The undersigned begs to inform his numerous customers, and the public generally, and espe cially the working classes, that he has just received Direct from England, and imported to his own order, another SHIPMENT of the CLOTHING FROM THE WEST END OH 1 LONDON, of the same Fashionable Styles and and Materials which were so much admired here a short time ago. They will be sold at a Great Reduction on the former low prices, owing to the fact that being Bought for Cash a very large discount was allowed him, in con sequence of dull times prevailing at home.. The public are well aware that the advertiser has the best chance of offering Bargains to them than any other Clothier in town, for the simple reason that he keeps no long array of assistants, but attends to the wants of his customers him self, being on the premises from 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., and takes especial pride in seeing them well suited, both as regards Quality, Style, and Price. During his long business career, by attending to the above increase of custom has been his roward. His Stock throughout has always been noted for the best and well-spoken of, no rubbish finding a place on his shelves, and he makes it a rule never to Buy other people's Old Rubbish at Auction also, but always keeps replenishing it from the Best Home Manufacturers, selected by his own buyer. When any of the Stock becomes out of Dato, instead of trying to pass it off on Cus tomers as Bankrupt's Stock at enormous sacri fice, he prefers getting rid of it, and sending it himself to auction. He does not believe in having his Creditors Selling his Goods by Auction, but sells them himself to the public at a Low Figure, acting on the old adage, " Small Profits and Quick Returns." There is no puff ing about him. His advertisements are always genuine, and are paid for out of his own pocket, and not out of those of hi 3 creditors. They know they are always sure of having their claims paid in full, and so lets him " rip." The proof of the above-mentioned can always be found if the public will only look at the manifests of the different ships always arriving here from London, I. Levy's name always figuring pro minently as a Large Importer. SPECIAL NOTICE.—As I. Levy is a Profes sional Tailor, and has been a long time in business here, it stands to reason that he knows the kind of Goods to suit the public, and no Customer has any occasion to leave the Shop without the different purchases fit to perfection. A Special Feature is one case of New and Old Fashioned Styles of extra big size Men's Trousers and Vests, and Shirts, length from 41 inches to 17J collars (a rarity in any city). This shipment was secured solely that no difficulty will be met in securing Clothing to fit short and stout people. Also, a second case of Trousers and Vests suited for tall and slender persons.

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 he ; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking yonr in- Valuable medicine 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 nigLt. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, iind the pains through out my limbs a: 1 Joins were constant and almost i nsi i [(portable. I was induced to try your Rhou matism Mixture, and found myself getting better after taking three bottles-of it. I continued taking Ih>'< medicine for about 3b: weeks, and became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of ail pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism. My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." "Dunedin, 10th July, 1376.—Sir,— I have plea sure in slating, for the benefit of others, that I have derived the most unexpected good results from the use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture.

I am happy to.state that I am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well atnight, my appetite mid general health are much improved, arid T cm i n ttend to my business and house duties.

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." _ These invaluable Medicines are to be had throughout New Zealand, and in Auckland of all Chemists and respectable Medicine Vendors.
