fllHlfi CURATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE SOLOMON SOLUTION I when used on Horses, Oatfcle, and dogs may be gathered from the Octavia Villa, Howe Crescent, Albert Park, Melbourne, March 11, 1892 For nearly three years I have been a martyr to Rheumatic Gout. Six months of that period I had positively lost the uae ot 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 Drysdaie. About three weeks ago I was induced to use your Solomon Solution, and am now enabled to walk without any assistance whatever, l write thia trusting that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers to Jg*« « » tnal lam, sincerely yours, GEORGh A. PAIIftKoUJN. f RESS REPORTS. Melbourne "Sportsman," June 14, 1892 • Mr Prank O'Donnell, the well-known breeder of Gooroo, Victoria, has a mare by Kohinoor from Lady Hercules, by Hercules from Princess Royal, who some time ago got one of her hind legs entangles in a wire fence, and smashed her shin bone very badly, io use Mr O'DonnelFs 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 ifr would do. Some little time after using that well-known remedy, a piece of bone about four inches lons atuck out of the wound, which has since completely healed. The mare a leg is now as sound as ever it waa' The piece of bone 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 in ltß broadest, and is exactly four inches in length. A more marvellous case in which a cure was effected has not come under our notice." .,„„ „ . ,« loft , Adelaide " Express," April 10, 1893. "In connection with last Saturday's racing on the Old Coutse, Mr C. N. Kidman, the owner of Lovelocks, attributed the mare's victory in the Steeplechase to the use of Solomon Solution, with which he treated her legs. He atso says that by the aid of.this valuable remedy he brought round Ellerstone, who scored a recent victory at Port Pine, and he speaks in the highest terms of this restorative, which it will be remembered was tried by Mr Wallace on the champion Carbine, who, hoWevec, was suffering from a damaged foot, tor which there was no cure when he retired from the rasing arena. Ihe Arab also, who has exhibited such very mirked improvement of lute, was saved fo t racing purposes by the use of this Soution, and his legs wera so ba,d that the sfcen eh was verpowering, and in this case the cure appears to have been a remarkable one.

H. Rule, Ashburton: —The> filtei; consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer Cylinder of glazed stoneware, the latter eei'ving to collect and retain the filtered waiter. The idea of using a porua stone in J his particular orm is a Very good one, giv; ing the perfection of mechanical filtering together with grea facilities for cleaning. : Its capacity as t filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with th c most satisfactory results. Recent investigations on the subject of filtering havi j shown that it is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even who, i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter icsj; j]f is a very credi table example ot colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up, A, W. BfiOKERTON, 1 27 (Colonial Analyst.
