CHALLENGE. IT having come to my ears that certain interested parties are circulating damaging (?) reports about me as follows — that I do not keep faith with the public as regards a ssvine of 25 per cent, to customers who favour me with their despensing, that the quality of drugs used is not np to the mark, and several similar absurd canards, I hereby publicly Challenge any Chemist and Druggist throi^'bout the length and breadth of New Zealand to a thorougn comparison of prices and quality before any impartial judge (the public is the best). My Drugs are all directly imported from the very best wholesale druggists in England and America, and are guaranteed absolutely pure, no article being taken into stock without it answers the minutest tests of the British Pharmacopoeia. The public are cautioned against any and all ot these absurd statements. Each and all can easily prove my assertions or otherwise. I am confident of the verdict being in my favour. I would also caution the public against '" advertising quacks " or " cure alls," whole sole recommendation is a bogus degree or a medical art union. A 10s customer is guaranteed a large prize of a Is value. Remember this — 103 spent with the undersigned means a saving to the purchaser of at least 2s 6d. A. M.
