The Foxton Cycle and Motor Company, “ going smash.” —Mr Simmons wishes to state that although he has been unable to attend to the new business, the suggestion that he is “ going,” or has ‘‘gone smash,” is, as yet, quite erroneous. He, furthermore, states that he is now convalescent in the Palmerston Hospital, and is looking forward to an early return, when he hopes the cycling public will take advantage of the revolution in prices which will be quoted for this season. Not only is a consignment of specially manufactured tyres arriving shortly which will be found a boon to country cyclists, but also arrangements have been completed for the prompt handling of the Red Bird, Massey Harris and Russell agencies.—Advt.

A good liniment, and one that can always be relied upon, is nowhere more appreciated than in the country. Scarcely a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is more widely known than any liniments for cuts, burns and sprains, and it not only gives relief but heals the wound in about one third the time required by any other treatment. The great power Chamberlain’s Pain Balm has over pain is shown in the relief it affords in cases of acute and inflammatory rheumatism. Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is also an antiseptic. For sale everywhere. —Advt.
