IVT R. /^1 R O S S E, SURGEON DENTIbT, has commenced practising at Wanganui, and maj be consulted at his residence m fiidgway Street (corner cf St Hill Street.) Artificial teeth constructed on an entire new principal, as approved of m England and America ; extraction sf stnmps not necessary. Satisfaction guaranteed m every. case. Decayed and aching teetth made perfectly sound with gold or metallic stopping. Children's teeth regulated. Painless extractions — with Anassthetic Either, TO THE PUBLIC OF MANAWATU. « Facts are stubborn things, while words are cheap, m fact cost nothing. We might follow the silly example indulged m by some journalists (?) and make a series of announcements that one week we had a circulation of 1000, the next 1200 ; the third, 1500 ; and so on, but would the public believe us. We think not. The Makawattt Times is now five years established, and for nearly three years was the only paper published m the County, and although we admit — for it would be nonsense to deny it — the advent of other journals at Foxton and Feilding ha 9 prevented the large increase m its circulation which the progress of the County would have given it, still its circulation at the present time is larger than before either of those papers came into exiatenoe ; and it has a pretty large number of regular subscribers not oniyin those towns, but m Sandon Carnarvon, and on all other outlying loads m the County. As we before stated, we do not intend to make silly boasts for people to laugh at, but we say First, That THE Times has a guaranteed number of regular subscribers one hundred and fifty to two hundred m excess of any paper published m Palmer* ston. Second, That its circulation m Palmerston alone is one hundred m excess of any paper published m Palmerston. Third, That beside its larger circulation within the Borough, we give a distinct pledge to prove by our books, that we bave yearly subscribers all along the Foxton Stoney Creek, and Rangitikei Koads ; the towns of Foxton, Feilding, Sandon, Bulls, Marlon, and Wanganui. Fourth, We are prepared to take the numbers printed each issue for the past month, making a statutory declaration as to their correctness, if any other journal will do the same, and prove that we have a hundred, and fifty of a majority m circulation. That is the way to let the public know which paper has a genuine, and which a brummagem circulation. If this challenge is accepted well and good ; if not let us then hear no more boasting whioh is as useless as it is ridiculous. We claim to have a genuine circulation — from year's end to year's end — distributed all over the County, and we are prepared to substantiate the assertions made above by allowing an inspection of our subscribers' books ; we dare the paper which asserts that it has a circulation of four hundred and fifty to do the same, and if it can show subscribers to within nny thing like a hundred and fifty of that number, then we will give £o to the Palmerston Hospital.
