DRBRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorous, with ihe Vctjctahle Alkaloid* Quinia, t'upripeden, Xnnthoxylin, •'•''■» Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Charles Leslie Bright, M.D., Resident Surgeon to St. 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 ! stitnents of the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the 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 as a specific surpassing all the known thorapeutle agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of - Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical de- Noises in the head and eara pres3ion Lo«s of energy and appetite Consumption (in its mci Hypochondi-ia 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 xn all its Sick headacho stages Lassitude Premature declino 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 enor.sy, and on the other, the most powerful blood and flesh 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 robnst health. The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon the organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the the 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 a harmony, 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 ims been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character ; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. Tke 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 ; th( appetite increases wonderfully; the bowels become regular j the eyes brighter; the skin clear am healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphodyne on th< organs of nutrition. . Finally, the Phosphodyne maintains a certau degree of activity in the previously debilitated ncrvoui system ; its use enables nil delibilated organs to retain to their sound state and perform their natural func tions. Persons suffering from Nervous Debility, oi any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may "rest assured of an effectual anc even speedy cure by the judicious use of this mos 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 .£">, containing sixteen bottles. To be had of all Chemists and Up - Country Storekeepers throughout the Colonie3. FULL DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN THE ENGLISH FRENCH, AND GERMAM LANGUAGES AC COMPANY EACH CASE. SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS. Sir Charles Locoek.

Sir Wm, Ferguson, Bart., F.R.S., Surgeon to He Majesty the Queen, says :—" I have repeatedly pre scribed Dr. Blight's Phosphodyne, and found it a; agreeable and beneficial remedy. I have but one ot jection regarding it, and that is the elaborate proces required in the preparation will not allow of th retail prices being within the reach of all classes." Dr. Lancaster, the eminent Coroner, says:—"D Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supei sedc iron, mercury, sarsaparilla, quinine, and cod-live oil." Dr. R.

Professor Syme says:—"The effects of.thePho; phodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonisl: ing as perplexing." Dr. Hanfleld Tones, F.R.C.P., F.R.S.. Physician t St. Mary's Hospital, says, in Athropy and Genera Debility Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increase the vital energy—" it not only acts as an absorbent, but retards or repairs the waste of tissue, and restore the nutritive functions to their normal condition.

It will be seen that no account is taken of the profits from the iron produced by the Blast Furnace which it is proposed to erect, capable of making ten tons of pig iron daily. This item, however, will add considerably to the 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 River Coal, Waikato, and Bay of Islands Coal could be delivered at the works at £110s per ton, with ctrtainty. 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 Hfematite Iron Ore, as well .within 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 secution of their enterprise. The price of Bar Iron is estimated above at £16 per ton, the lowest price at which it has ever been sold ", for in Auckland being from £14 to £10 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 r the spot for £1C per ton. a large and certain return is il assured. The demand' for Iron is daily increasing n owing to the extension ■of railways; mining, ship d building, and other branches of manufacturing in 's dustry. The certainty of finding a market for all that can be produced naed not therefore be doubted. r As a legitimate investment for capital, Shares in 1* the Auckland Iron and Steel Company, Limited, are n without a rival. It is altogether free from the specu )- lative uncertainty of goldmining. The supply of the is raw material of manufacture being on the surface, c renders it less costly to procure that any other mineral deposit, while the demand for the manufac 'r tured article is, practically, without a limit. f- 50,000 Shares of the proposed capital of the Com '■r pany are offered to the public. 2s. Cd. per Share deposit to be paid on application ; 2s (id. per Share il on allotment; and ss. per Share within six months >c from allotment, in calls not exceeding 2s. Cd. The 5- remaining 10s. is to be called up (if required) in calls 11 not exceeding 2s. Cd. each, at periods of not less than c two months. il It is proposed to pay to the Promoters, as soon as the Company is in a position to erect machinery, the 's sum of £2,000 in cash, and on allotment 8,000 fully I paid-up Shares ; the remaining 42,000 Shares to be held in trust for the Company. The Promoters bind s- themselves not to place their Shares on the market i- until the plant is in working order ; and engage to assist in carrying on the works after the start, at a o salary to be agreed upon with the Directors, and to il convey to the Company for its vise their rights and ; privileges in a Patent tor the working of Iron Sand is and Iron Ore applied for by them. On one-fourth of the required capital being sub !S scribed, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will he convened to elect a Board of Directors and pass Rules ie for the management of the Company, and also to ia make arrangements for the vigorous prosecution oi the works. d The Provisional Board of Directors is principally composed of practical men, who, having satisfied 's themselves, give their services to further this national d undertaking. g Applications for Shares made to the Company's Secretary, Mr. John Mowbray, No. 44, Queen-street, Auckland, up to the 14th day of March, 1573, will be irambered as received, and Shares allotted on approval by the Directors, immediately after the receipt ol ' Southern applications.
