The North Otago Times has this reference to an individual who is supposed to have levanted from that (town : —“ When last seen the supposed levanter was in a more ‘confused’ state than his books c uld possibly be, and he was frequently in a state of ;* confusion,’ the result of holding views diametrically opposed to Blue Ribbonism. On these occasions he has more than once and re-appeared again after a brief interval of solemn sacrifice to Bacchus. It may therefore happen that the individual referred to will turn up again in Oamaru; but should.he not do so, a number of tradesmen will be able to abstract little satisfaction from the perusal of certain {•lios in their respective ledgers. _ Two loc>l bodies will also mourn a deficit, for the recovery of which there is no legal remedy. From what we can gather, there would bo but a melancholy satisfaction derived from briuging the levanter, or supposed levanter, back.”

Holloways Ointment and Pills.— Notable Facts.—lntense heat augments the ( annoyances of skin disease and encourages the ( development of febrile disorders; therefore i they should, as they can, be remove by these 1 detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains, and spasms of the bowels, Holloway’s ungent well nibbed over the affected part immediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threatening diarrhoea and averts incipient cholera. The poorer inhabitants in large cities will find j these remedies to Jbe their best friends when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulcerations point out the presence of taints or impurities within the system, and call for instant and effective curative medicines.— [AdvtJ The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medipine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the county had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in eycry way trying to induce sulering invalids to use. their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put-up .in similar style to H, 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or “Hops ” were used in'a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what - their style or-name is, and especially those i with the word “ Hop • ,br “ Hops ” in their ! name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. _ Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the f white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the . glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and • chemists are srarned against dealing in imita- - tsons or counterfeits.
