If SYKES' DRENCH were not backed by real merit it would have been dead long ago. Do you want to know why it sells ? WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING. A farmer uys it., perhaps . through chance, maybe a friend recommends it to him. However, he gives it a trial. A valuable cow's life is saved ; next time several of his pigs are sick ; e ..-tries it again ; and so it goes on ntil after two or three more trials he finds it can be depended upon. When his neighbours- cows are sick he says : "Why don't you use SYKES' Drench? Best thing I ev e r struck. Get a packet, old chap, and Ist use it according totho directions, and it will do the rest." This friend tries it with similar results and recommends it to another, nd so it grows constantly because faithfully does its work. Each Packet of SYKES' DRENCH contains two drenches. Price Is 6d.— Advt. GOUT GOES GLADLY. Rheumo and gout can't be in the Bystam together. When Rheumo goes hi the gout goes out. Mr- F. D. Pclling, of Eketahuna, has proved this. Writing on Ist July he says : —"Kindly send me another bottle of your Rheumo mixture, as I have had no trouble with gout since I have kept it in the house. It gives me immediate relief by taking one dose. lean with confidence recommend Rheumo for either gout or rheumatics." Just one more proof of that Rheumo coniquers chronic rheumatism.

The Western Medical Review, a medical publication of the highest* standing, says, in a recent issue : - 'Thousands of physicians in this and, other countries have attested that Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Kxi tract Is not only reliable, but that it has a pronounced and indisputable superiority over all other preparations of Eucalyptus." Yout- health is too precious to be tampered with, therefore reject all products foisted upon you by unscrupulous mercenaries, And insist upon getting SanIjr and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, the only preparation recommended by, your physician and the medical press. In coughs, cplds, fevers, diaw rhoea, kidney diseases, the relief is instantaneous. Wounds, ulcers, burns, sprains, etc., it heals without inflammation. As mouthwash (8 drops to a glass of water) it pre) vents decay of teeth, and destroys all disease germs.* NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A. W. Martin.—lmportant medical notice on fourth page.
