This mammoth cheese has been manufactured at the Edendale Dairy Factory by Mr. James Sawyers, one of the leading cheese makers of the colony. It contains £lO worth of coins ranging from half sovereigns to threepenny pieces, and slices of it will be sold during the Show at one shilling a piece.

Yet astronomers are not satisfied even with this, and efforts are continually made to secure ideal conditions for a clock by keeping it not only in an air-tight case, but in an underground vault, where neither changes of temperature nor of barometric pressure shall ever affect it. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received, giving accounts of its good works ; of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured ; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effects, and of the dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for whooping cough, has shown that its robs that disease of all dangerous results. It is especially prized by mothers because it contains nothing injurious and there is net the least danger in giving it, even to babies. It always cures and cures quickly. D.B.Harris sells it.
