His Security.

A distinguished sob of Trinity College was the Rev Dr Samuel Haughtou. a versatile, gifted man, with charming manners, and a most persuasive, witty tongue, he was always sought after tor meetings of all sorts He was connected with the Zoological Society of Ireland. Once, when the funds were low, "the all-knowing Sam" went to the Bound of the Bank of Ireland to negotiate a loan. This in the story in his own words:—Wei', I 8&w the great people—they received me very politely, but on the strictest commer cial lines, and demanded security. What had Ito offer ? For a momeufc I was posed, but audacity prevailed. ''Gentlemen," I said, "I have nothing tangible to offer but j the animals, and as a sample I've brought a fine Bengal tiger, which is outbids in my cab. I'll show him to you, and, if neces sary, leave him as a deposit." I moved towards the door to get him ; they stopped me, and advanced three hundred pounds on the spot.

OAMJBEfI & Son* ffiucmijitti Extract There are imitations of Eucalyptf Extract in the ' murkest now, products of simple distillation forming '■ rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not ba taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTRACT, wblch is r cognised by tlie medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we ; ttate:— j Is proved by tests by the Medical Climes of the , Universitioa at Bonn and Grelfswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated will oxygen and freed of acids, resino. s and «>ther substances, adnerent to primary distillation, will dtvelope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and accoriing to Pro tmov Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer Mclntire, Woo!, Hazard, etc., of America, is tha only extract corresponding to scientific te-t, and the only one wh'ch possesses the proper therapeutic value. Sander & Son's Eucalypti Kxtract. Alt 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 medioameut, These so-called Eucalypti _ Extracts which may have received distinction at .Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes Are only discernible. By their deficiency in fungent odour—which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develope3 most ireely through its surplus of oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the restilt of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchiti, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety, always ask for SANDEB & SOJS'3 EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well-testod, and reliable preparation. —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER ANiJ SONS.
