Crearo, ohemist, of Auckland, is making a short stay in Gisborne, in the interests of several of his well-known lines, the most ' prominent, amongst which are Cinderella Ballroom, floor polish, and Certoff toothache powders ; the last-men-tioned lino is a complete revolution in the way of toothaoho oureH, being taken internally and thereby making a permanent cure, and we are sure once the remedy gets* the recognition it merits all looal applications will be a thing of the past. All who have used Certos apeak very highly in its favor, for the groat feature is that there is no burning of the gums-and surrounding tissue as is the case when liquid is applied to the tooth. We recommend all who are sufferers of this distressing complaint to invest one shilling at any of the chemists and stores in and around Gisborne and prove it for themselves.
