Ha 3 very great pleasure to announce that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his £3" DINING ROOMS "53b | have been renovated at great expense, with I every regard to the convenience of his cvts ' tomers. I The LOWER SALOON ! i 3 th« most spacious and comfortable, as Vrell I as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro j vince; and Upstairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over crowding. Thftre are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also UD-stairs, to which are attached side offices provided with ablutionary and other conven iences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City which he has received for a period of over I eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of Fare i is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Jour nals, together %-rith the leading London News i papers, are laid on the tableo immediately on j the arrival of each mail steamer.

Long experience has proved these famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either ■ the dangerous maladies or the slighter com- j plaints which are more particularly incidental to the life of a miner, or those living in the , bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, vi :—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent forerunners of fey dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera. HOLLOWAVS OINTMENT Is the most effectua remedy tor old ores wounds, ulcers, rheumatism, and all skin diseases ; in fact, when used according to the ! printed directions, it never falls to cure alike deep and superficial ailments. These Medicines mar be obtained from all respectable Druggists and Storekeepers through out the civilised world, with directions for use in almost evory language.

The Proprietor of the Blood Restorer has been astounded to learn that certain rue- bers of the abore excellent Order hava objected to their Visiting Officers endorsing the testimonial of a brother, who with grateful feelinte desired to I publish abroad the medicine which, by the help of Providence, led to his recovery frem a pain ful illness. * I The subjoined letter issued by order of the ' Lodge to Mr. Jones, will bo the excuse for in future omitting the Officers' Certificate hitherto attached to Mr. Jones' testimonial. The ob joction of the Society is merely on technical ! KJjpunds, for none can do other than rejoice at a fellow being's recovery from an alleged incur- . able disease :— " Mb. Jones.— " Dear Sir,—ln deference to Home of the mem ! bers of the Loyal Fountain of Friendship, who ' believe that their sacred rights and privileges have been infringed, vre must request you to withdraw the certificate appended to" your letter to Mr. Hitchens, bearing the initials of the offices we then held in the Lodge ; but in ; doing so, we would have you and Mr. Hitchens j to understand that wo fully endorse what that ' certificate intended to convey. "' We are, &c, " Authbd \ Alet. "Chas. Overton. les ! the certificate will be removed after so I courteous and manly a request. The testimonial remains, and in the majesty of truth tells its own tale. ; There is no desire to imply incairaeity on the j part of the Lodge Physicians;—on the contrary, ■ they have proved themselves worthy of the ! trust. Nevertheless, the Proprietor of fhe Blood i Restorer desires a fair hearing for his panacea, ' the use of which has b«en followed with such ' unparalleled | success; believing that it is one ' of the highest and most sacred of privileges to be able to administer relief to a suffering j brother in this world of pain and treuble. 7 The following is a copy of tho brief inoflen- I sive certificate, which has until now b»en c attached to the testimonial, and which excited the anger of some rather unphilanthropically , disposed members of the Order:— *' Auckland, Ist June, 1877. 2 We, the undersigned, Visitinsr Officers of the J Loyal Fountain of Friendship Lodge, of the c 1.0.0.
