Had no idea Vitadatio could do for her what it has done. 4(110th April, 1899 " For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion, and what those of our sex know as general weakness in various forms and ways, accompanied by the usual gloomy foreboding* and, of course, us I find now, unnecessary cares of mind, producing nil kinds <f discouraging anticipations, in which the common impression would constantly intrude itself t bat life was not the flowery bed of ease that one used to read and sing about in one'B childhood's hours. My food did nob nourish the body, and I carried about with me, much to my discomfort, an emaciated form, and the common remark of my friends waß, 8 How ill you always look.' Although I would not admit the truth of their opinion, yet my own conscious feeling assured me of the truth of their observation. There were many other ailments which kept in check my former vitality and buoyancy of spirits, which need only be hinted at in a note suoh as this. In this stats of general debility I was advised to take a course of Webber's Vitadatio^ I took it regularly for about six weekt>, aad took, in all, the contents of six large bottles. These were from the first a great source of help and relief, and I began to put on flesh at the rate of ]£lb per week, and I now enjoy the very best of health. To any of my own Eex, especially those who are troubled with en nui, from whatever cause arising, I verily believe a course of Vitadatio will give them back the blessing of good health, such as I enjoy, and for which I desire to bo truly thankful. Vitadatio shall always have my strong recommendation,—Youra gratefully, M. Sergeant, Redfern, Sydney, New South Wales Price 5a 6d and 3s 6d per bottle." E. W.

And it is hoped that the young men themselves will appreciate the efforts now being made to establish an institution for their own benefit in Ashburton. As the youths of our colony become better educated, and elevated to a higher moral plane by such helps and associa tions as the proponed Olub will undoubtedly afford them, they will become more respected and better citizens. They wil! no longer be found loitering and wasting their mooey in questionable ways, and as " the apparel oft denotes the man" they will become more particular in the choice of their tailors. Messrs Cbaigheab and Bkhbyman are evidently keeping "up to date" as The Leading Tailors and Outfitters of Aehburtoo.
