BUSINESS NOTICES. , FLOATING KIDNEY, DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK M EARNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his mosi remarkable case as follows:—"To Proprk tor L'lantekoa. Sir, —I feel it my duty botl to you and also suffering humanity to malu known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, and 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 ggfc 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 six 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 cruzy. I have USED PLAJTTEKOA 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 1 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 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." Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper for it. Pull particulars and testimonials on ap-, plication to PLANTEKOA PROPRIETARY, Wellington, WANTED 'KNOWN—That for Real. Good Winter Boots and Shoes, at Reasonable Prices, call at J. Moison, for, as in the past, J.

IpliS Ross' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. following unsolicited Testimonial by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself :—- Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l 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 ulcera^d 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 yoxirs 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; 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. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. 1 J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messes Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Beos., Ashburton. Fob CV C L I|N G SHOES,] GO TO H.

An Incomparable Remedy. EVANS' WITCH'S OIL FOE 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, but the scope of its influence extends far beyond these complaints. For example, m 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 ar« inevitable if the necessary pallative is not at hand. Indeed, there is no ache or pain. to which the human frame is susceptibl* that Witch's Oil will not allay, and for this reason no household should be with out a remedy which may truly be de scribed as magical.
