DR BRIGHT^ PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Plwspliorous, ,vn,th the Vegetable Alkaloids'Qumia, Cypripklen, XanthoMjtin,! dec, ■-'•' Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Cuahles Leslie Bright, M.D., Resident Surgeon to Sit. Mary's Hospital London! This Phosphatic combination is pronounced by the most eminent members of the Medical Profession to be unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying all .the essential con stituents of the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all tlie powers and functions of the system to the highest degree. ■>"■'• ... It is agreeable to the palate and innocent in its action, while retaining all its extraordinary properties, and p.s a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for tho speedy and permanent cure of - '..'.' H . • ! i ' Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver' Complaints ' limbs -" Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition f i Dizziness Mental and physical de- Noises in the head and ears pression ' Loss of energy and appetite Consumption (in its mci Hypochondria pient or first stages Only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Sick headache stages Lassitude Premature decline Shortness of the breath and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is twofold-on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, arid on the other,; the most powerful blood and ilesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity, and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon tlie organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the tlie osseous, muscular) nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates' on the system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with aliaradny, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodydne gives back to the human struc ture, in suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which has been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on.ths* spinal marrow and nervous svstom, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the niind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. The beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are fre quently shown from the first day of its administration by a remarkable increase of nervous power, with a feeling of vigour and comfort to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the appetite increases wonderfully; the bowels become regular; the eyes brighter; the skin clear and healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphodyne on the organsof nutrition. Fiiiallv, the Phosphodyne maintains a. certain degree o"f activity in the previously debilitated nervous system ; its use enables all delibilated organs to return to their sound state and perform their natural func tions. . Persons suffering from Nervous Debility, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy. DR. BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE Is sold only in cases at £1 Is, containing two bottles ; and £2 2s, containing five bottles.' "Also in family cases at £5, containing sixteen bottles. To be ...had of all Chemists, and Up!-' Country Storekeepers throughout the Colonies. FULL DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN THE ENGLISH, FRENCH, AND GERM AM LANGUAGES AC COMPANY EACH CASE. .... ...

Physical Accoucheur to Her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of .the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society that in thirteen cases.©f debility and nervous prostration he had effected permanent cures by the use of Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne. Sir Wm. Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., Surgeon to Her Majesty -the Queen, says :—" I have repeatedly pre; scribed Dr.. Bright's Phosphodyne, and found it an agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but ope, ob jection regarding it, and that is the elaborate process required in the preparation will not allow of the retail prices being within the reach of all classes." Dr. Lancaster, the eminent Coroner, says:—"Dr Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated^ to entirely super sede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-liver oil." ' Dr. R. Quain, F.R.C.P., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton, remarks:—" It cannot be doubted that this Phosphatic preparation will hence forth rank foremost in therapeutics ; it generates all the important elements of the human frame, the peculiar character of this substance fitting it for vital uses." ■ ' ~ Sir T. Lawrence says:—"l have found Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne an excelleiit.remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxydisation." Professor Syme says :—" The effects of the Phos phodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonish ing as perplexing." Dr. Hanfield .Tones, F.R.C.P., F.R.S., Physician to St. Mary's Hospital, says, in Athropy and General Debility Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy ; it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increases the vital energy— *'it not only acts as an absorbent," but retards or repairs the waste of tissue, and restores the nutritive functions to their normal condition. The Lancet considers the Phosphodyne one of the most important contributions made to Materia Medica during the last century. ' .

The object of thisf Company is to utilize the Iron Stone and Iron Sand which abound in this Province, by converting them into cast iron and malleable steel iron, by the process of manufacture successfully tried at Onehunga by the original promoters of the Com- Samples of their, iron have been submitted to the; severest tests by practical mechanics, and invariably pronounced to'be equfil in grain and toughness to the best Lowmoor and Swedish iron. ; - • It is proposed to raise sufficient capital for tne I purchase of machinery, and for the erection of the ! necessary plant and buildings, at a site to be deter mined as being most convenient for obtaining a supply of the Iron Sand, Iron Ore, and Coal. A careful esti mate has been made of the cost of a plant suited for the' purpose of manufacturing Pig Iron, and iter-. I chants Bar Iron, together with land and buildings; and the amount is £15,000. The whole of the machinery can be supplied in Auckland. This would include :— j . .1 High-pressiire Steam Engine, 100-horse power nominal ~. . j 1 Hot-blast Furnace, complete; 6 Puddling FurnanCes' ;■ 2 Mill Furnaces ; 1 Rolling Mill, 10-inch train j 1 Steam Hammer; 3 Coke Ovens .:.-.: i 2 Pair Shears ; 1 Straightening Press . .;/' Land, Buildings, Freight, Commissions, and Contingent Expenditure. S . The Plant, as enumerated, would be sufficient as .a; '.beginning, and would admit of extension at any time. j The following is an estimate of the weekly produc itibn of finished Bar Iron, leaving out of calculation altogether the yield of. Pig Iron from the Blast Fur nace—an estimate founded upon experience •-- ---! Five Puddling Furnaces, working five days per week i(one day idle for fettling, &c), and 1 spare Furnace, i6O tons.

