Moran, a well-known and popular baker, of Petersburg, Va. "We have given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has always given perfect satisfaction. It was recommended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children, as it contains no opium or other harmful drug." Price, Is 6d; big size, 3s.

The following testimonial shows the uejlv of Needham's Salve:—Mr. Needham,—Your Salve is first-class for drawing and healing. Its speedy effects on wounds is surprising. Every mother of a family ought to keep a supply at hand, most especially in country places, where safe and sure remedies such as your Salve, applied quickly, saves much pain and doctors accounts. I consider no home compl without it, —James Florence, ' Agents for Needham's. Salve, Co-opra'ive Society, New Plymouth. —Advt. i , afTrr the royal visit. Abt.sr exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well a- mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the th ug'itful pwent will be careful above c'l to nee that her child has the proper nourishment t> establish its constitution, A good constitution is a reck on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the va'ious foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhaves Food fob Infants and Invalids. According to tne best melical testimony, and, what ia perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of all ages with decided benefit. It is a bone-buitding, health-sus tainisg product that carrot be too warmly recommended and we gladly add our words of praise to tbat of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it. Nbavb's Food should have a prominent place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
