PLACE a lighted match under the arch, when it will produce a bright flame in ten seconds ; will also boil a quart of water, cook a rasher of bacon, chop or steak ; will burn for fifteen minutes and leave no murk on the grate ; no danger of explo sion, as kauri gum is its chief ingredient. It is a strong disinfectant; and where constantly used will effect a great saving in other fuel. Foil THE Sick Room it is invaluable. Ihero is no noise in the crackling of sticks to distract the patient, and no offensive odour, and it is of itself a trong disinfectant. For the Bkdhoom, where a lire is needed for a short time only, a few of these Kindlers will, without the least dirt or trouble, warm the room effectually in a very brief period. Fob tiik Mounikci Bath the luxury of warm water may be had at a few minutes' notice without calling in a servant's aid. Fob the Nksht NimsEJiY many a cold shiver hitherto received from rising ill the night to kindle a lire may now be prevented by the use of these unri valled Fire Kindlers, ten seconds only being needed to light the fire with a certainty of its burning up brightly at once. , ~ In the Paulouji .\su Dwawinh-jioom ladies may now be wholly independent of their servants for kin dling their fires ; and for reviving a dull lire these Fire Kindlers have no equal. One Kindler introduced into a dull lire brightens it up at once with a magical effect. „ ... In HoTKr.s and largo establishments of any kind where many Arcs are required the saving and comfort afforded by Williams' Fire Kindlers are invaluable. Foil BACUKLOIIK a world of trouble and no little storming at the housekeeper or landlady is to be avoided by the use of Williams' Fire Kindlers.

What is Nervousness ?—Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nevousness as more or less an " imaginary complaint ;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—nervous ness is AN UNKA'i'UKAL CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS systkm. .Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes ; they often have the bloom of health upon their cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed: the heart "beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. A Strange Spectacle.—lt is certainly strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion/ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope '.' Many cases, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure nervow/ness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction ; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be clone ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing tho following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work must be accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other stamps, also a properly directed envelope. Address— CHARLES SENNET, Agent, Brooklyn House, Flagstaff Gardens, Melbourne. CUBE 13 AT "HAND. TTOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT. Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swelling*.— lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbed into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not by repression, but repiilsion. It enters the- system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and continuing the conquest of the disease. Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quimey.— The above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are more easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore tnroat, if taken in time. Tlic Kidneys, Stone and Gravel. — In these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Leas, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and Glandular Swellings. —ln such eases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be nibbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with lukewarm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its inliuence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart—Dropsy.— The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient will ever iind succour : the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick, and perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results in a cure. They act with such energy on the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sull'erer lhids all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. Gold and Rheumatism may be cured with the greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this perseveringly done for some time. It is no use to smear it on. the skin only, it must be got into the system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or three times during the 21 hours ; " eschew the use of coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaints are leaving the system the virulence ot the complaint reqnently seems to increase. Indiscretion of Youth. —Sores, ulcers, and swellings, can with certainty bo cured if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining parts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered *$*■!&■ linen rag spread with the same. *"'^«Br' The Pills must be taken according to the i^«tea directions. The blood being in an impure state, perseverance is necessary. From humane motives letters of advice will be answered gratuitously. To save carriage, the Pills and Ointment should be ob tained in tho neighbourhood of the sufferer, and not from Holloway's Establishment Both the Ointment and the Pills should be used in the foUoxoing cases: — Bad Legs i Cancers [Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-diseases Bite of Mosquitos Fistulas Scurvy and Sand-Flies Gout Sore-headsJ Coco-bay Glandular Swell- Tumours Chiogo-foot ings Ulcers Chilblains Lumbago Wounds Chapped Hands Piles Yaws.
