THE CURATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE SOLOMON SOLUTION when used on Horses, Cattle, and dogs may be gathered from the following:— Octavia Villa. Howe Crescent, Albert Park, Melbourne, March 11, 1592. _ For nearly three years I have been a martyr to Rheumatic Gout. Six months of that period I had positively lost the use of my legs, aud 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 Dryadale. About three weeks ago I was induced to use your Solomon Solution, and am now enabled to walk without any assistance whatever. 1 write this trusting that it may be the meaus of inducing other sufferers to give it a trial. I am, sincerely yours, GEORGE A. PATTERSON. PRESS REfORTS. Melbourne "Sportsman," June 14, 1892. 1 "Mr Frank O'Donnell, the well-known breeder of Gooroc, Victoria, has a mare by Kohinoor from Lady Hercules, by Hercules from Princess Royal, who some time ago, got one of her hind legs entangled in a wire fence, and smashed her shin bone very badly. To use Mr O'Donnell's own words :— ' I thought she was past all surgical aid, so bad was the smash. However, having some of the Solomon Solution by me, I tried what ifc would do. Some little time after using that well-known remedy, a piece o bone about four inches ong stuck out of the wound, which has fince completely healed. The mare's leg is now c sound as ever it was ' The piece of bond referred to was measured in our presence, and is three-eighths of an inch broad in its narrowest part and one inch and a half iv its broadest, and is exactly four inches in length. A more marvellous case in which a cure was effected has not come under our notice." Adelaide "Express," April 10, 1893. . "In connection with last Saturday's racing on the Old Course, Mr C. N. Kidman, the • owner of Lovelocks, attributed the mare's, victory in the Steeplechase to the use of - Solomon Solution, with which lie treated her legs. He also saya that by the aid of this valuable remedy he brought round Ellersfcone, who scored a recent victory afc Port Fine, and he speaks in the highest terms of this restorative, which ib will be remembered was tried by Mr Wallace on the champion Carbine, who, however, was suffering from a damaged foot, ior which there was no care when he retired frorh the racing arena, lne Arab, also, who has exhibited such very marked improvement of late, was saved lor racing purposes by the use of this Solution, and his legs were so bad that the stencli was overprwering, and in this case the cure appears to have been a remarkable one.'

TO STATS D ab Methven and TR.\ViiL in the Rakaia and Me.hven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRK AWAMOA. AWAMOA. is by ihe champion horse Young Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot laud, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact he is one of the best bred horsss in the world On oae side he is sprung Irom Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone wko pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sires were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. ha 3 never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, firs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Christ church and second at Oamaru ; a« a three year-old, first at Oamaru and champion of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru ; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. Season mares as per agreement. Groomage fee sa, payable first service. * All mares changing hands in any way, first owners will be held liable.
