A Valuabli FiitD—Says the Napier leU^fdfhi—h. valuable fi id was mads on Friday evening by Kir O. Taylor, the well known fisherman of the Western Spit. Hie son called his attention to a deposit of foreign substance near his baok door, and he, having an idea thab it was valuable, had a piece tested. On elimination, ib was found to be ambergris (a morbid secretion of the int<»>tinei of the sperm whale and a fragrant substance use*! ia perfumery), The value of Mr Taylor's find is estimated at £6 per ounce, and as it weighs about 401 bs, it should realise a nice little fortune of between .£3OOO | and £4000 for the lucky finder. A later i issue of the above paper says ; —We under stand that there ia room for doubt as to the . genuineness of tha substance found a few days ago in the inner harbor and thought to be ambergris. Mr White, of Mr Welsman's establishment, has made a series of tests of a sample submitted to him, and in each case he failed to find any support to the amber gris theory. His conclusion is thab the sub stance is tallow, and thab ib is more likely to have come from the digester at the South British fre z ng works than from the sperm whule. Jf the standard descriptions of ambergris as having " an agreeable perfume" be correct, then certainly this eubstanoe ia nob ambergris, for the putrid stench emanat ing from it when handled is very offensive.

My life ab times was des paired of. Twice the sacrament was ad i ministered to me by our minister (the Rev. G. A. Carver). Life in itself was simply a burden. I was attended to by doctors in Wagga and Sydney who were very kind and did all in their pdwer to alleviate my suffer ings. After using " Vitadatio" the Hyda tids and Cysts were expelled from my body, and "I am thankful to say I have been restored to health and strength solely by the use of Webber's Vitadatio, I am willing that you should use this in any way you choose, hoping that it may bn the means ef leading others to try Webber's Vitadatio, I remain, yours re&peotfally, MRS H.

Poisoned ! Terrible Peelings. Loss of Sleep. i ■: ■ Impurities often accumulate in the blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of poisoning. , The appetite is lost, digestion weak , ened, and nerves exhausted. Mrs. F. Flynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and says: " I used to have terrible feelings come over me. The doctors could do me no good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, and I was a most miserable woman indeed. Haying read of AVER'S Sarsaparila I thought I would try it. To my great sur prise, after taking only two bottles I found myself very much better in every way. After taking six bottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured."
