Thcii£yv?orth and merit havo secured for them in everjjpart of: New Zealand the confidence of the public. They have cured long-standing cases of sickness, and TESTIMONIALS similar to those given below are being received from all parts of the Colony by the Proprietor:— "Kensington, Duncdin, Ist March, 1871!.—Sir, Having occasion to use your Aperient Mixture, and having derived much benefit therefrom, I have muAi pleasure in testifying to its merits, and in recommending it to others.—(Signed), A. Jamieson.' "Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, IS76.—Sir,— Having been much benefltted by the use of your Indian Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony as to its efficacy, and can recom mend others to try it. Some of my friends, who have also been using these medicines, speak very favourably of them, and have received much benefit from their use.—(Signed), Ophelia Bennett." " Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir, —I think it my duty to state that your Ghol lah's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my case to be all that you have represented it to be; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicino I beg to state that I had been suffering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matisin Mixture, andfoundmyself getting better after .taking three bottles of it. I continued taking the medicine for about six weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, -being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism. My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." " Dunedin, 10th July, 1876.—Sir,—I have plea sure in stating, for the benefit of others, that I have derived the most unexpected good results from tho use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture. I had. been suffering from very severe rheumatic attacks for about 15 years, accompanied by most agonising pains in myiimbs and loins, through which my rest was much disturbed at night, my appetite very imperfect, and my general health altogether impaired. I am happy- to state that I am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite and general health are much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties. This happy change has been brought about by the use ot your Rheumatism Mixture for about two months.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully.— (Signed), S. Pickett." "Dunedin, 31st August, 1876.—Sir,—Having taken your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixture for some considerable time, and having been com pletely cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten years, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. I am now free from all pain, and well in my health, and have the free use of my hands and. feet, which I had not previous to taking your medicine. I think it right to state, for the bene fit of others suffering the tortures that I endured for the period above stated, that I attribute my restoration to health and freedom from pain entirely to the use of your invaluable medicine. I can strongly recommend it those suffering from rheumatism or gout.—(Signed), John Griffen, J.P."

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE AUCKLAND PERMANENT BUILD ING AXD INVESTMENT SOCIETY, Ladies avd Gentlemen,— I beg to inform you that I am a candidate for your suffrages at the Election of the Committee ofthe abovrt Society, which is to take place in the Lome-street Hall en Tuesday evening. I think it advisable that some new blood should be infused into the Committee. I think that additional inducements should be held out to the Public to borrow from the Society. My idea is to leave tho tables as they are at "present, but to give Borrowers a Share in the Profits. I believe this plan would add largely to the ttu^inesa. awdr-CQiisequenUy, to the profits of the Society. I hold a considerable interest in the Society, and, if elected, I will honestly endeavour to advance the interests of the Society. I remain, Yours obediently, W. RATTRAY. GG, Onecn-street, Juno 2nd, 1877. lii L E C T lON OF C O M M ITTEE. j TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE AUCK LAND PERMANENT CO-OPERATIVE BUILDING SOCIETY. Gentlemen,—ln soliciting the favour of your votes in the coming Election, I beg to lay before you my views on matters closely affecting your interests and the prosperity of our Society. A strong prejudice exists against block-voting— for the purpose of keeping one body ot men m oflice to the exclusion of new Committee-men— and it is desirable that on this occasion such should not be allowed. I have to congratulate the Shareholders upon the hitherto successful career of the Society, duo in a great measure to Mr. Batger's careful atten tion,' but I would earnestly draw attention to the fact that the increase of capital on hand re quires a change in the linancial management. In consequence of the uncompromising rate ot interest charged to shareholders, there is a general aversion to borrowing money on the Society's terms, which latter I would propose to change, for the following reasons :— I will take, in the first place, the four years system. A man borrows £100 for four years ; lie pays 12s. Gd. per week— Principal £25 Interest £7 10s. or 7J % Ist year 25 „ 7 103. or 9i % _nd „ 25 „ 7 10s. or 15 %'3rd ~ 25 „ 7 10s. or 30 7. lth „ This would be at the rate of ISA- per cent., which is double the interest any man can afford to pay. I should propose that a sliding scale of interest should be fixed, so that a borrower at no time should pay more than the fixed interest stated at the time of borrowing. Say 7J or 8 per cent. The Society would then find no difficulty in lending their money. The investor will naturally say, where will our interest come from ? I will now in a few figures show. We take again the above instance. The 12s. 6d. is paid to the Society one w feek after borrowing, at 7i per cent., as follows- £0 12 G Interest on this sum would be, for 353 days, remainder of past year .. .. .. 0 0 9J 0 13 3J 2nd year, 365 days .. .. 0 0 Il| 0 li 31 3rd year, 3G5 days .. .. 0 1 0i 0 15 3J •lth year, 365 days .. .. 0 11 0 16 _J Which would be at the rate of 30per cent.,being quite as good, if not better, than the dividend the Society pays this year. Taking into con sideration that this money also would come back into the Society week after week, and would consequently be lent over and over again, making compound interest. The Society would then be one of the most flourishing in existence. This is a new place, consequently building mus* go on ; and if borrowers could obtain the mones at a reasonable rate of interest, they would prefer to do so, on account of the weekly instal ments. I also think that the borrowers should participate in the profits in some slight degree, as an incentive for them to patronise the Society. Again, I think that a borrower, having a certain amount of stake in the Society, should be eligible for acting on the Committee; for everyone knows that opposition in any public bodies tends to make good laws. As at present the Com mittee consists of investing members, they are more inclined to make rules like those at present in existence. It would take too much space to go fully into the matter, as I intend to do at a future time, probably at the meeting, when I hope to have the support of both borrowers and investors of this Society. Any member who has given his proxy not understanding, can nullify the same by attending the meeting in person. THOMAS STEADMAN, Haymarket, Auckland.
