ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr David Thomas reports upon the live itook market in the Aahburtoa county for the week ending September 20, as follows: —On Tuesday at) the Ashburton yards there was nn average attendance of farmers and others interested. The catalogues submitted consisted of 7237 sheep and! 38 head of cattle, of which my »ntry was made up of 4738 sheep and 14 head of cattle. Owing to the dry appear ance of the weather, biddings were slow, and * considerable number of sheep had to be passed! out anaold. Several really good lines of hoggets and ewes with lambs at foot had to be dealt with in this way. Buyers were particularly shy, and allowed sheep to be seal oat at fully Is 61 to 2i per head less than they would have realised at Tinwald the week previously. Should, raia come soon stock of ait sorts must rise in value, as there will be far more buyers than sellers in the coanty. The stock entered for the day was & marked improvement in quality upon last week'a entry, and the sheep sent forward by Mess-s K. G. Wright, J Coskerie, A Dawson, Moore and Clucas, Hardwick, Capon Bros, S. Thomas, Hay Smith, J Williams, J. Bowes, J. Brown, D. McKendry, H, A.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA CURES — Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Loss of Strength and Appetite, and Nervous Disorders. The following letter from Mrs. S. Gash, of Kent Town, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above, is additional testimony to the remarkable health-giving power of Ayer's Sarsapariilai "For two years or more I suffered considerably from indigestion, sleeplessness, and loss of strength and appetite. When I did sleep I was not refreshed, and I always had a severe headache in the morning. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and was more than pleased at the result, for after taking three bottles my complaints disappeared, and I have been in the best ©f health ever since. I can strongly recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to any one afflicted as 1 was," The wmderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other preparations called Sarsaparilla. Remember that imitation is the sincer est form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA •which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually in removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp toms of the grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
