PUBLIC NOTICES. MEDICAL. Herbal medication is the most simple, safe, and 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 introduce mineral substances into the human system is to ignore {one of the processes of nature, by which she forma 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 ratal malady after being treated by the old school doctors with the taneful 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, Buohu leaves, American Mandrakerootand other flavoring condiments, 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 Lmpaibkd Digestion. We have received numerous testimonials in their favor; one from a gentleman in Dunedin, who, previous to taking them, bad a Pain in his Back, which soon disappeared after taking them for a time. Another, a lady, said: “Your Hop Bittersare the best medicine I have ever had. I will take other six bottles.” Now, the price of this valuable Medicine is only 2a fid per large bottle of 240z. We make a more concentrated form in smaller bottles, at 2s. 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, Goughs, and Chest Troubles it will be found to be to the advantage of heads of families to keep at haifd our remedies. First is our BALM OF GILEAD AND BRONCHITIS MIXTURE. It is a carefully-selected Compound of the very beat Herbs that experience has found for the Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, and General System.

BOTANIC COUGH SIRUP is a Cough Mixture of surprising efficacy.
