RHEUMATIC OINTMENT. A gentle and easily applied remedy for Rheumatism, Stiff Joints, &c,; for Bronchitis in children, for Contusion?, Swellings, Bruises, and Chilblains. SKIN OINTMENT. A very valuable and much required remedy, most effective in its cure of Sores, Ulcers, and Eraptions on any part of the body, and for Ringworms. PILE OINTMENT. Sufferers should fly for instant relief to this unexcelled remedy, as delay in treating this peculiair form of sickness may lead to serious results.

Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rhkumatis-m. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .sufferedt'severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in 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 iniured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almoßt 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. 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 stiff, after sitting on the box for a longtime, 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 jgo 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 is 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.

This Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending' money at current rates of interest upon tne security of landed property situated within the Colony of New Zealand; and 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to cities or towns, or centres of population, in the Colony of New Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots as may suit purchasers. With a fast increasing population both in town and country, a very fine climate, and land of great fertility opened up by the construction of roads and railways, there is an almost in exhaustible fie'd for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it is one very little occupied. This Company intends to occupy that field, and to offer to the public—particularly to farm settlers, and the working population generally— facilities for acquiring property, and for erecting houses, or effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on reasonably moderate terms. And the Company can do so profitably to the. shareholders, while at the same time help is given to people who are willing to pay ade quately for the advantages and accommodation offered. In no case -will money he lent otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kept. The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring payment of the price,—so much being paid as a deposit when the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for instalments, spread over n limited period of from one to three years, the title being only granted when the price is fully paid up. This Company, in consequence of being in. a position to pay in Cash at once, will certainly be able to buy property on much more favourable terms than buyers on deferred payments ; and it is certain that, by the exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can be done by bujing land and selling again in lots to suit purchasers. . It is very well known that Companies in New Zealand having objects similar to those of this Company have been able, notwithstanding very limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to capital. It is not intended to call up more than £1 per share, at the outset at least. The Promoters consider that, with 10s. per share paid up, the Company may make a fair beginning; and they confidently anticipate that, besides paying a good dividend to the. Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, be able from time to time, out of profits, to make additions to Capital. The turn over of Capital will he quick, and there will no doubt be available soon a considerable amount of money from deposits made by people both at Home and in New Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary. Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, or from the Bankers, at the Welling ton Office, or at any of the Branches, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association may be'seen in the hands of the Secretary. „.., Should no Allotment be made, the Deposit will be returned without any deduction. • Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street,.■( Wellington, October, 1878.
