ISIDORE ALEXANDER 96, QUEEN STREET, NEXT AUCKLAND HOTEL, (Established 1865,) BEG-S most respectfully to inform the inhabitants of Auckland and its vicinity that he has opened the above premises as a WATCHMAKER AND MANUFACTURING JEWELLER, With a Large and Well-assorted Stock of WATCHES, DIAMOND GOODS, JEWELLERY, SILVER AND SILVER-PLATED WARE, Specially selected in the English and Foreign Markets. The latest designs and fashions in Bijeuterie will be received by every mail from England, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. The public are invited to inspect the premises and factory, where all the branches in the trado are carried on. SEWING MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent special improve ments, which no other Machine, possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other. The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and lias no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from usiDg a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow ma to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming. Quilting, ' Felling, Cording. Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c , with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. 1 They are fitted with an tmi'iioveh iikbaK, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so i entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without coating a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines i let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in cx i change. Repairs properly dono.

Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.-r^fM above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success.
