How sue* osseful we have besn m this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of oui Htkydockt NeV lilvei Fill. We have the pleasure to strte that we have sold 28,083 Viala of Dz Haydook's New Liver PlUft. The reason of this de. mand is beoause we find in' Haydook' New Live? Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Soldnoe— Etaotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet' tor. So, although there are oountless Pills nsed for diseases and olalmlng muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook haa eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootore, whose vast doses of four oi five pills enfeeble the itomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Di Hay. dock's New Liver Pills suffice! to place the stomach In perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, It is lurlgorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

JAM PRIMO. — + Some time since we published a smal paragraph en the unsatisfactory nature much of the jam retailed m the oology. This reaohed Messrs Klrkpatriok and Co., of Nelson, < and they went to work In a very practical fashion to pv-Ove that the jams manufactured by the firm were of the best quality. Two. cases of assorted 1 jams were sent to this offioe, with a re- quest that ire would thoroughly test the I jam along with other brands, and give onr opinion. We are happy to state, frankly and fully that, we nave been very mnoh surpriaed, aa prior to the receipt of Messrs Kirkpatrlok'a gift we were nnavrare that ISew Zealand could boast of an in- dustry of which It haH so mnoh reaaoa to be proud. Tha various aorta of jam were tested by a oamber of peraoDß, who compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdict la that not only are Messrs Klrkpatrlok's productions far aud away better than any other Hew Zealand brand we oan obtain, bnt they" are saperior to EngHeti jams m being fresher. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained m tins beating the name of a Tasmanian firm, bnt even In this com- parison the Nelson article came out a long way best. We are pleased to be able to give unstinted praise to a genuine local industry, the produot of which we oan unreservedly recommend to oonoumers. All of the many persona who have tested the samples are loud In their praise, and we mnßt unreservedly congratulate Messrs Klrkpatrlck and 00. upon turning out a genuine fruit jr>m fit to grace tha tables and please the palates of the most Juxuriuiiß and fastidious. — " Huwke's JB»y Herald, ''.lnly 18th. Saqaples of Jiirkpatrlpk and Oo'b "X brapd of jam have been forwarded to us arid we are free to confess that they appear to be m every way excellent and as they become better known m the local market wHI meet with much appreciation from the heads of households. The maker asserts that none but the purest f raits grown In Nelson are used m his manu- factures, and we are content to accept that assurance. Certainly the j»ms possess » richness and freenuess ut flavor that bears that assertion out. — Donedl
