T ADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS !— JS_J Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing Machine. First: Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers about Machines which, are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-lite repeatthepuff. 2nd: Beware of purchasing a Sewiug Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can confidently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.

Yes, J. LEVST has proved himsolryour friend in the truest sense of the word, for was he not solely the means by which you were enabled to obtain Ready-made Clothing here in Auckland at prices but slightly in advance for what they were made in England for. His doing so did not please those who had been " fleecing " you, and many have been the efforts made to "shut" him up. But notwithstanding all, J. LEVY still knocks out. and has seen the process of "whitewashing" applied to many of those who styled themselves your friends, whilst he feels that he himself stands out as a " brand plucked from the burning." And why is it thus? J. LEVY at once openly confesses he owes it all to the strong support which he has received from the Working Classes, and would at this time especially direct their attention to the fact that his WINTER STOCK for 1878 is now unpacked, and will defy competition, whether as regard to style, durability, and the LOW FIGURES at which they are marked. Just cast your eyes down the following list, and you will be astonished :— Men' Heavy Woollen Shirts (extra sizes), 3s 6d I —worth 7s 6d Boys' and Souths' ditto, 2s 6t>—worth 53 Coloured Moleskins (a large shipment daily ex pected), 4s 6D —worth 8s 6d Men's Galatea Jackets (lined with either wool or Italian cloth), Jss |]d—worth 25s Men's Tweed Trousers, 8s lld—worth 14 6d Trousers aud Vests (superior Mosgiel tweed) 158 I|d—full lvalue, 27s 6d Aberdeen Socks, per pair, Is—worth Is 9d White Shuts (large variety), 3s 6n—worth 6s 6d Overcoats (in Ulsters) from £1 le to ,£4 4s Boys' and Youths' Ulsters (any size), at a very low figure Collars, per box. from 3d. 4Qs.

When you have done so, you will be led to exclaim Is That So !Is That So !! but what will you say when you are told you can get a Crimean Shirt for 3s 6d. One and all will remark "Well, LITTLE LEVY is not a bad sort, we will give him a call." Do so, my friends, and he will not disappoint you. Just Opened—The American Unsurpasaables, a new style of Paper Collar, which do not show the grease. Quite a novelty. Remember the old address :— J.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of linpt rial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the resukof which enables mo to btato that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has aa yet conic under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and is absolutely free from any trace oi! fusil or other injurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schuajjpa. It is very HDiontii to the na.la.te, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria. This Pure Medical Spirit, Superior to any in the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to the Public under the full conviction that it will supersede all others now in use.

For all Skin Deseases, Kheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sniatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronic Dyseutry, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood.

(j Hughes, corner of Shnrtland and I'rinces-street; Mr Robinson, unemist, Par neil; Messrs Hill & Hudson, Victoria-street; Mr. B ai.lwkll, Otahuhu; Mr. Fallwkll-, and T. R .Gillman, Onehunga. Testimonials can be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake fleld-street. The strongest recommendnon for this me d cine is its own intrinsic worthas shewn by the marvel.ous cures effected on well-known and much respected moiubors of our community. The bj^t proof of this is to be found in tje large number of tesstip.iuinals received by the niaker thankfully acknowledging thfl restoration of hjaltli experieiK e<l 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 ola merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means arid 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 Restorera fair and impartial trial. And 'I' 3 Praprietor would have it dis tinctly und or jtood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful etfect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the blood is the cause of moat 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 system. N.B,—Country Settlers will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arreats Colds, allays Fevers, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CUKE. The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of the Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to cure :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr. Hitchkns,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you 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 huaband 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 illnatured 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 thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours very gratefully, _ __ _ TJi Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, - Upper Wakefleld-straet
