"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet ' thai a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every teudency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified wi b pure blood and a properly nourished frame." — See article iv the Civil Service Gazette.

' (TE KAHURANQI) TTIINDINGf there is a strong feeling to J. reiain the services of Somnus in this District, and wishing to use him ourselves in a greater extent than before, the Ptoprietors have arranged to snod the son of •'The Painter" to Howke's Bay. where he | will serve at a fee of Saven Guineas for j Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas tor Crossbreds. The Celebrated ThnroughbredJChampion Pi ize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, F< xton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter and a ( host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt, in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the. value of this first class sire) will therefore Sand at tbe Proprietors' stud ■tallies, Feikling, this season, commencing Monday, tbe 2od September. We have stuck to S. muus, because ou his size, breeding, pei formanoea, aud beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubt whatever now, that lik e his illustrious aire " Traducer," and the great " Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by bo few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to hi* pro* geny, that we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the tempting overtures' that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America, where bis old stable companion and near relation, " Sir Modred," has attained such a high repu ration asa / S.ire, and from -other parts of the world where the fame of Somnus has reached. We did intend to charge a fee of Ten Guineas all .round thin season, but from re-> presentations made by soraa of our friends that they were unable to pay to much for j Hack mares, we have decided to reduce I the fee on tbe following aoWe, viz.:— j Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. ■ Class C, Seven Guineas. j A limited number of good Hack mares, ' Five Pounds ten shillings. j Paddocking (if required) 2s per week. \ Choice mares can be fed as per agreement, j Guarantees as per agreement.
