blister Ointment is superior to any other. After using it, Ihe hair returns to its] natural color, and, unlike any other, no blemish is left. The Hoof Oils. — The chief cause of Lame- ness m Horses is some injury or defect m the Foot, which may cause inflammation of the Foot, and bring on other diseases, such as inflammation of the Bowels, Kidneys, Lungs, These Oils, if used m time, will prevent or cure brittle Hoofs, Sandcracks, Contrac* tion, Quittor, Canker, Corns, Thrush or Frush, Narrow Heels, Hoof-bound, Navicular Joint Disease, etc, all of which the horse is subject to, and is liable to fall and endanger the life of his rider. This may be avoided by using this Oil daily, or two or three times a week. The Grease Ointment. — For the cure of Grease, Crown Scabs, Rat-tail, Mallendera and Sallenders, or any Skin Eruption. DOG MEDICINES: The Distemper Powders are a Perfect Cure, and may also be given m other ailments. The Mange Ointments. — May be used for the Mange or any other Inflammatory Diseases of the Skin m the Horse or Dog, It may be mixed with four times its quantity of Neatsfoot Oil, being eas'cr of application. By keeping a supply on hand, which cost* but very ' 'Uie, you can cure your Horses yourself w .<nout the aid of a Veterinary Sur- geon. N. B. — Age does not affect the strength or quality of either medicine. SSTAll^the medicines arc sold by F. FEBRIMAN, | EAST STREET, ASHBURTON, Sole Agent. SLESINGEB'S Rheumatic Balsam. n"*HE greatest discovery ever yet made for J. the relief of human sufferers from Mus- cular or Nervous Affection is SLESINGER'S RHEUMATIC BALSAM. Of all the advertised remedies and all the prescriptions from the medical faculty for the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Scia- tica, Tic Douloureux, Neuralgia, Lumbago;, Strains or Sprains, Chilblains, or pains of any sort from the above affections, none have been so successful and effectual as aLESINGER'S RHEUMATIC BALSAM. And why ? you will ask. Because there is no nonsense about it. You are not asked to swallow so many pills or so many spoonfuls of mixture or draughts, 2, 3, or 4 times a day, or every other day ; or to use hot, cold, shower, or Turkish Bath* ; or to take or avoid this, that, or the other food ; or to drink only such and .such fluid, and not to drink anything else ; or to take such and such exercise, etc., etc. No ! Slesinger's Rheumatic Balsam requires no such stipulation ! Eat and drink according to your own good sen c, and if you only use the Balsam as directed on each bottle, m one day, and even m less time, or after one or two applications, you are relieved from your pain and sufferings, and you will bless the invent r of the Balsam. Furthermore, you are not asked to repeat the dose, that is to say, to buy another bottle or another box of pills. No ! nothing of the sort is wanted. One bottle, although small m appearance, but large m its effect, is qg ute: te sufficient m the worst of cases; and often rrom 20 to 100 drops, according to the surface of the complaint, is sufficient for a cure. CERTIFICATE. Moray Place. Duoedin. Mr Slesinger, V.S., Hope Street. Dear Sir,- I have much pleasure m report- ing to you that, after having used your Rheu- matic Balsam m cases of Neuralgia, Acute, and Chronic Rheumatics, 1 have found it really a useful remedy. I have, therefore, no hesitation m recom- mending the same for the above-mentioned cases. — Yours, etc., C. N. Reimer, Surgeon. F. FERBIMAN,
