It ia in every respect well up to the standard of previous numbers, being replete with information of much interest to Taranaki settlers. Napier Telegraph. j A copy of the West Coast SI ar almanac and directory is to hand from the publishers, Hawera. It bears evidence of careful compilation, and embraces in its contents a vuriety of subjects likely to prove of interest and value. Manawatu Times. We are indebted to the publishers for a copy of the Stab Almanac, a very useful publication to all business men en this coast, as it contains such an immense amount of varied information, commercial, t statistical, and political, required ia everyday life, that no one should be without it. Kangitikei Advocate. A copy is to hand of tho Hawera Star Almanac for 1902, which is well up to the usual standard, and contains a large amount of information of special value to the farmers, and to business men and others. The Star Almanac is recognised as the best of the kind issued in the colony. H.B. Herald. We have received from the Hawera and Normanby Stab a copy of their almanao for 1902. This is a very complete and handy work of reference for that district, and the directory, which takes in the towns from Palmerston North to New Plymouth, is a most extensive one. The book is one of the best of its kind we have seeD. Chrißtchurch Press. We havo to acknowledge a copy of the Stab Almanao an I West Coast Directory for 1902, published at the office of the Hawera Stab. The volume is admirable for reference purpo-es, and the directory is very complete, including as it does Palmerston, Feilding, Marton, Wanganui, Hawera, New Plymouth, and all intermediate centros. Egmont Settler. | We have again to acknowledge receipt of that valuable book " The Star Almanac." This publication is now becoming so closely connected with the business life of Taranaki that commercial and professional men cannot afford to do without it. The Almanac carries an almost inexhaustible Bupply of information, and should find a placa on every bookshelf. Waitara Mail. We have just received a Star Almanac and West Coast Directory for 1902. The c mpilation has been made more complete as the years have gone by, until to-day the book seems to have within its pages all the information one could possibly expect to find therein. Personally, we use the Directory a good dea^ and we can recommend it as a really useful publication. Ohinemuri Gazette. We have to ackonwledge the receipt of the Parkinson Star Almanac and West Coast Directory for 1902. This is the nineteenth year of publication of this popular work, and it will be found a trustyworthy guide. The directory includes all the towns and villages between Palmerston North and New Plymouth, and as a guide between those places it is indispensable. Tarauaki Herald. That useful publication, the Star Almanack, is to hand from the publisher, and as usual is brimful of useful information for which people are looking every day. The directory portion has apparently been carefully revised and brought up to-date. To business men as well as to country settlers the Star Almanac is almost indispensable. A particularly useful feature is the garden calendar. Nelson Colonist. We have received from the publisher a copy of Parkinson's Stab Almanack and r West Coast Directory, issued at the Star 1 Office, Hawera. This publication within its pages embraces a complete 1 directory of the West Coast of the I North Island, from Palmerston North to , Mokau inclusive, as well us a large amount ( of useful information, evidently compiled with much care, and admirably presented n clear intelligible form. The work is oue of tbe best of its kind produced in the Colony, and does credit to the establishment from which it is issued. News, New Plymouth. Christmas is with us once again, and with it that ever welcome and indispensable publication, the Star Almanac. This book, which is in Us nineteenth year of publication, continues to increase in usefulness. Each year the painstaking compiler adds some uew feature, increasing its value to the farmer, the merchant, the shopkeeper, and the professional man. It contains a' complete list of all centres of population on the west coast cf the North Island, and, considering the , shifting nature of nil colonial popula- | tions, a wonderfu ly correct directory. It also contains a mass of statistical information, a very useful garden calendar, tables of great valuo to farmers, information regarding stamp duties, and a brief synopsis of a number of statutes bearing ; on everyday life. In bulk it has increased from 368 to 448 pages since last year ; but owing to careful editing and compilation, and the admirable arrangement of the matter it contains, its usefulness is doubled. It is published from the Hawera Star Office, and sold at, the low price of Is 3d, but can be obtained from all booksellers. It should find a place in every home and business place in Taranaki. Manawatu Standard. One of the most useful publications issued in the colony is undoubtedly the Star Almanao and West Coast Directory. A copy for 1902 has just come to hand from the enterprising publisher, Mr W. A. Parkinson, of Hawera, and it is quite equal in point of completeness to any of its predecessors. The work is neatly printed, admirably compiled, and altogether reflects the greatest credit on the office from which it emanated. Wanganui Chronicle. Parkinson's Star Almanac and West Coast Directory^ for 1902. As usual, the publication is decidedly creditable to the publisher, Mr W. A. Parkinson, of the Hawera Star. In addition fco tho direotory which embraces a full list of the inhabitants of Wanganui, Palmerston, and New Plymouth, and all the intervening settlements, the Almanao contains a large quantity of very interesting and instructive matter. There are, for instance, agricultural and other stntistics, a carefully compiled summary of the statutes affecting the farming community, a table of Customs duties, mail intelligence, farm and garden calendars, and, in Bhort, information of use and value to every section of tli6 community, Tbe Star Direotory is well got up and cleanly printed, and, published as it is at a price whioh brings it within the reaoh ' of all, it should find a large circulation.

DOCTORS PUZZLED. In the town of Echuoa a case has recently ocourred which is the talk of the town and district. People marvel and cannot believe what their eyes have seen. Mr. Michael OBrien is a respected citizen, and well known in the community, and the public can vouch for this remarkable restoration to health and happiness. He relates:— " I have been a _^»s«^ great sufferer f*CTb< ffi&*9^ during the last f* I» fglL—7 nes ; also three A\QnJSLiX.

I was in a <bfjf J iMBQ^V * and had lost all a email book was left at my house, and this (upon reading the cases that had been cured by your Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills), put new hape in my heart, and I at once purchased a bottle from Mr. Cunningham, the chemist, and upon using this bottle of your Pills, I found they had made a great improvement in my health. I purchased in all eight bottles, and am now in the best of health, which I owe to Dr. Morße's Indian Root Pills. My case was one of severe indigestion, being informed by the Doctor to that effect. You may publish this, as it may be the means of helping those who may Buffer from a similar complaint. Being well known in this town, there are many who will con- i firm all I have stated in this letter." Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are aperfecfc blood puriSer, and a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils and blotches and female ailments.
