FALSE MARKING OF CUTLERY.

Tb ere has lately been a recrudescence of the practice of marking cutlery and files made abroad with the name of Sheffield, and it hat extended from Germany, the original offend er, to Eussia, America, and other countries. It appears that W- A. Colley (Lim.) of Sheffield, recently received a call from the rapresentativfts of certain cutlery manufac turers in Solingen who offered to supply table-knives of common quality, stamped

with the words " Warranted Sheffield," on condition that such goods were consigned to countries other than England. Mr Colley was taken aback somewhat at the cool manner in which this transaction was pro-

posed, »in | Sheffield itself of all places, but on second thoughts he determined to test the offer with a view to securing evidence for a prosecution. He accordingly placed an order with his visitors for several patterns of table-knives. It is interesting to note that in Mr Colley's opinion the only pattern which could be described as cheap was one having a solid 'metal handle, a description of knife which is nofc made in Sheffield. Goods equal in quality and finish to the other may be bought as cheaply in Sheffield, a fact -which lends colour to the contention 'that whatever may have been the case ten years ago^ at the present time buyers obtain no advantage from patronising foreign cutlery, although tradition still lingers in the minds of many factors that whatever is foreign is/ necessarily cheap. Mr CoUey's order was ultimately executed, and he now holds evidence im plicating several German firms, which he is advised is strong enough to secure: con viction. As the fraud affects no individual Sheffield maker, but the whole trade, Mr Colley asked the Cutlers' Company to under take the prosecution, but he was informed that he must first guarantee 75 per cent, of i the estimated cost of the proceedings. Mr Colley thereupon decided to prosecute through his own solictors, and to make all appeal for financial assistance to the local cutlery, file, aud v tool manufacturers, who have responded in most hearty fashion, the whole of the required sum being promised or subscribed. Mr Colley points out that the most effective way of stamping out false marking, where fraudulent use is made of the name cf Sheffield instead of a partic ular firm, is to demonstrate to unscrupulous traders that the Sheffield firms are united in a resolve to set the law in motion against them. It may here be stated that the at» tempt recently made 'by the Cutlers' Com pany to create a fund for the protection of the name of Sheffield against piracy baa fallen through, although it stated with good prospect of success, and that the sub scriptions have just been returned to its supporters. ■ . • The discovery, even so far as it has gone, raises some points of deep interest to the trade of Sheffield. Mr Colley gathered from his visitors that consignments of their fraudulently-branded cutlery had been sent to our colonies, chiefly Australasia, and the presence of these gentlemen in England . suggests that they do a considerable trade with British —but not Sheffield—-factors. This being so, people are naturally asking what the Customs authorities are about to allow falsely marked goods from continental ports to be admitted, but the answer to this is that; for some time tlie operation ol the Merchandise Marks Act, so far as goods touching our ports in transit only is oonceriifcd, hue been practically suspended. •

THE GREAT THROAT AND LUNG CURE. Tussicura.

The truo secret of health lies in the pre vention of disease, and for this leason a medicine which not, only cures complaints, but prevents the development of more serious trouble, possesses v n>"'-'al value. Of all such Eomedies TUSSIuUKA takes pre-atiiinence, and the phenomenal success it has achieved more than justifies its claim to support. No matter how Severe a Cough or Cold may be, a dnso of this wonderful preparation will give instant and permanent relief, acting as it does upon the organs affected and rendering capable of doing the work ordained to them by Nature. It should be remembered that TUSSICUBAis in no sense a " quack " medicine, but is the invention of an experienced pharmacist, who has given special attention to the study of the throat, lun«s, and bronchial tube 3. A single trial is sufficient to prove its effi cacy, and those who are suffering from any of the complaints which this mixture pro fesses to cure should not neglect to try it.

MERINOOLA,

This is the name of a new cloth for ladier blouses, delightfully soft and warm, manu factured by the Kaiapoi Woollen Factory. It is made in a large and beautiful variety ■ of patterns and colourings. " Merinoola is made from the purest and finest merino wool grown in New Zealand. This wool, ' while upon the sheep's back, has been bask ing for months in the sunshine on the open and sunny downs and uplands of Canter bury, and has impaited to the cloth much of the warmth and mellow qualities so essential to health and. comfort. Invalids and delicate persons who suffer from cold and frosty weather of winter, will find this an ideal cloth to wear. . " Merinoola " ready made blouses excel lent in style, fit, and finish, are now made in large quantities in the Kaiapoi Company's factory. " Merinoola" can be obtained from all the leading drapers throughout New Zea- ; land.

* BUSINESS NOTICES G j FLOATING KIDNEY, DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, h. NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK MR ERNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows:—" To Proprie ~ tor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both \ to you and also suffering humanity to make | known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, an«J chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for , treatment, and in fact I have iodine and other things in the house now that weae supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint men tioned I used to suffer at times most ex cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medi cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About s|x years ago after playing in a foot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands were I free. Suffice to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the con- dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA * STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL."

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 d 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 e<ime into the shop where I was employed. II = remarked " Jack, you look very ill," niul you may depend I wa3. He added, Will you take some' medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly 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.
