XETHAT A DIFFERENCE there HThx TT women. The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue and Black Hamburg Net, and I have only BOine of the Brown left, in different patterns, and that is going fast too; and no wonder, when I am selling it at the ridiculous price of Is a yard. I have just bought a lot of Black, White, and Brown Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and 4d yard; so don't be too late. The ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish I could get some more Shirt Frontß like I am now selling at 6d each. What would the Queen say if Bhe saw my new lot of lovely Cuffe and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all sold: Embroidery, 4d a yard; Ladies' White Stockings. 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 2a. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to in, and my Is ones to 3s 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and I believe there are some who do, let them prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls this cold weather. Toilet Fringe, Id a yard; Lace, Id a yard: Clark's bkeios Crochet Cotton, ZJd or 2a Id per doz; Hair Pins. 5d a dozen box©3, or 2 boxes a penny; 'JL'owels, 3d and 6d ; Trouser BattouH, zd per dozen. If you wish to look like a Queen, come and see the lovely bargains I have just bought—namely, Black Bracelets, 6d Ser pair. They look like real jet. Such lovely feckletß, with lockets, 3s each. They look like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will give you your money back. I will now give your hus bands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftcner by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them is that though " tbx-y may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well as many that are 18 carat, and somebody loßes awfully on them, I can assure you. As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of which is Is a pair. The smaii shopkeepers should buy quickly my round Poking Glasses at Bd, Is, and Is 6d per dozen; Silk Cushion Cord, 6d per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; Towels, 3d; fresh lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I want to see how many sensible tailors will come and buy my E0 inch Tape Measures at Id each, worth 6d; my Liden Machine Thread at Cda 2oz. reel, and my Tailor's Thimbles at 9d a doz.. worth 3d each. If all the women in Auckland were as sharp as my lady customers, I shouldn't have any 200. > ard reels of ulazed Cotton left to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at 4d per dozen; but there are sure to be some Stupid women in every country. My Ruche t diif ta'? li'"tt'? 1T >l "iJ" fioinic well at id ayard. I shouldnt be at ml surprisea due-whim uameor the ladies have been telling their husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s Cd, as there has been a great run on them lately. I have also some at 2s. Handsome Coloured Batin Fur niture Trimming, 6d per yard; Coloured Fur- Braid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards'; Black Bogle DreßS Gimp, reduced to Id per yard. Isn't it a wonder ladies that I manage to live when I am continually reducing something for you. Satin and Velvet Tubular Trimming, 2d per yard: White Diamond Braid, 6d per dozen yards ; Window Blind Cord, Gd per dozen yards; White Handled Knives and Forks, 9d per pair; Men's Coloured Shirts, 2s; Crimean ditto, 2s 6d to 1b ; 18 knots of Piping Cord for 6d, or two a penny; American Cloth for table covers, Is 3d per yard. Some ladies I hear are mak ing Cushions with my twopenny Hair Pads, and Antimacassars of my Hamburg net. I wish moro of the Men know what good wives they hove to be so ingenious. Ladies Handsome Bags, 4s Gd; Brazil Nuts, Cd per lb; a fresh lot of the Wonderful. Two Shilling Tea. I have'nt had any Children's Poll Combs to boast of lately, but I have now at 3d to 6d each; handsome Bodkins, 3d a doz; Shoe Brushes, with veneered backs, 3 for 2s 6d; a few dozen Pork Pie Hats lelt, reduced to 4d each; a few Men's Courier Bags left at 2s and 2s Gd. Will you believe that lam seliinc Linen Shirt Fronts with or without collarß, at 6d each; about half of them are already gone. Black Braid, 4d a dozen yards; Grey and Brown do. 6d a i;gross;: Green and Purple do, Is Gd a i-gross : white handled Knives, 3d each; a few Rink Mufls left, 3s Gd each; a few Waterproof Coats left, reduced to Gs each ; colored Bag Bindina. id a dozen yards; a few Men's Patant Leather Leggings left, reduced to 3s Gd a pair. I am selling Carte-de-Visitea of the principal people in the world at lOd each cv- 8s a dozen"; Cabinet size, Is Gd each. What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, aud it will not be long, for I have already sold I should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you ladies to,buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d to Is as soon as you can, as I have bought over 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling 6dand 9d a pair, and they are beauties ; ladies high Buttpn Boots, 5a (id. Some ladies have sense enough to give me Is Gd for a good Umbrella, but they don't all appear to have. Military Braid reduced to id a dozen yards. I ' will now 'open: a fresh lot of Chignons in separate boxes and sell them at Is. All the others I now reduce to 9d. I have also a great bargain in Ribbon at 1& to 8d a yard ; do. nearly 3J- inches wide* la; black Vulcanite Chain, 9d a yard; green blue violet and drab -Dress* Gimp, 2d a yard; also green, blue, and drab Silk fringe, 3d a yard, Come and see my handsome Black Hair and Hat Ornaments, from 3d to9d;.

Now lam not going to :say that there iB one bad woman in Auckland, but .still I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of me as usual, and hug them a!l to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about the wonder ful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and tell the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I nave a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. There is one advantage the ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what they wish to remember.

TkstiM'^ials can be seen on application to the Prop* tor, at his residece, top of Wake fleld-stree t. The strongest recoramendnon for this mcd cine is its ownintrinsic wortba? shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker thankfully acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those (already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before-the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing lqng geated diseases and averting threatening siek noßS. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c., has Ions: been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease; and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorers fair and impartial trial. And 'Jbs Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri ying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Wood is tne cause of mo3t sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire syEtem. N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchen s Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure:— Bokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr.HITCHENS,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank yon very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fltted by the attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and its cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used such illnatored remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it a trial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to fh«mk God that you were at hand to provide t>* nns of my rapid cure, and enable me ■>-•■■-• more to attend to my household duties. Youre very gratefully, Mrs. Waltek Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefield-strset TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. De. Hassaix's Repoet. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, si, Holborn Viaduct, E.G.. London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Habtv We have subjected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Aethtjr H.

It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniuridus impurity, and has evidently been! distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of" the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale.
