Their worth and merit have secured for them in every part of New Zealand the confidence of the public. They haye1 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, 1876.—Sir, Having occasion to use your Aperient Mixture, and having derived much benefit therefrom, I have much pleasure in testifying to its merits, and in recommending it to others.—(bignotl), "Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 26th May, 1876.—Sir,— Having been much bencflttcd by the use of your Indian Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony as to its eflicacy, 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 ''Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir,—l 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, siu-h as I endured previous to taking your 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 night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insuppori aWe. I was induced to try your Rheu mul ism Mixture, and found myself gettmgbetter 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 i.-: excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." "Dunedin. 10th July, 1876.- Sir,—l have plea sure in stating, for the benefit of others, that I have derived the most unexpected good results from the use of Ghollah's Rheumatism Mixture. I had been suffering from very severe rheumatic attacks for about lo years, accompanied by most agonising pains in my limbs 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 ftt t end to my business and house duties. This hap?!?/ change has been brought about by ' the use of 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- Dletelv cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten yeare, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. I am now free from all pain, and well m 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 f rom rheumatism or gout.—(Signed), John Grifken, J.P."

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 OF LONDON, of the same Fashionable Styles ana 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. Ihe 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 ha 3 been his reward. His Stock throughout has always been noted for the best and well-spoken of, no rubbish finding a place on his shelves, and ho makes it a rule never to Buy other people's Old Rubbish at Auction also, bun always keeps replenishing it from the Best Home Manufacturers, selected by his own buyer. When any of the Stock becomes out of Date, 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.FIGUBE, acting on the old adage, " Small Profits and Quick Returns." There is no PUFF ing about him. His advertisements are always genuine, and arc paid for out of his own pocket, and not out of those of his creditors. They know' they are always sure of having their claims paid in full, and so let 3 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 Lakgk 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 H inches to 17i collars (a ra.rity 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.
