PUBLIC NOTICES, "ERBAL MEDICATION is the moßt . simple, safe, acd effective of all. Ist. Because it is in harmony with the great natural law that the mineral kingdom supports the vegetable, and the vegetable the animal. To introduoe mineral substances into the human system is to ignore |one of the processes of nature, by which she forms in the soil of the earth, from the minerals, both our food and medicine. It has been affirmed by an old Doctor in America that the CAUSE OF CANCER is mercurial drugging. He cites the history of several families who had developed the fatal malady after being treated by the old school doctors with the I aneful metal, which is a blood poison. We have effected thousands of cures without ever giving a grain of it for internal use. All our compounds are free from it. We will forfeit the sum of LIOO to any pharmaceutical or analytical chemist who can find a trace of it in any of our medicine. We have the largest stock of HERBS, ROOTS, AND BARK EXTRACTS, Etc., to be found in the Australasian colonies. They are from all parts of the world, and we sell them WHOLESALE AND RETAIL at prices about the same as in Britain and America. But some people will not take the trouble to prepare their own medicine, so we make up any of the herbal prescriptions at from Is to 3s, while we keep a stock of our justly celebrated herbal remedies, some of which we now particularise. HOP BITTERS. We have sold during the last five years about Ten Thousand Bottles. We were the first makers in New Zealand of them. They are made of the finest New Zealand Hops, Dandelion roots, Buchu leaves, American Mandrakeroot and otherflavoringcondiments, whichrender them a really good and health-promoting bitter tonic. They may be used in any complaint, but are especially good in Bilious Complaints, want of appetite, wind on the stomach, and the whole train of symptoms arising from Impaired Dnjestion. We have received numerous testimonials in their lavor; one from a gentleman in Dunedin, who, previous to taking them, had a Pain in his Back, which soon disappeared after taking them for a time. Another, a lady, said: •' Your Hop Bitters are the best medicine I have ever had. I will take other six bottles." Now, the price of this valuable Medicine is only 2s 6d per large bottle of 240z. We make a more concentrated form in smaller bottles, at 2a. A reduction is made on the larger of 25 per cent, on half-dozen lots, and of 10 per cent, on the smaller size. This is a medicine that will Prevent Disease, by keeping the vital organs in a state of health. TRUE WINTER FRIENDS. * Now that the season of the year has come round for Colds, Coughs, and Chest Troubles it will be found to be to the advantage of heads of families to keep at hand our remedies. First is our BALM OF GILEAD AND BRONCHITIS MIXTURE. It is a carefully-selected Compound of the very best Herbs that experience has found for the Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, and General System. On j father who has the sole care of a family says: "It is a medioine that I use for my children, and find it Cures them sooner than any other." Another gentleman sayß: "I find it bo effective that my bottle is not half used before lam well." 2s 6d a bottle, one of which will Cure a whole family; five bottles, 10s. In Cases of Coußumption it is needful to continue it for a time. BOTANIC COUGH SYRUP is a Cough Mixture of surprising efficacy. A gentleman came in the other evening and bought two 2s 6d bottles to take over to a friend in Melbourne who tells him that, having tried several cough mixtures, he can find nothing to equal it in or around Melbourne. Children ask for it, it is so pleasant. It is harmless. You could not poison any child with it. In bottles from Is to 2s 6d; five large ones for 10s. COMPOSITION POWDER, ESSENCE AND CORDIAL. The Powder is one of the oldest of the Botani cal Compounds. A teaspoonful of it is infused in a cup of boiling water, stirred, allowed to settle, the clear liquor poured off, sweetened and milk added; it is then a drink that stands highest as a pure stimulant. It Prevents and Cures Colds by equalising the circulation and opening the pores of the skin.. It is also good for cramps, pains in the stomach, etc. The Essence is pleasant to take with a little warm water and sugar. It is far superior to whisky toddy or any alcoholic drink. The Coidial is similar, being ready for drinking as it is. The price of the Powder is 6d per oz, Is 6d |lb, 2s 6d 41b, and 5a lb tin. DANDELION COFFEE AND PILLS.
