The rise m the price of wool and the firm state of the London market will mean in* creasing returns of many thousands of pounds for the farmers of Canterbury alone this year. As a natural consequence, following the advanced oost of the raw material, all the principal manufacturers of woollen goods have recently issued revised price lists show ing a considerable rise m the prices of all S Tweeds, Coatings, Vicugnas, &c. Messrs Craighead & Berryman of fcbss town, how ever, with their usual foresight, took time by ( the forelock, and cabled Home direct early m May for a large shipment of the most fashionable Suitings for the approaching Spring season. They also secured large parcels from the principal New Zealand mills jast before the rise, and will give their customers the full benefit of their timely contracts. Messrs Craighbad and Berry man invite an early inspection of their New Goods. Their leading line of Men's Suits to measure for £3 10s, made up m their well known style and fib, should convince the most sceptical of their sterling values. "Ma Conscience."

Aa Editor* I,lf« Saved by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy During the early part of Ootober, 1896,1 ■ contracted a bad cold which settled on my , longs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared m an incipient state. I wai constantly eoughieg and trying to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed, and afber giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.—B. S. Eowabds, Publisher of "The Review," Wyant, 111, For sale by Ashbubton Drug Company The prevalent use of slang by all classes ol the community is aa astonishing as it it lamentable. Primarily it implies on the part of a speaker a poverty of English proper; secondly, a wanton preference fo the vulgar and the inornate ; lastly, culp able indolence and want of care. You maj do this with more or less impunity with language, but you cannot thus trifle with a cold or cough; for these Wood's Great Peppermint Cure is a tried and sure remedy Every household should possess it.

A Philanthropist !Dhe Agent-General of Vitadatio, Mr S A Palmer, has just intimated a moat remarkable departure. The works of Charles M Sheldon have sprung into prominence, and are attracting the attention of the entire English speaking races of the world and probably others. Mr Palmer, m his generosity, has arranged with the publisher! for a quarter million copies of this most noted author's works, and will send to any address m the oolonier, a copy, on reoeipt of twopence m stamps, or the five copies on receipt of six pence m stamps, which will only cover postage, packing, etc. Vitadabio's aim is nob only to cure tha people of diseases, but also to instruct and lead their minds to the nobler aspirations. The list of books is as follows j—"ln His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?" "The Crucifixion of Philip Strong,* " His Brother's Keeper," «• Malcom Kirk/ " Richard Hardy's Seven Days." Mr Palmer is certainly going out of the usual way to reach the people, and practical philantrophy speaks for itself. At anyrate, he is to be con mended.

SATSl>mtt £c »<m« Euca lypti JBactrnet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King ofltaly, »■ per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Olinioi and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract la the market, product! of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate:— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr> Mossier, Direotor sf the Medioal Clinicß at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aad freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinei, whiob are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through tae presence i>l adds. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases oi oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
