PUBLIC NOTICES. JOSEPH NICHOLSON’S New Patent Double-speed Back* delivery REAPING AND MOWING MACHINE. The success of the above Machine has been unparalleled in the Colony, as regards the great satisfaction it has given to the agricultural community. 6 Although only introduced late last season, the large number of testimonials received as to its efficiency, and the great number sold, show the estimation which agriculturists place on this new invention. List of First class Prizes awarded in 1872. First Prize— Geelong Agricultural Show First Prize—Ballarat Agricultural Show First Prize—Clunes Agricultural Show First Prize—Smeaton Agricultural Show First Prize—(Silver Medal) Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition First Prize—Beaufort Agricultural Show First Prize—Gipps Land Agricultural Show First Prize—(Gold Medal) Dunedin Agricultural Show Judges’ Certificate-Longford, Tasmania, as the best Reaper for general purposes in the yard. To instantly obtain a change of speed, I supply my new Patent Reaper with an eccentric bush on the axle of the main driving wheel; and my driving wheel is constructed with two sets of toothed gearing of different diameters for driving the pinion through which the knife-bar receives its motion ; the eccentric bush having a lever attached which works in a quadrant with three perforations in it to receive the catch on the spring, and, by simply moving the lever to any of these perforations, the machine can be easily thrown into fast speed, slow speed, or out of gear. It has also Levers attached to both sides of the machine, so as to regulate the height required to be cut. The object of this improvement is to obviate the necessity ©f substituting one pinion for another in order to obtain a change of speed. The great inconvenience and loss of time that arises from this is perfectly well known to ail practical farmers. Having succeeded in this long desired object, I have secured my patent rights all over the world. These Reapers have been largely sold in Otago for ten years, the yearly increasing demand for them, and the hundreds of testimonials received from all quarters, and the best proof of their superiority. To prevent disappointment, orders should be sent to me as eany as possible. Catalogues and prices sent, post free, on application, Sole Agent for Otago— G. F. REID, Stafford street, Dunedin. N.

MEDiCAL, liiiiroimajiiMum HOLLOWAY’S OINTMENT AND PILLS,—For the cure of burns, scalds, wounds, and ulcers, this justly celebrated ( mtment stands unrivalled. Its balsamic virtues, immediately on application, lull the pain and smarting, protect exposed nerves from the air, endue the vessels with the vigor necessary to heal the sore, and confer on the blood a purity which permits it only to lay down healthy flesh in place of that which has become diseased. Holloway’s Pills simultaneously taken, much assist the Ointment’s purifying and soothing power. Together these medicines act like a charm ; no invalid, after a fair trial, has found them fail to relieve his pain, or completely cure his disease. The combined beneficial action of the Ointment and Pills, in all disorders, is too irresistible to be withstood.
