Dear Sir,—The cutting I forward you from our local paper will surely convince 111 yo! k>cality of the merits of the Wiltshire" Cycles. The lltsfiire 1 was riding at the time of the accident was one I had from you three years ago, and it stood the shock so well that I feel obliged to write and tell you about it. The motor car was wrecked, but the only damage done to the bike was a smashed lamp, broken bell, dented rim, and front fork slightly knocked back. I think it my duty to let everyone know what I think of vour Cycle, as it has stood the terrible humpty-dumpty roads of America marvellously I have worn out two pairs of Dunlop tyres, and yet all the bearings and wearing parts are as good as new.

A GREAT TRIBUTE TO MANNSNA FROSTS AUSTRALIA. Dear Sir, It is some time since I sent to you for any Ointment, but I am pleased to say that I myself do not require any, My legs have been healed up for some months. 3 had very bad ankles for five years, and most dreadful pains in them. r eoulrl get very little sleep day and night, and tried almost everything 1 could get for them; it cost me a good few pounds, and I never got a bit of ease until I used your Ointment. When I first got a pot of it I was afraid to put it on the sores and for several days I would not use it, and the sores were dreadful, the pain was in- tense, and I was in agony, so I thought I would put it on that I could not suffer more than I was suffering, and it. eased the pain at once. So I continued using it for some months before they were healed, but how thankful I was even to get rest and sleep. I had no more pain in them after I used your Ointment; it cost me a good deal, but not half so much as I had spent on them before. I am sure there are hundreds with bad legs would use it if they only kneA\ about it. It. is a great shame you have not got some Agent in Melbourne. By this mail I am sending tl 10s. for Ointment, and please send me two bills, one lady wants £ 1 and another person 10s. worth, the small pots. And oblige, yours, &c. Nov. 18, 1905.
