One of Levinsky’s customers was notorious for his slowness in meeting his liabilities. He simply would not pay for goods purchased. In desperation Levinsky sent the following letter:— “ Sir, —Who bought a lot of goods from me and did not pay?—You. But who promised to pay in sixty days? You. Who didn’t pay in six months? You. Who is a scoundrel, a thief, and a liar?—Yours truly, Al. Levinsky.”

“This man’s difficulties are of his own making, and cannot be pleaded as an excuse for him,” remarked His Honour Mr Justice Blair in the Napier Supreme Court, when referring to a case in which a plea was being made for a bankrupt. “His case reminds me of that of the man who murdered his father and mother and then asked for leniency on the grounds that he was an orphan,” remarked his Honour.

It is particularly valuable, because it can be taken every night if necessary, as it cannot possibly do any harm, because it contains no drugs.

Recourse may be had to this medicine, when the bowels or liver are deranged,

as evidenced by giddiness, headache, drowsiness, furred tongue and impure breath. It is pleasant to take and does not upset the system. Price 2/6 bottle. E. C. Ayres, Ltd., Chemists, Timaru.
