Australia, whose portrait is given above: 3me years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general .S3 ot the system, being so badly affected that I feared even to go ne room to another, on account of the strange objects that appeared before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without •nefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took vice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. * was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits .ned, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might at several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla ike beneficial results.

BEP O B T ON WAI-BONGOA NATURAL I MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, j Bottled only at the Springs, ! NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. /GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES-Ifc Is Invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced. I may compare the Wai-rongoa Springs to bhe celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
