Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I -was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; 1 replied, I will take anything. He brought n:<- a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it ticcordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton.

An Incomparable Remedy. EVANS' WITCH'S OIL FOR RHEU MATICS, LUMBAGO, and SCIATICA. Among the medicinal preparations which have, from time to time, been placed before the public, it can be stated without fear of contradiction, that there is none too sur pass Evans's WITCH'S OIL. As an embro cation in cases of Rheumatics, Sciatica, or Lumbago it is absolutely unrivalled, bat the scope of its influence extends far beyond these complaints. For example, in sudden attacks of Inflammation of the Bowels, Spasms, Cramp, or Colic the application of this mixture will afford immediate relief, . and avert the serious consequences that are inevitable if the necessary pallative is nofc at hand. Indeed, there is no ache or pain to which the human frame is susceptible that Witch's Oil will not allay, and for this reason no household should be with out a remedy which may truly be dew scribed as magical. Price—2s 6d per bottle. Sole Proprietor and Manufacturer S. J. Evans, Dunedin. Wholesale Agents for New Zealand** Kempthorne, Prosser and Co.
