THE COMMERCIAL BANK.

London, April 11. Mr A. J. Malcolm (of Mcßwan and Co.) presiding at the meeting of share holders of the Commercial Bank re ferred to the strength of the bank's profitable business, especially in the country branches. The fact of Mr Service joining the sew concern was a great element of strength, ,as he was far too shrowed a mm to lend his name to a doubtful institution. Mr Malcolm said that as a large share holder he welcomed the reconstruction scheme, which presented manifest ad vantages. He implored the meeting to concur with the proposal and give the keynote to the meetings of depositors in London and Edinburgh. The stoppage was the result of malignant attacks, which no joint stock bank would have withstood «o long as the Commercial. Two hundred shareholders were present and there were no dissentient remarks, though Mr Malcolm spoke for twenty minutes. At a meeting of depositors, where five hundred were present, Mr Malcolm made a similar .speech. About £750,000 was represented. Mr Malcolm im plored them to avoid liquidation and discourage the wreckers of the Colony. Both meetings unanimously adopted the reconstruction scheme. The " Scotsman " considers the pro posals the best that could be adopted, and "The Times" thinks a wise course has been taken.

A motion reduqtng the estimates by an additional £182,000 will be adopted. Of this saving £75,000 will be cut of educa tion, £25,000 off mines and agriculture, and £20,000 off the Treasury Depart ment. Compared with the previous year the estimates will show a reduc tion of £450,000.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market now, produces of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may nofc be taken • r Our Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised joy the medical division of the- Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aod freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and tc Drs Bauer, (Vlclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils • are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible : 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. ' 3. ' By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannatep. If these crude oils, cr so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. Vor safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and g«3fc the old, well-tested and reliable preparation —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.— slander and Sons
