Offices and Stores ; WEST STREET ASHBUBTON, THK 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, 1892 For nearly three years I have been a martyr to Rheumatic Gout. Six months of that period I had positively lost the use 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 Drysdale. About three weeks ago I was induced to use your Solomon Solution, and am now enabled to walk without any assistance whatever. I write this trusting that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers to give it a trial I am, sincerely yours, GEORGE A. PATTERSON. rRESS REPORTS. Melbourne "Sportsman," June 14, 1892 "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 entangles in a wire fence, and smashed her shin bone very badly. To use Mr O'Donneli'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 of bone about four inches long stuck out of the wound, which has since completely healed. The mare's leg is now as 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 in 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 Coarse, Mr C. IS. 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 also says that by the aid of this valuable remedy he brought round Ellersttme, who scored a recent victory at Port Pirie, 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, however, was suffering from a damaged foot, tor which there was no cure when he retired from the racing arena. The Arab, also, who has exhibited such very marked improvement of late, was saved for racing purposes by the use of this Soution, and his legs were so bad that the sten oh was overpowering, and in this case the cure appears to have been a remarkable one.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christohurch, N.Z.,Dec* 30, 1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. H. Rule, Ashburton:—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed stoneware, the latter serving to collect and i retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with great facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a niter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory , results. Recent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is » much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved ) itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up. A. W. BIOKERTON, 127 - Colonial Analyst. : ' i. ■ ■ ■'<..■.
