F, «Li€K, PRACTICAL WATCH & CLOCK MAKEE, EAST STREET, ASHBURTON. UNDER THE MANAGEMENT ~6¥ MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze Medalist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horologicnl Institute, London. First Award of Merit aa a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, London MR ANDREW BLACK w«s a student at the British Horological Institute, and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. " eve* He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing » valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. o All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK. Stopping and Troublesome Watches THOROUGHLY CURED. " BE SURE OF THE ADDRESS— F. BTiiJiLCK," -^ WATCHMAKER, ORR'S BUILDINGS *." tf Next door to Mr John Orr's Premises.

S, W., of the 30th March. It needs no comment :—• " Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountains writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons EucalypticExtract. He says :—" Seeingtht said Extract advertised m the 'Illawarrci Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from j Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and j that the use of it gave him great relief at | once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the xise of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract 1 cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the' Mercury.' We have much pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object m view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity. "—(Advt.) 6
