As three pieces of the pipes have been recovered twisted and bent and cut ( apparently with a chisel) into lengths of 3 or 4 in., it is supposed that all the apparatus has been similarly broken up, but even in this disfigured condition the bits should be readily recognised as having formed part of such an apparatus. As thefts of platinum have generally been sooner or later detected, the look- out should be continued for many months. Platinum is a rare metal, in the pos- session of very few persons, so that should any be offered for sale it should at once excite suspicion. Platinum cannot be melted or manufactured under any ordinary circumstances, and to be utilised finds its way in special smelters' hands. It is requested that inquiry be made amongst pawn- brokers, jewellers, dealers in old metal, brokers, elec- trical engineers, makers of chemical and electric apparatus, metal smelters, dentists, and all persons using platinum. The above reward will be paid by Messrs. Alexander Cross and Sons, 19, Hope- street, Glasgow, for the apprehension and conviction of the thief or thieves, and recovery of the property, or in proportion to the amount recovered.

His modus operandi is to call upon yacht and boat builders, representing that he is captain of a yacht belonging to some person of title, and at the same time giving the name of the yacht and ordering boats to be built, subsequently calling again and presenting a fictitious draft or cheque, which exceeds the amount to be deposited, and asks for the balance to settle some other account. By this means he obtains large sums of money. He is a most clever and dangerous swindler, and it it requested that Provincial Police may caution yacht and boat builders, ship supply store agents, < fcc., BO that in the event of his calling he may be detained and police informed.

A large legacy has been left by the Saviour to us— the greater part remains unclaimed ; it has not been ", for ; though repeated notices have been published throughout the world, heirs will not come forward. Jhrough the long suffering and forbearance of God, it may still be obtained. See ! one comes to the door of the Bank of Heaven— where dividends are paid. He knocks. " Who is there?" cries Justice. " A sinner." " What do you want 1" " My Lord, I have seen in the Gospel Herald, edited in Heaven, published in Jeru- salem, that a legacy is left me by my kinsman, and it has not yet been paid." " Not paid 1 We always pay on demand." " Yes, my Lord, I ought to have applied sooner, but I did not. The Herald is still in circula- tion, and if my Lord will look at the will, He will see, ' Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' ' Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins. Peace I give unto you. This is what I wish to receive." " Mercy," says Justice, " what dost thou say to this demand { of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin." And now a crowd of persons come running to the Bank. They tell us there ai e large bundles of promissory notes, we go to get them cashed." " Take care, est you make a run upon the Bank." « But it will not break ; till banking hours are over and the Bank is closed, we may come. Another knock, from one dying, come for the last instalment of his property, " In my fathers House are many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you." " I will come and receive you unto Myself. An allegory, that might continue with endless illustrations. Friends, you understand it; claim your legacies. Relieve that our kinsman is able, willing to fulfil all His promises, and let us together shout, lhanks be unto Uod lor His unspeakable gift."

J^ OTESCO. jyOTESCO, J^ OTESCO jyOTESCO Many people say, " How is it you claim that your medicines cure so many diseases." We answer :— In ancient times, when heathenism was rampant, people believed in a god for all good, and a god for all evil; a god for joy, and a god for sorrow ; a god to giro sickness, and a god to heal sickness. Jupiter ruled the land and Neptune ruled the sea. Ceres gave cs agriculture, Venus gave us love, and Hebe youth. Now we have grown wiser ; we believe in one God only— whose word was power- ful enough to create EVERYTHING. IS it not possible for that same God to send us one remedy by which we shall cure most things 1 There are a great many locks, and to each lock is a key, but it is not every- one who can turn the key. Our '' Notesco " is the key to open the doors. Applied externally, it works through the skin and reaches the disease. Taken internally a few times, the doors are opened, the disease escapes like a convict out of gaol, with the intention of never returning. Sickness is just like a burglar— it will steal in, either through a cold, dampness of the houses, adulterated food, or from the impure, foul air of crowded tenements, or sewer gas, from which we have to suffer, in this and other cities. The thief is inside ; you can't get him out because the key don't fit. We now give you the true key. Our medicine is an enemy to corruption and pain. Any corruption it eats away, any pain it relieves at once. Try it. Be warned in time ; keep a stock of " Notesco " in the house. We claim our " Notesco " is superior to any medicine ever presented to the public, and we claim it with justice. NOTESCO. jyOTESCO.- NO MORE CONGESTION of the LUNGS. J^ OTESCO.- NO MORE BRONCHITIS.
