" Dear Sir, —I am a poor hand at express ing my feelings, but I should like to thank you. Your loaenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of ' Tracheotomy ' (the same v.a the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; it was bo bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious and bard, has been aoftened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difficulty. —1 am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL.' A DOCTOR'S TESTIMONY. A DOCTOR'S TESTIMONY.

THE CELEBRATED & BEST BFANE MANUFACTURED FROM CHOICEST VIKGI IA LEAF "THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." THE above heading has no reference to gambling whatever, either in the w&y of playing a quiet game of *vhist 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, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows :— *• Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and (i venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile-soothing, heart-open " ing, wink-tippling cord'.al, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest •' 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 Subatuba Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Suratura holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended 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. Bence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR & CO., agents. WANTED KNOWN —Mrs Huffam having taken the premises lately occupied by Mr G.
