THE OtTRATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE SOLOMON SOLUTION when used oo Horses, Qattle, 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 orutches 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 en vbled to walk without any assistance whatever 1 write this trusting that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers to Rive it a trial lam, sincerely yours, GEORGE A. PATTERSON. fRESS REPORTS. Melbourne " Sportsman," June 14, 1892; 11 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, lo use Mr O'DonneU'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 it would do. Some little time after using that well-known remedy, a piece of bone about four mcnes 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 m 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 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 he treated her legs. He also says that by the aid of; this valuable remedy he brought round EUerstone, who scored a recent victory at Port Fine, and he speaks in the highest terms of this restorative, which it will be remembered was tried by Mr Wallaca 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. Ihe Arab, also, who has exhibited such very m irked improvement of late, was saved for racing purposes by the uae of this Soution, an 1 his legs were so bid thab the sfcen eh was verpowerinz, and in f-his case the cure appears to hive been a remarkable one.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christehurch, NZ.,Dec. 30, 1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. H. Rule, Ashburton :—Tha 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 retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form ?s a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with grtab facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter 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 whei 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 fa very neatly got up.
