UNDER DISTINGUISHED PATRONAGE, DR BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorous, with the Vegetable Alkaloids Quin'u',, Ct)pfi]icden_ Xanthbx./lin, die., Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Ciiakles 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 stituents or the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all tho 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 therapeutic 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 ears pression_ Loss of energy and appetite Consumption (in its mci Hypoehondri'a pient or lirst stages only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin Genei-al debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulonce 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, 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, tbe flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust 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. If moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet ! mildness, unparalleled in medicine. Tlie 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 the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character ; maintaining that buoyant energy of tlie brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and" energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive ancl sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. Tlie beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are fre quently shown from the first clay 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 organs of nutrition. Finally, the Phosphodyne maintains a certain degree of 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 £">, 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 GERMAM LANGUAGES AC COMPANY EACH CASE. SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS. Sir Charles Locock, Physical Accoucheur to Her Majesty the Queen, stated at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society Unit in thirteen casos of deoility ancl 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:—"l have repeatedly pre* scribed Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, and found it an figreeable ancl beneftcial remedy. I have but one ob jection regarding it, ancl that is the elaborate process required in the preparation will not allow of the retail prices being within the roach of all classes." Dr. Lancaster, tho 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: —" Itcannot be doubted that this Phosi-'hatic 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 excellent remedy in skin diseases. I presume it is by oxydisation." Professor Syme says :—" The effects of the Phos i-hodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonish ing as perplexing." Dr. Haniield .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, ancl 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. Pamphlets containing Testimonials maybe obtained from all Chemists and Up-Country Storekeepers. tiff Caution. —Be particular to ask for Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, as Imitations are abroad ; and avoid purchasing Single Bottles, the Genuine Article being sold in cases only.

PROSPECTUS OF THE AUCKLAND IRON AND STEEL COM PANY (LIMITEi)). To be Incorporated under the Joint Stock Companies Act, 1800. CAPITAL—£IOO,OOO, IK 100,000 Shares of £1 each. Provisional Directors : John Henderson, CE. (Engineer for Messrs Brogden and §oh), Wellington Thomas T. Masefield (Masefield ahd Co., Engineers), Auckland William Lodder. Engineer, Auckland F. M. P. Brookfield, Auckland Robert J. Creighton, Auckland. Solicitors : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. Baxkebs ! Brink of New Zealand. Secretary : John Mowbray. The object of this Company is to utilize the Iren 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 pany. Samples of their iron have been submitted to the severest tests by practical mechanics, and invariably E renounced to be equal in grain and toughness to the est Lowihoor ahd Swedish Iron. . It is proposed to raise sufficient Capital for the 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 tlie 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, ancl Mer 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 :— 1 High-pressure Steam Engine, 100-horse power nominal 1 Hot-blast Furnace, complete ; 0 Puddling FurnanCes 2 Mill Furnaces ; 1 Rolling Mill, 10-inch train 1 Steam Hammer ; 3 Coke OvenS 2 Pair Shears ; 1 Straightening Press Land, Buildings, Freight, Commissions, and Contingent Expenditure. The Plant, as enumerated, would be sufficient as a beginning, and would admit of extension at any time. The following is an estimate of the weekly produc tion of finished Bar Iron, leaving out of calculation altogether the yield of Pig Don from the Blast Fur nace—an estimate founded upon experience :— Five Puddling Furnaces, working five days per week (one day idle for fettling, &c), ancl 1 spare Furnace, 50 tons. Return in cash, at £10 per ton, £SOO. Wages per week—Puddling per ton, including helper, 255, £02 10s ; Shinglers, ditto ditto, £12 10s ; RoUers, ditto ditto, 4s, £10 ; Engineers, £12 ; Stokers, £4— £10 ; two Forge Labourers, £4 ; 75 tons Coal, £150 ; Raw Material, at per ton, 40s, £100 ; Management, Contingencies, Office Rent, Wear and Tear, &c, £100. Total, £455— 0r, Dr. 50 tons Merchant Bar Iron, per week, at £16 per ton £800 0 0 Cr. 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 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 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 ancl Iron Stone within the Manakau Harbour, the property of the Crown, free of royalty. There is an unlimited supply of Iron Sand and Hajmatite Iron Ore, as well within as without the Manakau Beads; 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 £10 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 £10 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 that can be produced need not therefore be doubted. As a legitimate investment for capital, Shares in the Auckland Iron and Steel Company, Limited, are 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 ss. per Share within six months from allotment, in calls not exceeding 2s. Od. The remaining 10s. is to be called up (if required) in calls not exceeding 2s. Od. each, at periods of not loss 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 aUotment 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 in 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 tor the working of Iron Sand ancl Iron Ore applied for by them. On one-fourth of the required capital being sub scribed, a General Meeting of tho 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 after the receipt of Southern applications. * Auckland, February S, 1573. --"——~--—----^ —