Dr. 50 tons Merchant Bar Iron, per week, at £16 per ton.. .. .. .. ' £800 0 0 Or. Wages, Management, Interest, Coal, Raw Material, &c 455 0 0. Showing a weekly profit of .. 345 0 0 Or, £17,940 per annum. It will be. seen that no account is taken of the profits from the iron produced by the Blast Furnace 1 which it is proposed to erect, capable of making ten ! tons of pig iron daily. This item, however, will add considerably to tlie profits of the undertaking. .. • ■, • The raw material is estimated in excess of what it is likely to cost; and, with regard to coal, which is estimated to cost £2 per ton, it has been .ascertained that Buller Rivor Coal, Waikato, and Bay of Islands j Coal could be delivered at the works at .£llos per ton, with certainty. But a most valuable seam of, coal having been discovered close by the site of the pro-' posed works, the saving on that item will necessarily be very great. The Promoters have secured the right to use all, Iron Sand and Iron Stone within the' Manakau Harbour, the property of the Crown, free of royalty. ■ There is an unlimited supply of Iron Sand and Htematite Iron Ore, as well witjjin as without the. Manakau Heads; and the Provincial Government have by letter expressed their readiness to lease in terms of the Public Reserves Act any portion of the West Coast line under Provincial control which the | Promoters of the Company may require in the pro-, sedition of their enterprise. The price of Bar Trdn is estimated above at £16 per' ton, the lowest price at which it has ever been sold, for in Auckland being from £14 to. £16 per ton. The. current rate is £20 per ton cash ; £22 per ton at three months; and the general tendency is upwards.' The cost of producing Merchant Bar Iron is, after making the most liberal allowance for expenses of all kinds, £10 per ton. Taking the iron as selling on the spot for £16 per ton. a large and-certain return is assured. {The demand for Iron is daily increasing owing to the extension of railways, mining,, ship building, and other branches of manufacturing in dustry. The certainty of; finding' a market for all i that can be produced heed not therefore be, doubted; ,As a legitimate investment for: capital, Shares in the Auckland Iron and Steel Company, Limited, arb without a rival. It is altogether free from the specu lative uncertainty of goldmining. The supply of: the raw material of. manufacture being on the surface renders it less costly to procure that any other mineral deposit, while the demand for the manufac tured article is, practically, without a limit. ■ \ ! ". 50,000. Shares of the proposed capital of the Com pany are offered to the public. 2s. Cd. per Share deposit to be paid On application ; 2s Od. per' Share on allotment; and ssi per Share within six months from allotment, in calls not exceeding 2s. 6d. The remaining 10s. is to be called up (if required) in calls hot exceeding 2s. Od. each, at periods of not less than two months. It is. proposed to pay to the Promoters, as soon as the Company is in a position to erect machinery, the sum of £2,000 in cash, and on allotment 8,000 fully paid-up Shares; the. remaining 42,000 Shares to be held in trust for the Company. The Promoters bind themselves not to place their Shares on the market until the plant is in working order ; and engage to assist iri carrying on the works after the start, at a salary to be agreed upon with the Directors, and to convey to the Company for its use their rights,and privileges in a Patent for the working of Iron Sand and Iron Ore applied for by them. On one-fourth of the required capital being sub scribed, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will be convened" to elect a Board of Directors and pass Rules for the management of the Company, and also to make arrangements for the vigorous prosecution of the works. The Provisional Board of Directors is principally composed of practical. men, who, having satisfied themselves, give their services to further this national . undertaking. . Applications for Shares made to the Company's Secretary, Mr. John Mowbray, No. 44, Queen-street, Auckland, up to the 14th day of March, 1873, will be numbered as received, and Shares allotted on approval by the Directors, immediately aftev the receipt of Southern applications.
