MedicaL I r\ N B WORD. | Dxar Fbibhdb— We have some hesita- tion m addressing you m the manner fol* . lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at m any invidious light, when we state that It is only our kegard for your health that causes us to do it. We have . been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long : course of thia time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on eolentliio formula and absolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How sue* ceroful we have been m thia, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand is because we find m Haydook 1 New Lives Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Viotories of Solenoe — ' Bleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter, So, although there # are countless j Pillo ÜBed for diseases and olalming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootors, whose vast doaes of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyie the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with o&«» or two of hia extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook s New Liver Pills suffices to place i the stomaoh m perfect order oreates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver ia affected iia funo- tiona are restored, and if the Nervous Syatem is enfeebled, it ia invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

THE following Certificate has been receWed by Mr S, Slesinger, Veterinary Surgeon : — " Wellington City Tramways, " Wellington, 23rd May, 1887. "Mr Samuel Slesinger, V.S., Dunedia. *' Dear Sir, — I bave, as you are doubtlecs aware, used your Horse Medicines for the last three or four years, and have found them very valuable. In my opinion your Colic Drinks, 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 dozen assorted medicines. " I am, dear sir, " Yours faithfully, ;"S. Smith, Manager." F. FEEEIMAN, AGENT,



EVERY MAN CAN BE HIS OWN HORSE DOCTOR, By using SLESINGER'S PREPARATIONS, As detailed below. FOR HORSES: THE Colic or Gripe Drink.— Horses are very liable to Colic or Gripe, and, if, eglected, this complaint may m a few hours erminate m inflammation, strangulation, k ympanitis, and death. This Colic Draught will give relief m less than two hours, and often within ten minutes. The Embrocation. — For the treatment of Cuts, Wounds, Bruises from Saddle, Girths, or Harness, Sore Shoulders, Strains, Spr?ins, 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, Kidney*, Bladder, Liver, etc. I 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 j and, unless a post mortetn examination is ma c, does not know that his Horse suffered from these reptiles. On all occasions, wheu the animal is poor, m low condition, hide-bound, or occasionally passing a worm, give one of tnese Powders night and morning, as directed on each tin. The Blister Oin'mcnt is superior to any , other. After using it, he 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 irfiammation 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, Caiker. Corns, Thrush cr 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 avoidedliy r using this Oil daily, or two or three times a" week. The Grease Ointment. — For the cure of Grease, Crown Scabs, Rat-tail, Mallenders 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 i 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'er of application. By keeping a supply on hand, which costs but very' 'Ule, you can cure your Horses yourself w . t nout the aid of a Veterinary Sur- geon. N.B.— Age does not affect the strength or ijuality of either medicine. O*All the medicines are sold by F. FERRIMAST, EAST STREET, ASHBURTON, Sole Agent. SLESINGER'S I Rheumatic Balsam. HpHE greatest discovery ever yet made for J- the relief of human sufferers from Mus- cular or Nervous Affec ion is SLBSINGER'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 ether day ; or to use hot, bold, shower, or Turkish Baths ; 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 t'ke such and such exercise, etc., etc. No ! Slesinger's Rheumatic Balsam jequires no such stipulation ! Eat and drink according to your own good sen c, and if yru only use the Balsam as directed on each bottle, m one dSy, and even m less time, or 'After one or two application?, 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 ruy 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 qu : te .sufficient m the worst of case 3, and often rrom 20 to 100 drops, according to the surface of the complaint, is sufficient for a cure* CERTIFICATE. Moray Place. Dunedin. Mr Slesinger, V.S., Hope Street. Dear Sir,- I have much pleasure m report- ing to you that, after having used your Rhcu- nr.atic 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, FERRIMAN,
