Well-dressed Men—Among those habitual errors of conduct which are common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the" advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons, among whom the favour of some may be' valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat now and then, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before' pubiic : notice, R. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good fit, and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs-first-class cutters and workmen; he avoidsobsolete fashions; and he is content with; moderate profits in the place of t ne exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, tics,and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the tradcsH'iat'Vfi' 1 6lft I ?Sii'ers } uiajAft&Wfe iFL°EuSstantial advantages of being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the l number of those who deal with him. Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee oE fashion, 11. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—R. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle. —advt, Holloway's Pills. —The chiofest wonder" of modern times —This incomparable medicine increases the appetite, strengthens the stomach, cleanses the liver, corrects biliousness, prevents flatulency, purifies the system, invigorates the nerves, and restores the invalid to sound health. The enormous demand for these Pills throughout the globe would astonish everybody,were it not that a single trial convinces the most sceptical that no medicine equals Holloway’s Pills in its ability to remove all complaints incidental to the human race. They are a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to all who labor under internal or external disease. The purification of the blood, removal of all restraints from the secretive organs, and their gentle aperient action, are the prolific sources of the wide curative range of Holloway’s Pills.
