Ross' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. r| HE following unsolicited Testimonial f by a gentlsman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself : — , Master ton, 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 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; 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 mo 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. —I remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. 4&IDCIP1B1T! i JMtMI JIIlilLfL ! FURTHER EVIDENCE. JAMES THOMPSON, Masterton, states that he has' been cured of a long standing blood ailment, also running sore on the leg, by the use of Plantekoa Medicine and Ointment. Good for Thomp son. W. H. DEVONPORT, also of Masterton, was unable to wear his boots owing to broken chilblains, but his feet were quite healed with three applications of Plantekoa Ointment. Seems'wonderful, doesn't it. MRS J.ROW, Heatherlea, Levin, suffered from " nervous debility, extreme weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. One bottle effected complete cure." Plante koa the ladies friend. Do you suffer ? Plantekoa Remedies will Cure you, j Plantekoa Medicine, Ointment and Soap obtainable from any leading chemist or storekeeper. J.

We assert that every man should adhere to his own trade, as one cannot successfully cope with ten or twelTO different classes of business. If he attempts it someone's interests must suffer. Our business is the, • STOCK AND WOOL BUSINESS. We have been brought up to it, and it is well known that we are Experts, We do : not care what other firms do. We assert that we can show better averages than anyone else. Do not be led away or coerced into the belief that anyone can sell—such is not the case. Firstly—A man must be a judge of what he is selling. Secondly—He nau3t be in touch with values. Thirdly—He mast have the confidence of the buyers. Fourthly—He must have discretionary ability. Fifthly—He must be* capable of advising J his clients. Finally-—We assert that you cannot make an auctioneer. It is a gift, and good men are not procurable. Do not run away with the idea that any one can sell. Our experience is that per haps it is all very well on a rising market, but all markets are not rising ones, and the ' very one to which your consignment may coinn forward might be a weak one, and you may lose enough on that sale to amply justify your securing the services of the best man. We look after all consignments as though they were our own, our clients being our first and only consideration.
