A SEVERE KICK.

— ♦- Mr. W. Martin Forster, the well-known chemist of Mackay, Queensland, sends th-> following letter to the Charles A. Wei-r Company, the proprietors of St. Jacoboil :— " Gentlemen, Although lam aware it is contrary to the custom of the trade to publicly endorse a patent medicine of forek-a 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 incap&' citated from attending to my business for at least a fortnight. I receive! the injury at ni«-ht, and before morning the leg had swollen to an enormous .size' The pain was very acute, and 1 was unable to do anything my assistant being absent. In this emergency, by my 1 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, ana 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 the blow dealt me by the horse.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully,

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 stopdecay, and effectually prevents tainted breath. All chemists, or Kempt home. 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 yield to ej violent remedies, or medicines compounded of noxious drugs. Nature requires gentle treatment and natural remedies. En.il 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 an! 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 leg-ion : so are its virtu ess. Use Gilbert's at once—if you try the cheaper kind first you may not survive to give Gilbert's a trial. Verdict: Death from eating unwholesome cornflour, with a rider censuring the grocers for selling adulterated food.

What ? Gone ? —Yes, sir, train left ten minutes ago Why don't you buy a Watkrburt ?" W hen other watches cease to go, A nd worthless seem to thee, T he Water bury time will show Exact, and prove to be, Regardless of its trivial price, Beyond all others true ; Useful, not showy, yet entice R espectiul praise from you. Yield homage, then, where due!
