CHALLENGE. IT having come to my ears that certain interested parties are circulating damaging (?) reportß about me as follows — that I do not keep faith with the public as regards a saving of 25 per cent, to customers who favour me with their despensing, that the quality of drugs used is not up to the mark, and several similar absurd canards, I hereby publicly Challenge any Chemist and Druggist throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand to a thorough 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 of 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 valueRemember this — 10s spent with the undersigned means a saving to the purchaser of at least 2s 6d. A. M. LOASBY, Wholesale and Retail Manufacturing Chemist, 30 and 174, Princes Street, Dunedin. "\T E W YORK LIFE J3 INSURANCE COMPANY. The 42nd annual report of be New York Life Insurance Company has just reached us, and it will be seen from the figures in another column, is of characteristic brilliancy. The volume of its business is enormous, and the rapidity of its progress most remarkable. Indeed, it displays the mark of a century in a generation, therefore it is not for prolonged life that we can ascribe its greatness, and we can only liken it to the country to which it is indigenous, which, though one of the youngest among the family of nations, is yet one of the most flourishing and powerful of its race. This grand Company has now upward of £61,000,000 at risk, and has for 42 years discharged its obligations with honour to itself and in widespread relief to the recipients of its faithfulness. — N,Z.
