GOOD ADVICE.

* We are now convinced that a bottle of St Jacobs oil should find its way into the house of every cycler, and in fact into every house. For rheumatism, in particular, it acts like a charm ; and in fact the oil, in the words of those who advertise it, truly “ conquers pain.” We commend to the careful and intelligent notice of our readers the names of such famous men as Beach, Hanlan, Furnival, Pullinger, Adams, Painter, Wade, Woodside, and others of equal prominence, who have written the Yogeler Company testimonials. Those giant athletes, together with a host of other well known men, have appended'their signatures to statements that prove that St Jacobs oil is no bogus preparation made up to sell, like, alas! many we know of, but a thoroughly bona fide and genuine article, which will and does do what its proprietor claims for it. Our readers will thus see that we are very firm believers in the virtues of this preparation, and we are not singular in our belief. Beyond the high testimony we have received from Messrs Furnival and Adams, it should be noticed that the champions in almost every other sport or pastime prevalent in Great Britain, the United States, and the colonies—particularly Australia—have placed on record their high opinions of the remedy. We do strongly advise our readers, therefore, never to be without a bottle of St Jacobs oil, and if they are only wise enough to take our advice they will assuredly not regret it. . .

JUSTIFIABLE PROVOCATION.

The word Watebbury (the name of the city in the U.S.A. where these celebrated watches are manufactured) has become a synonym, throughout these colonies, as else-, where, for all that is exact and trustworthy as regards to pocket timepieces. The Waterfa ury watches themselves provoke the admiration of all who wear them. The testimony in their favour is overwhelming, and admits of no disputes, while their reputation stands absolutely unrivalled. All their parts are made by the most beautiful automatic machinery so wonderfully perfect that it would seem impossible for human ingenuity to accomplish more. The Australasian Agents of the Waterbury Watch Oompany have received thousands of testimonials from grateful wearers of their watches, and every mail brings fresh evidence in support of their wonderful popularity. The following are a few samples of the opinions of those who, having worn these watches, have learned from experience to appreciate their excellent qualities: —Messrs Mudie & Co., general storekeepers, Warrumbungul, write under date July 30, 1890 :— ‘ We have received the watches sent by you, which have given great satisfaction. As to the one repaired, the owner would not give it for the best English lever. He says, “It has been a right good friend to me, and I mean to stick to it to the last, and have st ‘ doctored ’ each time it is ill, the same as myself and that is not often. ’” Mr Arthur Taplin, Cobitty, March 3, 1890, writes :— ‘ lam perfectly satisfied with the Waterbury Watch I have in my possession. I’ve seen a good many of the watches, and it is the general opinion that they are good, cheap watches.’ Mr James Buckley, Hanging Rock, February 7, 1890, writes :— * I consider the Waterbury Watch one of the premier watches of the age, and an invaluable boon to miners and buslimen. Considering the njimber in use in this district there can be no two opinions as to the general satisfaction they give.’ Mr Geo. Plummer, storekeeper, Dubbo, July 18,1890, writes : —‘ lam using one of ‘J ’ Waterburys with every satisfaction, and have sold scores. In no case have I had any complaints from buyers.’ Mr George Aylvvyn, Gurley station Narrabri, August 22, 1890, writes :— ‘ I have carried one of the old series Waterbury Watches for over two years, doing a good deal of riding, and have found it give entire satisfaction, and it has never yet required repair. I have now been using one the ‘ J ’ series for the last year, and find it equal to the best watch I ever had.’ The faithful Waterbury Watches may bo obtained from any respectable storekeeper or dealer throughout New Zealand. Price: Series E, the old favourite, 13s 6d ; Series J (Gents’ size) and L (Ladies’ size), ti e new marvels of American horological ingenuity—shortwinding, stem-setting, and with enamel dials, 22s 6d each.
