With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the beat English or French prepara tions; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of diet for invalids, especially those suffering from an impaired digestion .—I have the honour to be, sir, you obedient servt,, James M.

WHY DO YOU LADIES so often say' to your husbands " How stupid you are." I suppose it is a way you have got; any way, don't say it any more " till I give you leave, for I find the married men anything but stupid "lately." Why they are buying my shilling Satin Scarves as if they were going to open a shop, and no-wonder, for they are really grand.. It is only ten weeks since I bought 77 dozen, and now I hays lust bought the balance—namely, 100 dozen more. It is a chafes the men are not likely to get again, as I generally devote myself to the ladies. No one would believe the bargain they are unless thoy Baw them. I wish I had some for you ladies. Please don't get telling your husbands that they have got Scarves on the brain. Be thankful to know that they have brains. I have now reduced the price of ruy Dartes de Visites of the principal Kings, Queens, Statesmen, Actors, Aotresaes, and other cele brated personages, excepting myself, from 8s a dozen to 4s a dozen ; and if you are wisp you will be in time and get the pick. There is a large fine assortment, and it is a chance you are not likely to get again in Auckland. I may as well state that having bought largely at Mr. Brown's sale, in Shortland-street, I am able to give you great bargains in Piano Music, consisting of the most popular songs, dances, opera bouife, and sacred music.

I have also a few large oneß at 4s6d andss. I have just bought a lot or handsomely turned plated chain up Zanella Umbrellas. They are going fast already, and no wonder, they are so handsome, and I am selling them at the ridiculous price ol 2s 3d. It is the greatest bargain I ever bought in Umbrellas, and almost enough to make you wish for a wet day, so as to bo able to carry one in your hand. They are also handsome enough for Sun Shades, and will do nicely for the single ladies to beat the toe of their boot with while their sweethearts are telling them how pretty they are. ' I am selling such enormous hanka o; Worsted at Is the hank, worth 2s.

HITCHEN'S CELEBRATED BLOOD RESTORER A NEVEK-FALuING REMEDY. UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. extbaobdinary curb of an auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 yeahs resident, of . Long-standing Rheumatism. Auckland.SAugust 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in tlie exerciee of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night x was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially miured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so man 7 specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, 1 carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stifr, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it i 9 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, oi course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, „ B Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., Auckland. O E W I N G TV|- A C H I [Established 1855.] W. H.
