The Wyndham Fmmer relates that the docs of the late Me Mitchell stayed on the bank of the Wyndham Kiver, in close proximity to where the body was found, during tha twenty-four hours it lay in the water! Evidently the faithful animuls had seen their master disappear. They have even kept faithful vigil since, and cannot be persuaded to go away. La»b week a child fell into a creek in the Marlborough district and was drowned His mother saw him fall into the water, and rushed to save him. Notwithstanding her efforts, however, a moment or two elapsed before she could effect a rescue, owing to the child becoming washed in under a log. Prompt means were taken to restore anima tien. but unfortunately without avail.

Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude I of distressing functional deraugsments and [ diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts, No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public in a popular form.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pangent odour-



Biliousness, Bilious Headache, D'zzinese, Costivenesa, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pdins and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition*



which our product, the only genuine \ Muoalypli Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in epeoifio density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con eaueuces are most appalling.

NOTE THIS WEJLJL.



The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thua giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover ishment of the whole being. Such a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while fchey are really only in need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power wifch incalculable good. Alaxum j is the only medicine which combines these i two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing | away all effete matter and exciting them to j activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new Me from the proper assimila tioa of the food; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good.' It may be better~-for the sWer—becauae of its better : profit, bub in such an instance the'dealer is [ not the one who needs help.
