A REVOLUTION IN MAKING BREAD, CAKES, ETC- Letters Patent by the New Zealand Government. '"PHIS is an article titherco never seen jsl nor heard of m New Zealand, It has, however, by expending a largd sum of money and a great deal of trouble, found its way to the colonies, and will, without doubt, be a great benefit to those who bake their own bread, etc. It super sedes all Self-raising Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, etc. j BREAD made this way will keep Moist and Soft for a week, and will be a great Saving m a lar^e family.



OJNE WORD, 1* COME to you with a small affair I that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countries myself and wares are well known. Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence.' I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure—an absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can be fonnd m this year. The cure is so small m it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its jlimit when relief comes—that it has become a marvel of its time. One and i a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to ccmmeree as Dr Haydock's New Livef, Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold atj 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try :]iem, before you purchase.
