SAMUEL COOMBKS & CO., 92, Oue(jn-?-treei-. /^VXYGEN IS LIFE. Although the modern Materia Medica in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it i3 a matter of certainty that in an cases where the animal vitality is failing, Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and if. pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. .„ ~„,, The question naturally presents itself, YV hy is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed ?' The on y answer which can be given is :-That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. An hcrtp it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances: but however valu able it has been found in all the hitheito known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to neglect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme case?, and a fter every other remedy has failed, but a chemical process has now been discovered, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw backs which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. . ear Caution.— Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dano-erous. It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use or any preparation of Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water. ■ Protected by Royal Letters Patent, Dated October 11th, 1869. lit v^ sJ^^Jiii ws^% \!^~^ —>^'^%i (OZONIC OXYGEN).

LO C A L TEST I.M ON Y PULVE H MACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTEKIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-eltcu-ic fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency taereof in the system manifests it-elf, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men s, such as Indigestion Liver Complain!s Neuralgia Sciatica Deafnes3 Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Eocal Debility General Debility Female Complaintsl Mental and Physical Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no coniecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'3 GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments refened to, embodying a host of remedies in one. • Thirty years' successful exDerience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The is spontaneous and remark able :— " Auckland, November 26,1877. " Dear Sir,— I have been 'a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J years I have not been free from it for one minute ; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has > een something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, •'James Slator. "G.

With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the best 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.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant.
