Read opinions of Government Inspectors ■ ' ' of Stock. Blenheim, Mablbobou<jh. In re your remedy for Foot-Rot I have no hesitation m saying it is the moßt effective I Ie have met, and has been used m the dietriol under my charge with tbe best results. I have recommended and aball continue to Br recommend it to any owners of *beep affeoted with Foot-Rot, a disease wbioh I regret to say ib so often neglected until ii takes euch n strong hold on tbe flock that it oan no longer be ignored, when it might have been easily put down at itß firßt appearance by a little attention and the use of your remedy. JOHN MOOBE, „. Inspector ot Stock February 28, 1895. Department of Agkicultubb, Hawera. In reply to your reqaeet as to my reporting to you my opinion of the result of your dressing sheep at Mr Lyeaght's an Mr Nicholas' with your Foot-Rot Specific, 1 have every confidence m Eaying that the cure was a perfeot one, although the weather waß very wet and stormy, and tbe examination was only six days after the feet had been dreßsed. Some of the sheep were very badly affeoted, nearly the whole of the foot having rod ed off. I should recommend ail sheep owners to use your Specific if their sheep are troubled with Foot-rot, B 6 it is easily put on, and I am sure it will give satisfaction.— l remain, youra truly ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspector of Stock, June 22, 1895.

Quite right, there is no more necessity to blend tea than there is to blend butter or pepper. Suratura tea is sold to the public ap pore and as f teah as if it had been grown m your own garden About to be Married — It is a good suggeßtion and will be considered Memo.— A written guarantee that Suratura is not blended with China or India, can be obtained if neoessary NOTICE OE REMOVAL. 8 \I7HILST heartily thanking my vv numerous Friends and Customers for *he liberal patronage they have accorded me during the last six years m the Arcade, I earnestly solicit a contlnu* ance of their favors m my NEW PREMISES, NEXT DOOR TO MR SALEK, EAST STREET, Where I keep nothing but the very best BOOTS AND SHOES, And decline to give shop room to rubbish REPAIRS A SPECIALTY.
