Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Drivbr> 21 ykars resident, of Lon(J-St^2/NG Rheumatism. \ jSuickland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l hacewiuffered severely and most acutely from Rb*"lmatism for many years, brought on, I bt'iieve, from exposure to all weathers in th« exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except la one position. Day and night I was full of Excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially ininred. 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 many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. 1 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 hud a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, iv bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, 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 3 quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of ; course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir, yours ■ gratefully, Henry Maiden. i To H. E.

I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO DIS CUSS the following subjects with either the St. James's or any other Discussion Class :•— Did Julius Caesar ever wear a Belltopper, or, if he did, was it anything equal to those I am sel ling at 8s? Did he wear a Satin Scarf on Sun days, or, if so, was it as goo<? as mine at Is? Did. his mother wear a Crinoline, and, if SO, could it -possibly be equal to mine at la 6d, un less she stole it? Did Mrs, Julius Caesar wear Josephine Kid Gloves, or, admitting that she did which I think is doubtful, were they equal to mine at Is 6d a pair? Did Mary Queen of scots use a Hand Mirror, or was it as handsome or as large as I sell for 3s? Were Dre-s Im pioversin fashion in her time? or were they a ias good as mine at 6d each ? Were there any Babies in the 9th century, or, if bo, did their mothers buy thorn Puff Boxes with puff like mine at Is 6d? Was Sfcakespeare ever talked of half so much in. his time by the ladies as W. H. Dampier is ? Do the Ladies of Auckland care as much to read the "Twelve Tribes of Israel" as they do to read Dampier's advertisement? 1 shall, of course, take the negative side on all the above subjects if called npon, excepting "Wore there any Babies in the 9th century," which I am not quite prepared to deny entirely, but firmly beiieve that they were not half so numerous in Auckland at that time as they appear to be now. And now, Ladies, I have to talk about subjects a little more serious. "Xou know the Fashionable Two-button Kid Gloves I bought you lately ? well, there arc only three pairs left oat of 20 dozen, so let that, be a warn ing to those ladies " who put off till to-morrow what they should do to-day. 1 have now a nice lot of Fresh Bargains, including Josephine Kid Gloves, but only No. 6 Bize'mind, so that it is necessary to have either children or,girls, or to have very small hands yourself. Those ladies who are always behind will stand a good chance, if they don't mind, of being too late also for my new lovely thickly-fringed Silk Scarves at Is 6d, and which are going well. Before I forget it, I beg to tender the ladies my f-incero thanks for bringing their husbands with them lately to buy Hats and Vest} of me, and when I got inta Parliament, which " may" be next year, I won't, as far as I am coi/ccrned, allow any duty to be put on Babies' Cradles, though babies are so plentiful. I may as well 'ell the ladies, how ever, that I have a " down" on infants from one to two years old, as they rob me at every opportunity. They are not particular whether it is a pair of Pretty Blue or Bed Boots, which I sell, " when they let me," at Is J)d, or whether it is a reel of my Machine Thread, for which they can have no earthly use, and which are going fast at 3d. I have already sold, as near as I can toll, about 8 dozen of the Falls from 9d to Is eaoh. I have s»ld about 25 dozen Boys' Felt Hats at 2s in two days short of five weeks, and the number of Men'o Black and White ditto I have sold these last two weeks at 2s 6d is wonderful. You can give a few Stay Bußks away to the poor now ladies, as I have bought lately 00 dozen, a bargain, and will sell them at 3d a pair; also Ladies' White Cornets, i 2s a pair; and 86 dozen ditto, much superior, at 3s, a little spotted, but none the worse. Tell your lady friends, so that they may not require to use my new lot of id Handkerchiefs to cry in when they hear of their being all sold.

Men's Braces, Is. lam sorry to say I have only about 2 dozen lid Socka left for the good married men out of 20 dozen, and don't know when I shall bo able to sell such good ones again at the price.

QO TMPEKIAL SCHIEDAAi SCHNAPPS. Dk. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution 5i Holborn Viaduct, E.C., London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sen napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected 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 tracer 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) Arthur H.

The Australian Anti-Fever Tree—That is, the Blue Gum, or Eucalytus globulus—has now spread its fame throughout the world, though many do not properly estimate its splendid qualities. The Essence as manufactured by Messrs Sander and Son, although not a panacea for every ill that flesh is heir to, is, nevertheless a Grand Remedial Agent. ■ In Scarlet, Typhoid, or any case of Fever nothing will protect better against contagion than a few drops of the essence poured in the palm of the. hand, and rubbed in, in order to liberate the vapours, or sprinkled over the clothes. The perfume will be noticed for a great length of time. Inwardly used, take three or our drops in half a tumbler water. The essence effects a most surprising change, of fthe whole constitution correcting Indigestion, and creating a Healthy Appetite. ' In Cases of Sickness, a few drops put into a saucer, and put into the room, will, being an etheric essence, evaporate, and fill the room" with the purifying vapour. Are you obliged to travel 1 A few drops oc casionally rubbed on the body will protect against any contagion you may be exposed to in coming direct with sick persons, or in sleeping m the same room with, or in beds occupied pre viously by, sick persons All Hotelkeepers will do well in sprinkling from time to time in drawers, where linen is usually kept, a few drops of the pure essence. It produces no spots whatever, as every particle of it evaporates, and nothing remains. For all Wounds, Cuts, Burns, Scaldings, Ulcers and Cancerous Wounds, a piece of linen wrapped round the suffering part, and moisted with a few drops of the eucalypti essence, will stop all pain, and effect a speedy cure. In cases where a piece of linen cannot be applied, the moistening of the suffering part with the pure essence will do as well. In Case of Colds, moisten the nostrils with a few drops and inhale the vapour, and you will feel the immediate relief and entire riddance of the heat. Sole Agent for Auckland and District: A I C.
