One of the oldest and best known business men in Melbourne, Mr. Thomas Stubbs, died recently at St. ' Hilda. Mr. Stubbs, whose career as an auctioneer dated almost from the foundation of the citj, was (saya the Aicstralasuin) a celebrity in his day, and his name will not easily be forgotten. In business circles lie, was much esteemed for his kindly aud genial disposition. He died at the ripe age of 75. Coming events cast their shadows before them—those who remain too long hesitating get overtaken by the ev«nt as well as the shadow. How many a valuable life would have been saved, if the premonitory symptoms of coming disease had been regarded? “Ghollah’s Great Indian* Corks," if taken in time, are the most certain preventatives of serious disease ever yet discovered. They are infallible remedies, and sold by all Chemists.
