A SEVERE KICK.

Mr. W. Martin Forster, the well-known chemist of Mackay, Queensland,. sends the VI following letter to the Charles A. Vogeler Company, the proprietors of St. Jacobs oil :—

"Gentlemen, Although lam aware it is contrary to the custom of the trade to publicly endorse a patent medicine of foreign origin, yet I think I may be pardoned for saying a few words in favour of St. Jacobs oil. About a year ago I received a severe kick on the leg from a horse ; so severe, indeed, that I fully expected to be incapacitated from attending to my business for at least a fortnight. I received the injury at night, and before morning the leg had swollen to an enormous size. The pain was very acute, and I was unable to do anything my assistant being absent. In this emergency, by my wife's aid, I procured from the shop a bottle of St. Jacobs oil, with which I soaked a pad of lint, and kept it applied to the injured part for a few hours,' when, to my surprise and delight, the pain left, and before night I was able to attend to my business. I may say I suffered no further inconvenience from the kick, although an enlargement of the bone, which remained for several months afterward, attested pretty substantially the severity of the blow dealt me by the horse,—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, "W. M. Forster.- ■ "■' Mackay, September 8, 1887."

Beautiful teeth and healthy gums are ensured by using Dr. Scott's Electric Tooth Brush. There is no greater pleasure on earth than the delightful feeling of health and freshness that results from the application of electricity to the teeth. It stops decay, and effectually prevents tainted breath. All chemists, or Kempthorne, Prosser.

Cashmere Boquet is the most delicately perfumed toilet soap in the market. Its effect on the skin is marvellous. Ladies using this soap once will never use any other. " It imparts a charming fragrance to the skin, and a softness and bloom that no other toilet preparation can equal.

Indigestion and dyspepsia yieM to no violent remedies, or medicines compounded of noxious drugs. Nature requires gentle treatment and natural remedies. - EmQ Frese's Hamburg tea is purely herbal and palatable. It will remove the most obstinate symptoms and regulate the system better than any drastic mixture.

Gilbert's Cornflour in the kitchen and sick-room will yield a larger percentage of easily assimilated nourishment than any other brand, or the finest prepared arrowroot, sago, rice, or tapioca. Its uses are legion ; so are its virtues. Use Gilbert's at once—if you try the cheaper kind first you may nob survive to give Gilbert's a trial. Verdict: Death from eating unwholesome cornflour, with a rider censuring the grocers for sellins adulterated food. "
