L./IMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold,, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Channg-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 141., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lamberts Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SIX
PER C ENT. BONDS PAYABLE IN LONDON.
The Bank of South Australia, 54, Old Broad-street,
E.C., is authorised by the undersigned to receive TEN-
DERS for BONDS of the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN
GOVERNMENT, to the amount of £400,000.
The Bonds, having from 2G to 35 years to run (1891 to
1903), are of the following denominational values:-
50 Bonds for £l,OOO each £50,000
800 17 500 ~
2,-000 u 100 ~

£400,000

And are issued under the authority of Act No. 28, of
19th December, 1867, of tho South Australian Parliament,
entitled "An Act to authorise the raising of Money f.,r
Railway purposes." A copy of the Act may be inspected
at the office of the undersigned,
Both principal and interest are made payable in London
at the dates specified in each Bond,
the interest by Coupon
on the Ist July and Ist January of each year.
The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, from the Ist July, 1868.
The above quoted act authorises the issue of £311,000.
Thepresent issue is the tirstportion thereof,the remaining
half will not be issued till some time next year. Clause 5
of the Act duly provides for the payment of the interest,
and the redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall
due.
The B •nded Debt of South Australia, including the
£400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,568,000, and is
secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was
as follows, according to the latest Government official
statistics in the Agent General's possession: —1862,
£548,709 ' • 1863, £4.31,700 ; 1864, £775,837 ; 1865,
£1,089,128 ; 1866, £949,774. The high estimation in
which the South Australian Government Bonds have al-
ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo-
tations in the market. The existing Bonded Debtis an-
nually reduced by redemption of Bonds falling due to tll3
extent of about £40,000 each year.
Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed
orm, will b-a received by the Bank of South Australia for
he whole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less
han £loo—until noon on Tuesisy, the 13th October, and
ho allotment will take place at that hour in the presence
of such of the applicants as may desire to be present.
The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro-
vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which
will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed
envelope on the table b, fore the Tenders aro opened, but
the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent
General declares that the whole amount has not been ten-
dered at or above his minimum.
Tenders at. a price including a fraction of a shilling other
than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in
the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of
these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will
be made. In the same way the Bonds falling due at the
different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as
near as possible, amongst the successful tenderers.
Ten per Cent. on the nominal value of these Bonds must
be paid to the Bank of South Australia as soon as the al-
lotment is made, and the balance not later than Tuesday,
the 10th November, when the Bonds will be delivered.
Tenclerers to whom allotment may be made can have their
Bonds earlier, if they desire it, by paying the balance less
the discount at the then rate of the Bank of England.
Forms of Tender may be obtained at the Office of the
Bank of South Australia, or of the undersigned.
