In response to nnmcrnm rpq"«*«ts f"orn all sections ot New Zealand that I shr-uicUt nee afford facilities to acquire u.y at t of Assimilative rremory by Correspondence on the Single Book System, and at the price of ' -ne Pound Four Shillings each pupil, I have to state that all persons wishing to learn my system should put themselves into communication with Mr P; R. Dix, of Coombes* Arcade, Auokland, who will pro vide them with the required single book of instruction and any information necessary with the greatest possible despatch. 8 105 A. LOISETTE. OINK WORD, rOOME to you with a small affair that you may need. In England, the Oontinent, and many foreign countries myself and wares are well known, 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 of cure—an absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can be found in this year. The cure is so small in it self, and yet its comfort to you is so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes—that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, in the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydock's New Livei Pill. It is old in the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try lh@m, before you purchase.
