(Received January 17, 11A0 a.m.) Melbourne, January 17. The reconstruction scheme o£ the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agmcy Company provides for a new company under the same title, with a capital" of £3,900,000 in 320,000 ordinary shares of £10 each, and '300,000 five per cent preference shares of £3 10s each. The liability of £22 10s per share on shares in the old Company is to be immediately called up, but holders are relieved of this liability on taking, for each old share, t*o ordinary shares and one preference share in the new Company, paying £1 for ordinary and £3 10s for preference shares, by instalments extending over fifteen months for ordinary, and two years for preference shares. Three new issues of debenture stock have been created —viz., prior lien, and "A" and " B.

Charge Against a Stationmaster.

At the Timaru District Court on Tues day before a jury of four T. McGrandel sued J. Jones, for £112 5s 4d ; £100 general damages, £12 5s 4d, general damages. Plaintiff alleged that defend ant, stationmaster at Timaru, on March 25 last, attempted to give him into custody on a false charge of being drunk in a rail way carriage, that he assaulted him, and prevented him from travelling by the train. Mr Kinnerney for plaintiff; Mr White for defendant. Mr Kinnerney stated the facts from the plaintiff's point of view. Claim was made for £100 damages, and £12 5s 4d special damages, these being made up of injury to sheepskins for lack of proper attention, £4 3s 4d ; four men and two horses idle two days, £6* 12s ; extra total expenses, £110 a, (These special claims wore after wards dropped.) Mr Kirmerney s.iid the case had been aggravated by defendant taking no notice of letters asking for an apology. Plaintiff did not wish to go into litigation, but as defendant took no notice of letter?, there was no other course open to plaintiti to clear his character. Mr White stated defendant's case, summing it up by saying thats the man went to the station so drunk that he did not know where he was, what he was doing, or where he was going. About three columns of evidence were given and the case was adjourned until to-day, when judgment was given for defendant with costs accordingly.

fitAIVIMEIKdE Sons Eucalypti Extract There are Imitations of Eucalypti Extract in th market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile JEnca gypti Extract, which is recognised by 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 Medicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal f, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Olinio at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant, according to these authorities, and according to Pro lessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract correspondingly scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDBR & SON'S EUCALYPTI BXTBACT All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, 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 pur poses only are discernible :— 1, By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the enly genuine Eucalypti Bxtrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy ti ). 3 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids: 8, By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tonnates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in oases of croap, b -onchitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the thecuisequeucesre most appalling.

Dr Jmkart, whose fame in curing diseases of the nervous system and chronic and com plicated female complaints has gone abroad in the colony, has created a very favorable | impression during her stay in Sfc Arnaud by her skilful treatment of several intricate cases." (t From the " Marlborough Advertiser." We note the arrival of Dr Frikart, an eminent lady specialist, who has been very successful in her treatment of patients in the various parts of the colony which she has already visited. She is a lady of exceptional ability, and her treatment embraces the latest discoveries in the science of therapeutics. The Doctor brings to this country several diplomas, and her presence in our district will no doubt prove a boon to the numerous sufferers from nervous, chronic and special complaints." From the "Standard." Dr Imkarts marvellous cures have created a profound sensation." „.-... . From the "Charlton Independent." A Distinguished Visitor.—Charlton is at present honored by the presence of Mrs irikart, M.D., who has obtained the highest possible honours in her profession, and estab lished a great reputation in the colony by her phenomenal success in the treatment of nervous, chronic and complicated complaints. The examinations this talented lady has passed are almost too numerous to mention, for apart from being a Doctor of Medicine and a Licentiate of King and Queen's College of Physicians and Licentiate of Midwifery, she is also Praktische Arzt. of Switzerland, and passed what is considered about the hardest task in the medical world—the Staats Examen. The Doctor is no mean linguist, as she may be consulted in German, French and Spanish, as well as English. Having held hospital appointments, her experience has not only been wide, but practical," ({ From the " Hamilton Spectator." v S l r^arfc» wno recently arrived from England, has a splendid reputation, and is the only legally qualified lady doctor advertising in Australia." «^vr -n -i • From the "Warrnambool Standard." Mrs Dr Frikart, the well-known lady M.D., has been very successful in her treatment of a number of local cases. From the "Echo." i °j have much Pleaßure in referring to Dr Frikart, the first lady fully qualified in England and Ireland, as well as in Victoria, who has ever visited Australia. It is certainly a fortunate thing for the sick and ailing, and those afflicted with uncomfortable diseases which baffle the skill of the ordinary practitioner, that the lady specialist has arrived." From the " Maryborough Standard." "Dr Frikart was yesterday visited by a number of Patients, all of whom speak highly of her skill and ability in diagnosing their complaints." From the " Chronicle' 5 ' Dr Frikart's reputation as a clever and successful practitioner is thoroughly estab lished throughout the Colony." From the "Mail."
