Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christehurch, N.Z.,Dec. 30, 1893 BEPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W, H. Rule, Ashburton :—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed stoneware, tha latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with great facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. Eecent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter icae!f is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and is very neatly got up- A. W. BLOKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst. D. HACPHJERSOW Lateß. Alcorns,) f^ ROGER AND TEA DIALER.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile £nca> lyptl 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 5— It is proved by tests made by the Medicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and G-reifswal', Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Grelfswald, 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 fessor 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 therapeutio value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT Allother crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutio effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nctiah 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 ©nly genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy -pi ). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced ia specific density through the preses#3 of acids: 3c By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, no called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in oaaes of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the thecnnsequeucesre most appalling. .For safety alway ask always for Sander and Son*'JSncalvpti Extract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australii - 4and«rand Son WANTED Known—That A.
