THE SIMPLE HONEST TRUTH; Octavia Villa, Howe Crescent, Albert Park, Melbourne. f March 11th, 892 Gentlemen,—For nearly three years I have been a mai-tyr to Rheumatic Gout. Six months of that period I had positively lost the use of my legs, and for two years I have been unable to walk without crutches'or sticks. I have had forty-eight electric baths, and spent three weeks at the springs at Drysdale. About three weeks ago I was induced to use your Solomon Solution, and am now enabled to walk without any assistance whatever, I wiite this trusting that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers to give it a trial. I am, sincerely yours, George A. Patterson. \ SOLOMON" SOLUTION Is the Most Recent and Wonderful Discovery as a Treatment for HORSES, CATTLE & DOGS. ; GUARANTEED TO CURE.

A, Parsons, Esq., Dear Sir,—l have used Solomon Solution for a very severe cut on the racehorse Crackshot, and can testify to its wonderful healing properties. It has the advantage of keeping the sore free of all discharging matter and inflamma tion, and though the wound was very severe no scar cr blemish has been left on the horse. I shall be happy to recommend the Solution to my friends.—lours truly, Charles O'Connor, Christchurch, May 23, 1892. A. Parsons, Esq., Christchurch.

All these qualifications can be obtained * at moderate prices without any trouble or * risk by purchasing nothing but the *. celebrated ZEALANDIA BRAND. a These Grand Boots are sold from r Auckland to the Bluff, and the universal n verdict is—the most satisfactory Boot m New Zealand, and the beat value. The finest material and best workman ship are employed, and so confident are the Manufacturers of the sterling quality ' of these Boots that they actually guaran tee every pair bearing the Zealandia Brand to give good wear. Should any pair fail, , the Retailer is authorised to adjust the ■ claim of the purchaser. I In addition to the every day lines, a large number of new lines has been . especially manufactured for the Winter Trade. Strong Farm Boots for Men and Women a Specialty, and attention is directed to the Splendid Stitched Water ti&htand Shooter Boots, very suitable and comfortable for country work. Boys 1, Girls', and Women's Boots of this Celebrated Brand m a great variety. Every pair is branded on the sole ZEALANDIA, This Brand has m the past been favorably known m the Ashburton i District, and m future the public can obtain full supplies at Mr Jr. Bishop's ZEALANDIA BOOT STORE, TANCRED STREET, ASHBURTON.
