Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, New South Wales Queensland, and New Zealand ; and the principal claim set fourth was its being made Oval to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face o: these patents, firms—many of respecaltrj ' standing-—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro duction of various spurious imitations which render them liable to actions at law and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any person erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are verj explicit; therefore, after this notice nc excuse can be made.

Medical. Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button. ” It has been in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from eething or other causes. Bo sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. I^-d. —Depot, 493, Oxford street. is Mrs. WINSLOW] As this ’ ’ question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upAvards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and AA'ants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical kno\Adedge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the boAvels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. WinsloAV is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs WinsloAV has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and Ave sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn Avill share its benefits and Amite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. VTnslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now. — Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NE WER, noAv being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or AAdiite hair to its natural original color, for it will positively ’restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, Avith out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes groAvth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a AA-eek or two Avill surely restore faded, grey, or AA’hite hair to its natural color and richness, It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even Avhite linen, but produces the color Avithin the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one boctle of the Mexican Hair Rene Aver I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color,” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London. /COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— \j These Pills consist of a careful and peciAliar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, Avith the pure ex tract of the floAvers of the camomile. They Avill be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and boAvels, Avliich produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the li\ r er and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy seci’etion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, Avhich, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet Avith an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and boAvels. To Europeans op their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal di&qr.d,eivj peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined Avith the strictest attention to diet, will bo frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secrer tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver Avhich is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood - that these pills arc not recommended as containing any neAV lor dangerously active ingredients ,• on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon, the apknoAV ledged peculiarity of tlieir composition. They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations Avith an .extraordinary degree of success for upwards of aeyenty-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may bp hafl throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is l|d, 2s 9d, 4s fid, and 11s Od, as well as in India, China, New Zealand, and the Australian Colonies.
