Business Notices. i HYDROPATHIC ESTABLISHMENT ASHBURTON. , N thanking the Publio for their liberal i support during the short season I have opened this business for the treat* '"an* of ALL DISEASES by the system of Hydropathy, I have pleasure m announcing that we have been successful m all case,-; taken into the establishment. Among the various cases, we have had congestion of rhe lungs, chest, liver, stomach and kidney complaints, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, bronchitis, influenza, inflammation, bad legs, neuralgia, weak ness and debility. The following is one of the many testimonials :— Christchurch, November 30. 1894 I have great pleasure m testifying to the good results obtained from the course of baths and treatment adopted at Ms Rule's Hydropathic EsUhlishment. My wife had sustained % very severe attack of bronchitis and congestion of the lungs and was evidently sinking from exhaustion when she became an inmate of the above institution. After a fortnight's baths and skilled nursing she quite recovered m& was able to resuma her domestic duties Too much cannot be said m praise of the care and attention bestowed upon patients by Mb and Mrs Rtjlr and trained nurses and both attendants engaged.—E H Bkown. w. h"rule, PROPRIETOR THE DENSMORE THE WOBLD'S GEEATEST TYPEWRITER.

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 ofcure^— an absolute one—-for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief eomes~-that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy^ m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydock's New Livee Pill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as 16w as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents.
