COMMERCIAL.

ASHBURTON MARKETS*

Mr David Thomas reports upon the livo stock market in the Ashburton county for the week ending July 9 :—On Tuesday, at the Ashburton yards, the usual weekly sale was held. The attendance was fairly good for the time of the year, and amongst those present were a number of buyers whose biddings were much brisker than of late. The yarding of sheep was made up princi pally of crossbred ewes and hoggets, with an odd lob of two-tooths. For crossbred ewes there was a keener demand, and any good eorts were eagsrly picked up, at 10s, 103 3d, 10 i 6d, to 11s ; hoggets, well woolled and in forward condition, sold from 61 to 91 per head above last week's rates. There n stili a big demand from outside buyers for hogge a and two-tooths, which, in ail pro? bability, will mean farmers going elsewhere to get their supply by the time the grass comes on, as large mobs have already left this district. The total yarded for the day consisted of 4210 sheep, 22 head of cattle, and 3 pigs, my entry comprising 1860 sheep and 12 head of cattle, which I sold ab the following prices :—F.it sheep—l four-tooth wether 12s 6d, 35 fat crossbred ewes 7s, 67 at 7a, 39 at 7s 3d, 15 fit merino ewes 6a 2d, 46 at 33 4d, 50 at 7s, 34 at ?<s 6;1, 7 fat cross bred ewes 14s 4', 1 fa wether 17i 91, 1 fat two-tooth 11s, 7 lambs 5s 11- Store:!— 3 cuU two-tooth 2a lid, 200 two-tooth wetheca 8i 4d, 262 crossbred lamba B*, 200 two-tooth ewes in lamb 9s, 131 two-tooth ewes in lamb 9s, 147 four und six-tooth ewes in lamb 9a 6d, 123 six and eight-tooth three quarterbred ewes Us, 201 four and six-tooth ewea in lamb 10a 7d, 284 four and s^x-tooth ewes in lamb 10a sd, 47 fat erossbreds 14a 7d.

ALL OVER THE WORLD. ■»♦ William C. Herbert, "U. S. H.^Ta&es Ayer's Sarsaparilla with Him Everywhere. Disordered Blood and Bad Stomach Cured Positively and Permanently. That is what Ayer's Sarsa pariUft did fox Past Assistant Engineer Wm. C. Herbert, whose portrait is here given. Mr Herbert haa teen an officer in the U. S. naval service for the past 16 years. His dutKave taken Mm all over the world, and he has been on a constant go for several veara: through the Dardanelles, around the famous rock of Gibraltar, in the Melfterranean! through the Suez Canal, about the South Sea Islands, in Hawaii, r^und Cape Horn, to South America, AMca-everywhere, almost, under the sun he has cruised as a navy officer. On his return from one of his voyages the strain told on him His blood was in a very bad condition, and hia stomach was weakened, and, as he says, he was " knocked out." Mr. Herbert says: " Although I look very heaity now, four years ago my health and physical con dition were anything but good. Then it was that I found the constant knocking about had at last told on me. My blood was very poor and my stomach as bad. 1 had been cruising about in the service for a long time without any rest and without ceasins from my duties. Frequent changes in water and climate, such as I experi enced, will weaken and debilitate the strongest of us, and I was no exception. In fact I was completely run down, and when I came home my family insisted on call ins in the doctor. He prescribed for me and did all he could, but nothing came of it and I crew worse. As my blood seemed chiefly the cause of the trouble I thought I would give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a trial, seeing it advertised to cure such cases. I took a bottle in an aimless sort of a fashion, tut when I found it helped my stomach and was commencing to clear my blood, too, I thought there mig^t be some real merit in it, and accordingly began on a second bottle. Well, to make a long story Short, the third completely cured me and restored me to my old-time health. My Wood was better than ever, and my stomach did not bother me in the least. Ayer's fiaVWwilla cured me. Now I take it whenever I feel that my system needs it, and I do not consider myself equipped for a cruise anywhere without a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It has, I assure you, my hearty indorsement and recommendation." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, T3a© Only Tru© Blood-Furifler.

SAJST>I&** «Se sons Euca lypti Extract. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. la order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTBAO i\ which ia recognised by )he medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and GreifswaUJ, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schu'z, Professor of Parmacoiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Gteifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lisler, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Mclotire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of Amerio, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SOW'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be clashed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicamenr. The^-e so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are v- ed for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced iv specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oilf, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of ] croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal j inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are assailing. For safety always ask f.>r SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well teafced, andreliabiepreparation. —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS.
