Sir,—l have much pleasure iv bearing testi mony respecting the boneflts I have derived by using ycir Compound Syiup ot Kucalyptus, of Lime and Quinine. 1 havo been a great sufferer for the last threo yo«r8 with cheat complaint, durinir which thno 1 have boon frequently under tho care of skilful medical men, both in New Zealand and the neighbouring colonies, but cannot say I ever experienced any benefloia effect from their treatment. Last summer I commenoed taking your Lime Mixture, and am happy to inform you that I have been steadily improving weekly ever since—notwithstand ing two or three severe colds I have had this wlnter-and am'now almost free from com plaint, and can safely Bay, undoubtedly it is tho best medicine I have ever taken, nnd as a sooth ing expectorant it i" not to be equalled. I givo you my name and address, not for publication, but as a guarantee that what I state here is truthful, and should you at any time wish to refer any person to mo, I Bhall be moat happy to inform them of the benefits to be derived from a fair [trial ot your invaluable mixture.—l am &0., M.F.D. (The Original Letter may be seen on applica tion.) Many others suffering from Bronchial and Lung Complaints have borne witness to the un questionable efficiency of in. cases. where the usual remedies have i failed. The effect upon those afflicted with that 1 dreadful disease CONSUMPTION, and Its ] kindred chest affections, is best described in the ] language of one who experienced benefit, as j follows :-" After con_mencing the medicine ( the expectoration came away freely, my cough i appeared to be naturally relieved, arid I could _ then sleep at night, although it was impossible < to get quiet sleep previously—my chest seemed j to have a weight lifted off it, and I could take at breath with freedom. My appetite is' better, [ and I feel altogether stronger, and in a fair way 1 to recovery.' This is literally the language of < many who have tried the Syrup of Eucalyptus _ with Hypophosphites of Limo and Quinine, l This is a pharmecutical preparation of genuino c worth, deserving the cordial acceptance of the s Faculty and tho Public. 1 SOLD IN BOTTLES AT 33 Cd EACH. ] MANUFACTURED AT "THE PHARMACY 1, QUfIBN-STRET.

The Sewing Machines made by the Singer Manufactnriog Company are acknowledged by common consent to be by far the best Sewing Machines that mechanical ingenuity has been able to produce. Although the Singer Sewing Machines are romparative'y late in the field, yet the extrao.dinary demand for them during the past few yeare—as indicated by the successive annual sales—has obliged this enter prising company to increa "their Factories to an extent that seems almost incredible. The largest of their Factories is at Elizabeth, New Jersey. Here, the main building has 1100 feet frontage'; Forging Shops, 700 feet; Foundry.6oo feet by 100 feet; Cabinet Shop, 200 feet; Packing Shops, 200 feet; The main building has four floors; the Cabinet and Packing Shops have each three floors. Entire works employs 3,500 men. The yard contains 6 miles railroad traoks. Thero are also Factories at, or near, the City of Glasgow, and the dimensions of these works may be imagined, when we Bay that 2,500 hand here, as at the American works, find constant employment. The turn-out of Machines alone is 10.000 overy week, or, at tho rate of 500,000 (half a million) for the current year. The various partß and new accessories, needles, on, &c, &o, required for the 3.500,0u0 Sewing Machines, which are in use all over the world these demand special attention and much labour. A Staff of Skilled Mechanics and Sew ing Machine JKxperts is always employed for the sole purpose of making every possible Mechanic*! Improvement on the Machines and accessories. <_nd notwithstanding the Very Great Re duction in Prices, the Company continues to give Wonderfully Kaß?

'.':",', I pURE OF SKIN DISEASED To he Editor: Sir.-Hcrewßh we have_tSe pleasure to forward you a letter from New Zea land bearing testimony to the successful treat ment of a skin disease of long standing through the use of our Eucalyptus Extract for the bene fit of those similarly afflicted.- We hope yon will deem the subject of sufficient importance i t. afford this letter a space in your valuable' paper.-Yours truly, gANDER & Bridge-street, Sandhurst, July, 1880. ': 7 INVBROAROILL. N.Z,, Bth fULY. 1884. , Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. <;•> GENTLEMKN,-Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in tmj colony) for about nine yoars, I had Constniea numerous medical men here and in .Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide 01 potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre/ para-ions of zinc and lead externally. In laoi I had tried all the remedies known to*tne faculty, and what between travelling deeWro and druggists' bills, had spent a email fortune, almost it not wholly without results, except to injure my constitution. During a recent visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try yonr Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a.brother who had experienced great benefit from W in alleviating a very iievere cold, and, no IeBS to my surprise than satisfaction, I found tbe dttenße which had troubled me so long was conauerett, and tbe skin resumed its normal condition. This was effected by the external use of less than two one-ounce bottles. ',„._, You are welcome to make any use you please of this letter, and I subscribe myßelf.^Yours (Signed) JOHN H. KERR.
