Although the modern Materia Medica in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all 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 it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The question naturally presents itself, "'Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed V The only 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. Aitherto 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 hitherto 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 cases, and after 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. tsr Caution. —Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges; it should be generally known that every torm where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It ia therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation of Pho3phorus not perfectly soluble in water. _ Protected by Royal Letters Patent,s!____- Dated October 11th, 1869. WF^^^^^MSjF^^^^a (OZONIC OXYGEN). The New Curative Agent and only Reliable Remedy for Nervous and Liver Complants. Multitudes of people are hopelessly suffering from Debility, Nervous and Liver Complaints, Depression of Spirits, Hypocondiia, Timidity, Indigestion, Failure of Hearing, Sight, and Memory, Lassitude, Want of Power, &c, whose cases admit of a permanent cure by the new remedy PHOSPHODYNE (Ozonio Oxygen), which at once allays all irritation and excite ment, imparts new energy and life to the enfeebled constitution, and rapidly curps every stage of these hitherto incurable and distressing maladies.

PULVEItMACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency tnereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, hy a variety of troublesome ail menl s, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout * Constipation Local Debility General Debility Feni_le Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no coniectiu-e. but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that POL VERM ACHER'S GAL VAJSi 10 CHAIN BANDS, by supnlying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful exoerience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of theso appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26, 1877. "Dear Sir,— ! have been *a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last, 6h years I have not been free from it for one minute ; a ad 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 PulvcrmachePs 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 • ecn 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 heen 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. "Gr.
