The Coming Football Season.

As the Soason is fast approaching wh en this National Game of games will be in full swing, we think it well to say a word or so a little before, as well as during the Season, to all thoso talcing part in this pastime, which requires so much physical exertion, and also an extraordinary amount of caro to prevent serious Occidents. Most of our footballers, frequently while playing, meet with sonjo description of accident, cither arising from a kick or collision, and often in a manner most unaccountable. Contusions, bruises and abrasions are regular attendants upon every football match, and frequently one or other of these mishaps occur just »i little too closo to the first "spell," when tho player, through the want of some balm cr other to comfort the wounded part, is rcry considerably incommoded upon ontering the next bout, and discovers a great discrepancy in the stylo and e/Eect of his play compared with that of the first innings. Many of our athletes are worshipping at the shrine of "YE BISHOP'S BOTTLE," this moat modern as well as one of the most ancient relievers of pain that is, or ever was, offered to athletes and the world generally. It dbos hot signify how distressing the pain arising from any of the above-named accidents may be, "Ye Bishop's Bottle," reliever and pain cure, will fit and make ready any unfortunate for tho next call of " time," and he will feel thoroughly refreshed and as keen for 1 arther.play as when ho first faced his opponents goal post?. There are many people whose physical exertions are necessarily so great that a "'spell' is absolutely necessary, and to refresh themselves and make ready for "another turn," they simply sponge the chest and arms with "ie Bishop's Bottle" lotion.and the desired lithesome feeling is attained by this means, and the game is renewed and pursued with greater zest than ever. Many a goal has been lost through a shoot ot pain too noticeable to the sufferer to be ignored appearing at the most critical moment of the game, and the member upon whose speed or strength generally so much of the game for his own side depends, fails, through non-attendance to some slight injury. The agents have been ino3t persevering in supplying this lotion to the various chemists and storekeepers throughout Auckland and District, as we perceive all along the lino route to our various football paddocks, " YE BISHOP'S BOTTLE." It is worth a try, and the result will be a aoul with a bio G, ana plenty of applause.
