We clip the following important testimo nial from the " lUawarra Mercury" (N.S W). ' of the 30th March. It needs no comment - Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons Eucalyptic Extract. He says:—" Seeing the said Extract advertised in the 'lUawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between 10th March inst,, when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to ' which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract i cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the 'Mercury.' We have much pleasure in complying with Mr Loveday s request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who am have no abjectin view other than a pure desire to benefat suffering hu anitv. "—(Advt.) Hoixoway's Ointment and Pima-A frequent came of gout and rheumatism is the , inflammatory state of the blood, ■.ended with bad digestion and general debnitj. A few doses of the pills taken in time are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism. Anyone who has an attack of either should use Holloway's Ointment also, the powerful action of which combined with the operation of the p Us, must infallibly effect a cure.;- The pills act directly on the blood, which they purify and improve. Having once subdued the seventy of these diseases, perseverance with the ointment, after fomenting the affected joints with warm brine, will speedily relax all stiffness ft,u<l prevent any permauent contraction.

Many of their reports have been printed for the instruction of the Royal Commissioners, but have not yet been published. When they do appear they will show that the earnings of the men are much greater than they are commonly supposed to be, and they will contain a great deal of information with respect to the condition of cottages', sanitary j arrangements, supply and rents of allot- 1 ments, the condition of occupiers of small holdings, the hours of labor, the extent of | migration, and many other details. j Messrs Colemane and Sons' Eucalypti Extract (manufactured at Mittagong and Cootamundra, New South Wales) has ! attained a reputation as a specific for affec tions of the chest, lungs, consumptions asthma, diphtheria, and a variety of other complaints.
