Lauriston, August 18, 1894 Mr Hesehine, Sir,—l think it is ouly right that I should tell you and my neigh boring farmers that I am thoroughly satis fied with Walker's Botfly Remedies I-got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad I drenched eight, following carefully the directions It oleaued them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I cun highly recommend it, and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had I believe it to be the only aafe and certain cure for the suffering of hoiaes .

"THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." fTIHE above heading has no reference to JL gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet gamo of whist for penny ! points and threepence on the rub, or of ! wagering a pair of four-button gloves on the ! four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, iv which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follow.- :— "Tea! Thou soft, thou pober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tougue -44 running, smile -soothing, heart-open- wiDk-tippling cordial, to whose " glorious relish I owe the happia&t " moments of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when ' they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, and* satisfaction which has been their lot since Sukatuka Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Sukattjra holds its high reputation because its "Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary.) It is grown, not made ; it- is not blended j with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Eence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. ;
