He luvettted Only 7s 6d There is a man who has spent the past I twenty-five years of his life exploring for gold and other minerals in Queensland, New South Wales,, Victoria, Tasmania, and New , Zealand. He has no doubt picked up some money, yet he Bays that the investment of 7s 6d brought him in bigger returns than any other he ever made. Yet, hold on a minute Don't let us jump to the conclusion tliob we can all get rich out of the proceeds of 7s 6i till we hear further from this financier. He has a humorous way of patting a serious thing, for which we should like him all the more.

Some folk have no idea that sound eeme and genuine fun are twin brothers, bat they are all the same: Oar friend's name is William Bromfield Peck, and he lives at, Russell, Mew Zealand, a Igor way off. He says it in a lovely country and intends to stay in it the balance of his days. As he landed in Australia, from England, in 1866, he has been there long enough to know what he is talking about. He advises persons of limited means who would like to become small landholders to emigrate to New Zealand. Still, he reminds as that in the end we must pay for what we get. The calling of a prospector, for instance, said Mr Peck, » is full of hard work. Besides, ie entails roughvliving, sush as salt junk, soddened damper, with tea in buoketfuls. One must have the digestive capacity of an ostrich or an anaconda to stand that diet for long. It must therefore he taken as proof of the good machinery inside of my system, when I mention that I actually stood it for nearly twenty-five yean. My punishment was delayed, you see, but it didn't fail. At last the climax came, and 1 was prostrated with agonising pain in the stomach and all the other symptoms of a profound derangement of all the digestive organs. I had to knock off work and cease all exertion. I was imbued with disgust with all things mundane. I believe that dyspepsia is responsible for a large portion of the world's suicides! Mr Peck's conjecture is exactly parallel with the fact as set forth in the official statistics of all civilised countries. No other disease bo demoralises and depresses human nature* It attacks the secret strongholds of the reason and drives people insane; it stupefies the sensibilities ; it turns men and women into Belfish, useless, nuisances; it impels them to commit crime. All this in addition to their own desolation and suffer ing. Yes, Mr Peck is quite right. But to get back to what he cays about himself. At the advice of a friend—Mr W. Williams of this place—l began to take the fat-famed Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. What result did it have? I'll tell you : It has transformed me from a prematurely old man into one quite regenerated. I am a rapid eater and can't break myselt of the bad habit. Hence I make it a point to keep a bottle by ire always and an oc casional dose when necesßary to set me yight* l can safely as*<;rt ihat the investment of 7s 6d in Moll W Seigels Curative Syrup was the best I evec made in all my chequered career. You may depend that I prescribe this medicine to all and sundry people I come in cuntacb with. Prior to using it I spent pounds at different, bub only got partial reliel The Syrup seems to make Straight for the seat of the trouble. I pen those lines just to show other sufferers the •way out. ' There are any number of re spectable persons here who can attest the truth of what I have written.—Respectfully (Signed) Wm. Bromfield Peck, Russell, Bay of Elands, New Zealand, J,aly 2, 1892. We don't call for witnesses. Mr Peck s tale is frankness and truth itself. We hold out our hand in greeting across the sea Dyspepsia is a living death, and Mother Seigel gives new life. Millions sing that chorus. *Aut he had better eat slower. Write aaain and tell us you are doing (so. Friend Peck

I WALKEB'S BOT-FLY EEMEDY. Chertsey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine. Agent for Walker's Botfly Remedies, Aahburton Sib,—l consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. Be got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that he could Roarcely stand. I carefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for bia work. lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal.— William Stbinqpellow. Lauriston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heeeltine, —Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Eemedieß I got from you. After seeiog the s fnte of the stomach of my bor-e that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock bs they nil looked bad, I drenched eigh", following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly ancl in a few days there was i wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would sdviso farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their boraca dropping dead as I had, I believe it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses



Tames Lemon Ashburton Fork?, Maroh 1, 1894 Mr J Headline. Sir—l em very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying herse. He was ailing for eoms days, hia coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was searoely able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a good de.al about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly after be grt the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and oan recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edward Cobbett Greenwood Farm, Soutbbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l atn «lad to bear testi tnony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my beet horses be came very bad; the ekin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition Aozious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became uo able to lift his feet or do any more. We bad to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, acd tnn treatment you pre. scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedieß, he would have died. You can use thin ftflvou nlease.



Bobkbt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heaeltioe, your agent, was a wonderful success. I bad lour horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous. I Btriotly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenohed two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stkwart Mr Gross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home be was dead. This season one took bad, also Bhowing the symptoms. He gave (he Remedy, and the ieoond day after, the horse pasaed bots in hundreds and is doing well.



Chertsey, April 12,1895 Mr Heseltine, Asbburton, Agent for Welker's Bot-fly Remedies Sib, —The remedies I got from you had a wonderful efftct on my horse, he got ao bad that I had to lay him up quite expeoting to lose him I tsied the usual remedies tut he only got worpe, at last I gave him Walkers with astonishing results, Bots oamo aw^y in handfuls and in a few days be was Learty and well from tbe effects of this remedy on my neighbours horses and my own I consider blessing !o horse owners and could the poor ufferina hoises speak they would certainly praise Walkers Bot-fly Remfdi; bas the beet I ever introduced inio tbis market Ji'HN DOWKIE Anams, April 3, 1895



Mr Heßeliine Sin, —I bave pleasure iitasti fvinpr to the wonderful cffeos of WaJket'e Bot-fly Remedies on my hi izee, They got very low in o >r>ditio", » <"ry coat, and very tight ekin, and lost all heart at their work.
