pOMMON -'SENSE AND COMFORT. Gas Stoves. COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for the Collage, Mansion, or Hotel. The superior flavour, tho retention of tho animal juices in the Moat, and the prevention of waste, aro plainly shown on tiie first trial. The loss of weight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of the com mon modes of Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds loses never less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or four pounds in an Oven, tho loss by the Gas Roaster is only one pound. If you have common sense, buy one. If you want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ng, Stewing, or Frying, from 3s.

Jamieson." _, " Pier Hotel, Dunedin, 2*fch May, 1575.-M3ir,— Having been much boneflttod by the use ot your Indian Medicine, I have great pleasure in adding my testirhony 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 RpWKTT " "Vort Chalmers, Now Zealand, 3rd July, 1876. Sir,—l think it my duty to state that your Ghol lah's Rheumatism Mixture has prorod in my cato to bo all that you havo represented it to be ; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as 1 endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine 1 beg to state that I had been suffering tho 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 anil loins wero constant and almost insupportable. I was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting better after taking three bottles of it. I continued taking tho 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 1 sleep well at night.—Signed), Fred. Williams." "Dunedin, 10 th July, 187C-Sir,—l have plea sure in slating, for the benefit of others, that I Lara 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 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 attend to my business and house duties. This happy 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 timo, and having been com pletely cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for tho last ten years, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. lam now frco 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.
