"=JOHN BULL'S WOMANKIND="

who buy Cod Liver Oil should always have Peter Möller's.

=Peter Möller= is the Inventor of the Process used, and Manufacturer of =Cod Liver Oil= _only_. His attention is given solely to the preparation of this invaluable medicinal food in its highest state of perfection, and the measure of his success is shewn by the award of NINETEEN FIRST PRIZES at FIFTEEN EXHIBITIONS. PETER MÖLLER was THE ONLY MANUFACTURER to whom TWO GOLD MEDALS were awarded at the International Fisheries Exhibition for =Cod Liver Oil=.

It is sold in _Capsuled_ Bottles _only_ by Chemists, Grocers, &c.

Newest Invention! Greatest Novelty!

THE =Y & N= PATENT DIAGONAL SEAM =CORSET=.

_Patented in England and on the Continent. Will not split in the Seams nor tear in the Fabric. Exquisite Model. Perfect Comfort. Guaranteed Wear._

MADAME MARIE ROZE writes:--"I have very much pleasure in stating that the two pairs of Corsets you have made for me are a great success. They fit perfectly, and are far superior in every way to all the English and French Corsets I have tried."--Yours truly, MARIE ROZE MAPLESON.

_LE FOLLET_ says:--"A novel invention in Corsets admirably calculated to prevent the very disagreeable occurrence of split seams. The cut is very good and becoming, and may be adapted to any figure with advantage."

_THE QUEEN_ says:--"These Corsets are a new departure. The material is cut on the cross, and the component parts being also arranged diagonally, the seams have no strain. They are admirably modelled, exquisitely neat and strong, and the workmanship all that could be desired."

Beware of worthless imitations.

Every genuine Y & N Corset is stamped "Y & N Patent Diagonal Seam Corset, No. 116" in oval.

Gold Medal, New Zealand Exhibition, 1882; GOLD MEDAL, HIGHEST AWARD FOR CORSETS, LONDON INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1884.

Sold by all Drapers and Ladies' Outfitters.

Corner's Patent

=Cinturon de Cuero= =CORSET.=

LADIES who appreciate a GOOD FITTING CORSET, that will bear any strain without stretching in the waist, or becoming unshapely through wear, will find that the "CINTURON DE CUERO," or LEATHER WAIST CORSET, has been admirably designed to meet both these requirements.

The LEATHER is used in such a way that it forms a BAND OR BELT, and, while rendering the waist perfectly unstretchable, imparts a charming sense of comfort to the wearer; the original size and shape of the Corset being thus always retained, gives an elegant appearance to the figure, and considerably increases the durability.

BLACK AND ALL COLOURS, 5s. 6d. to 15s. 6d.

_MORSONS'_ _PREPARATIONS OF_ =PEPSINE=

Highly recommended by the Medical Profession

=FOR INDIGESTION.=

As Wine in Bottles at 3s., 5s. & 9s.; Lozenges, 2s. 6d. and 4s. 6d.; Globules, 2s., 3s. 6d., and 6s. 6d.; and Powder as "Medicinal Pepsine," at 2s. 6d. and 4s., and "Porci," a more concentrated preparation than the Medicinal, at 4s. 6d. each. Sold by all Chemists.

The popularity =Pepsine= has acquired as almost a specific for =Chronic Dyspepsia=, =Indigestion=, =&c.=, is due to the fact that it is the nearest possible production of the active principle of the gastric juice of the stomach. Unfortunately, like all other inventions of a like nature, =Pepsine= has been not slightly discredited by the spurious Manufactures that have been issued from time to time; it is therefore necessary as a guarantee of its efficacy to see that each bottle bears the Makers' name.

THE MOST EFFICACIOUS TONIC.

=FER BRAVAIS=

TASTELESS, AND NEITHER STAINS NOR INJURES THE TEETH.

DOES NOT CONSTIPATE or DISTURB THE DIGESTION.

_London Medical Record_, March 15, 1877, says:--"'Bravais' Iron' is tasteless, free from styptic character, and appears in the most simple state of combination, that is to say, merely united with oxygen and water, without the presence of acids. It is a most energetic preparation. It is the beau ideal of a ferruginous tonic. We regard it as a therapeutic of great value."

Invaluable in all cases of general weakness or debility, and is taken with the greatest facility on a small piece of sugar or bread, or in a glass of wine before meals.

Sold by all the PRINCIPAL CHEMISTS and DRUGGISTS, in Bottles in portable Card Cases, with Drop Measure complete, =3s.= and =4/6= each.

Allen & Hanburys' "Perfécted" =COD-LIVER OIL=

Who are the Really Great and <== ==> Successful Men in this World?

Huxley wisely says:--"Those who take honours in nature's university, who learn the laws which govern men and things and obey them, are the really great and successful men in this world.... Those who won't learn at all are plucked; and then you can't come up again. Nature's pluck means extermination." The simple meaning is, when ailing, pay no attention to the regulation of your diet, exercise, or occupation; attempt no conformity to the laws of life, or when you have drawn an over-draft on the bank of life, &c., avoid the use of ENO'S FRUIT SALT and you will be surprised to learn of the body what

A Frail and Fickle Tenement it is, which, like the Brittle Glass that Measures Time, is often Broke, ere half its Sands are Run.

THE FESTIVE SEASON.--Experience shows that porter, mild ales, port wine, dark sherries, sweet champagne, liqueurs, and brandies, are all very apt to disagree, while light white wines and gin or whisky, largely diluted with soda-water, will be found the least objectionable.

ENO'S FRUIT SALT is particularly adapted for any constitutional weakness of the liver. It possesses the power of reparation when digestion has been disturbed or lost, and places the invalid in the right track to health. A world of woe is avoided by those who keep and use Eno's Fruit Salt; therefore no family should ever be without it.

USE ENO'S FRUIT SALT.--Or as a health-giving, refreshing, cooling, invigorating beverage, or as a gentle laxative and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, USE ENO'S FRUIT SALT.

ALSO GOUTY OR RHEUMATIC POISONS from the blood, the neglect of which often results in apoplexy, heart disease, and sudden death.

USE ENO'S FRUIT SALT, prepared from sound, ripe fruit. What every travelling trunk and household in the world ought to contain--a bottle of ENO'S FRUIT SALT. Without such a simple precaution, the jeopardy of life is immensely increased.
