WILLIAM PIRIE, Chimist and Druggist, fee Winton MEDICAL BOTANY The increasing demand for Botanic Medicines may be taken as strong proof of their virtue over the various mineral medicines. That minerals are not fit for the human stomach may be proved from the fact that we have no mineral food; if so, then why should we have mineral medicine" Professor Liegberg says " The chief purposes of the soil is to change the minerals into vegetable substances for the support of animal life." Therefore we think every sane person will admit that if minerals cannot support life they are not to be relied on to restore health. The undersigned having fer some years past made the science of Medical Botany his special study, and having also opened up communication with some of the best houses in America, where this science is carried out fully and taught in the largest Universities, is now in a position to supply tbe Best Botanic Remedies; also the following compounds, which are guaranteed not to contain any mineral poisons: — The Dandelion Coffee is at once a food which may be taken by the healthy, with the assurance tbat it -""ill tend to keep the Stomach, Liver, and the whole Digestive Organs in good health, and also assist nature in bringing back health where it has been lost. It is only 2s per lb., Ulb tins ls. All are earnestly requested to give it a trial. The Dandelion Pills, perfectly tasteless, are said by the numerous patrons to be the Best Pills ever yet tried for gently moving the Bowels; cure headaches, pain in the side, indigestion ; 30 of these valuable Pills for ls ; three boxes, 2s 6d. The Botanic Ccugh Syrup cannot be excelled for children's coughs. Why should parents have their children coughing when a ls 6d bottle of this mixture can cure them. For coughs and colds the Balm of Gileadon cold cures cannot be surpassed. It has wrought wonders in Dunedin. One man complains that the 2s 6d bottle is too large, as a few doses always cures him— 2s 6d per bottle ; five bottles, 10s. A novelty herb tobacco, a mixture of aromatic herbs for smoking it, gives you a pleasant perfume, which females say they enjoy. Within the last few weeks nearly 1000 packets of this have been sold — 2oz packets, 6d each. Herbal Pills for all complaints ; and a full line of all our Botanic preparations (wholesale and retail) can be had from our agents — MESSRS MATHESON & CO., Dee street, Invercargill.

HALL k JOHNSON Conduct the Dyeing, Cleaning, and Waterproofing in the best style, with a finish like new material. They manufactui-6 Dyes that can be used by any amateur for the most delicate and fashionable shade of color ; which for permanency and durability surpass anything of the kind ever before introduced to the public, either at Home or in the | Colonies. They manufacture a Parisian Washing f Fluid, which, for its invaluable cleausirg properties, resembles that used in tbe Laundries of Holland, France, and England ; and the most tender hands can use it with impunity, as rubbing is not necessary ; besides, another very important desideratum is, that it in no way impairs the quality of the fabric of *he material. — (See Professor Black's Report.
