The Wonderful Waterbury. » • Thousands of testimonials have been received in its favour, and hundreds of editorials have been written in its praise. A watch that everybody can afford to own merits universal recognition, but as everybody could not afford to keep some of the so-called cheap watches in repair, the first cost is not the only thing to be considered before purchasing. The parts of the " Watebbttby" being interchangeable, the cost of repairs are minimised. Undisturbed, the " Wateebukt," like Tennyson's "Brook," "Goes on for ever." But should accident, or an invincible curiosity to "see the inside of if;" lead \ you to tamper with it, or throw ifc out of i gear, it can be at once repaired and re- j turned to you in going order for a sum nofc exceeding, in any case, half-a-crown j ' whilst broken hands or glasses are renewed for sixpence by A. Gundersen, High street, Christchurch.Thusitisnotonlythecheapest to buy but the cheapest to repair; and. the j sum usually paid for "overhauling" a ! Continental or " cheap" English watch is nearly sufficient to purchase a "Water- j bury," which will always give you the ! correct time, and cave you the discomfort | and annoyance inseparable from a tricky, I faithless time mutilator. Do not be deceived by imitations, however clever, offered at a few shillings le6s. The " Watebbttry " is worth thirteen and sixpence, and the fact that over two ] millions have been sent out from the I factory ia sufficient guarantee of its fidelity. i Large shipments have been sent to Europe to compete with continental productions in I their own Btrongholds, and its superior time j keeping record ensures it a certain victory. We wonder what other watch manufacturer can claim such an output ? PEICE-13s Go. EDWARD EEECE AND SON. S. NASHELSKI. M. HARRIS AND SON (Wholesale).

Messrs fander and Sons, Sandhurst — Gentlemen,— Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in this Colony) for j about nine years, I had consnlte 1 ! numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide of potassium, &c, internally, and had used preparations of zinc and lead externally.' In fact, I had tried all the remedies known to the faculty, and what between travelling, doctors' and druggists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost, if not wholly, without : results, except to injure my constitution. During .; a recent visit to Hokitika I was recommended to j try your Extraot Eucalyptus Globulus by abrother ! who had experienced great benefit from it in I alleviating a very severe cold, and no less to my } surprise than satisfaction, I found the disease i which troubled me so long was conquered, and tho •nkin resumed its normal condition. This was Affected by tho external use of less than two twoounce bottles. You are welcome to mate any use j you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself. — j Tours, &c, Signed John H.

They have been largely patronised by wayfarers by hind and sea, nnd, in fact, by all classoa of the community, to their very great advantage. The Pills are beyond all doubt one of ' the most effective remedies ever discovered for cases of obstinate constipation, confirmed indiges- • tion and colic, complaints whioll axe engendered by ! exposure and irregular feeding. The ointment : will ba found of the very greatest service in cases i of piles, abscesses, erysipelas, nnd all iinda of local j ulcerations,-», r .ADTT,j ■
