RICHARD J. SEDDON, ChairmaD. Hokitika, 7th January, 1885. MONARCH OF CRATED BEVERAGES. H O E D O N E. A Delicious Sparkling, Tonic Beverage. Z 0 E D 0 N E. From the British Medical Journal, August 30th, 1879. "Among the various medicinal and other exhibits at the recent meeting of the British Medical Association at Cork there was one which, to our own judgment, bore away the palm. We refer to the aerated and phosphorated iron beverage which Messrs Evans and Co., of Wrexham, manufacture for Mr David Johnson, F.C.S., the patentee. " We had ample opportunity of testing ifs refreshing and invigorating qualities during our sojourn in the fair city of the extreme south-west; and we can confidently recommend it to the attention of physicians and others who are occasionally at a loss what to direct their patients to take when parched by feverish thirst, or depressed by exhausting ailments—notably in cases where alcoholic stimulant-3 would be prejudicial. We feel that it would be found exceedingly useful in mitigating the discomfort ofttimes experienced by those suffering from the thirst, loss of appetiie, and general 'malaise' connected with the last stage of phthisis and chronic bronchitis.

"We also, from our observations and experience, advise its introduction into clubs, taverns, and places of public amusement, where it would judiciously supersede vinous and alcoholic stimu lants, seeing that it contains, as its name implies, life-giving ingredients in a form easily assimilated." Z 0 E D 0 N E. From the Medical Press and Circular, August 27th, 1879. "This preparation containing the phosphates of lime, &c, in perfect solu tion, is conimeudable equally for the style in which io is put and the delicate flavour which it possesses, and also on account of its special merits as a nervine tonic. Having ourselves tried it, we can honestly join in the praise bestowed by Dr Norman Kerr and Dr Carpenter." ZOEDONE, From the Lancet, October sth, 1878. " Zoedone contains the soluble phosphates of lime, iron, soda, and potash, in medicinal quantities. Zoedone is a very efficient and pleasant vehicle for the administration of the but little soluble phosphate of iron." Wholesale Agents for New Zealand : KBMPTHORNE, PROSSER, & CO., Dunetfin,
