IMPROVEMENTS IN MOTOH CARS. AT last we are in a position to offot to the public just what is wanted in Motor Cars required for every-daj use. The four-cylinder engine fitted to a motor car is admitted by all engineers and motorists to give the best results. Owing to the high price in the past for the best makes of four-cylinder cars, many doctors, farmers, and other users are driving cars with single and twincylinder engines, which at the best are noisy, and a very poor substitute for tha four-cylinder system. The new 1908 10-12-h.p. four-cylinder Humber, giving 17-hp. R.A.C. rating, marks a Btep forward in motor-car construction. _ The new Humber is sold at a price previously charged for- single-cylinder cars. On testing the sample Humber on tho flat and hills, we decided to cancel by cable all our orders for one and two-cylinder cars. We now give notice that in fu* ture we will only stock four-cylinder cars. The new Kumber is fully guaranteed. The improvements are tho double ignition by magneto, and accumulators. Tha magneto generates the electricity to explode the charge of petrol gas in tho engines, and never requires re-charging, as in the case of the out-of-date accumulator system. All motorists living in tho country must have magnetos to prevent; being stuck up owing to the accumulators failing. The gate change speed is a decided improvement. _ and can be operated by a boy or girl with the greatest ease. The mechanical lubricator iB a safeguard against an" trouble on tho road due to over-heating bearings caused by the failure of the oil system. The new 10-12-h.p. Humber can be supplied fitted with twoseater bodies or four-seater side-entrancs bodies, also a special model for doctors, with cape, hood, wind shield, etc. Tha public are invited to inspect the sampla Humber. Trial rims are freely given to all those interested. ADAMS, LTD., 34-36, Mercer-street, Sole Agents for New Zealand.— HERBERT DIX, Wellington Manager. St iIOYLAND AND COl SHOP FITTERS, GHUZNEE-ST.

(by a looai. eeporteb.) Calling at 120 Cuba-street, Wellington, ft reporter had an interview with Mra. Mary Turner, which is deemed of sufficient importance to engage the attention of mort readers. In answer to the preisman Mra. Turaer said : — " I have not the least objection to beinj interviewed in regard to the illneas I hati when living in Wanginni seven ye*.r« ago. Quite the roverse, in fact, because I think it is due to other sufferers that they should kaow »f that wonderful m«dicine which I am indebted te for helping me out of my physical difficulties." " Frem wh»t I have been t»ld," laid the I scribo, "I am under the impression that you wore then in a state of debility." I "Yau have been told the truth, then, for I I wai completely run down. You know th« worry of bringing up a family of children ia a great tax up«n a woman, and, besides, I had net had a holiday for a long tima. From commencing to feel tired beforo my w»rk was finished I got t» such an enfeebled condition that I used to feel exhausted before it was begun. All day long I felt weary and depressed, and could not engage I my attention upen any mortal thing that ; might have helped mo to pn«« a few of the dull hours away. Another of my troubles waft that I could net eat. Even tho look •{ food was enough for me, I felt so sick at the sight of it, and/ 1 often used to think that if I I could duly cat a little how much gsod ii [ might do me. A total absence of energy, ! and aching sensations in my limbs, were tha , things that were bt»thering me greatly, i ant} it came to such a pass at length that I ' could not do any work, and had te get a girl ia tha home to do it for me. Then I could get up whatever time I liked in the mornings, and spend the days just aa I fancied, but oven then I waa not happy. I seemed to bo too frightfully low-spirited for anything te make me cheerful, and at last I went to a doctor to tee what ho could do fey mo." " I hope yau progressed well under hit treatment ? " " I used to hope I would, but, alas ! my hopes were all in vain; The medicine* ha gave me had no better oSect than if I had not taken them at all, for I continued to be restless at nights, and have auch herribla dreams that I folt quite weary when I woka up agaiu. Aud talk about nervousness ! That was no name for it, as I was too timid to ge out at night, nnd when my falks wore coming home in the daytime evon they would have to make seme familiar s»un4, aa as to prevent coining upon me suddenly and giving me a fright." "If you did get a shook what waa tha usual result ? " " I fell down in a faint if anything frightened me. Really, I was awfully nervous, and would wake up with a star* sometimes, and often covered with perapirntion. I was a misery to myself aud everybody else around me. At night I burned a light in my room as I was actually afraid to bo in tha dark in my owi house ; co you may imagine the mental torture I endured, and would probably still be oaduriug, only for the wonderful medicine they call Clements Tonic. My husband waa advised te get me seme, but after my other experiences with medicine, I said : ' What is the go«d of taking that stuff?' I was then ignorant of the virtues of Clements Tome, and could net give credence to tha possibility of it doing any good after s» much physic taking had proved futile; but I can sincerely assure yoa that before I had taken much Clements Tonic my opinions in regard to that medicine were decidedly altered, for it nude an entirely healthy woman of me. I used to suffer with ex* cruciating pains in my right side, headaches since childhood, flabnlenee and oppression in the chest, but dements Tonic released me from all thoso torments, besides «a effectively curing me of nervousness that it never troubles mo now. The influence of Clements Tonic upon me was magical, and from the bottom of my heart I recommend those similarly afflicted to resort to tha medicine that cured me." " Would you like to publish this inter* | view?" "Do so for the sake of those who suffer like I did, and publish my story in any way you think beat." STATUTORY DECLARATION. T, Mart Turner, of No. 120 Cub* street, Welling. lon, in tho Colony of N.:w Zealand, do solemnly and sineoi-elj declare that I have carefully read the ■.:m?xed document, C9!i<osting of two folios, and ousncutively numbered fvom one te two, and hat it contains and is a tiuo and faithful a count of ny illness and cure by Clfmonts Tonic ; nnd alsa ontains mi full permission to publish in am way ny statements -which I five voluntarily, «ilh"Ut ■eceivinff any payment; and I lnattc this solemn lecUration conscientiously believingr the same to bo .rue, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of th« fenernl Assembly of Keiv Zealand, intituled "Tho 'usrices of Ttsce Act, 1862." * c/ Ueolattd at Wellington, this seventh day of May, en* thousand sine hundred and thr«e, before m*.
