Hia widow married a lurk, who brought up young George &* a Moslem, and put him into the nlave-dt><iling busiat-as. Osman George was very much annoyed when the British came upon the soena and spoilt his trade. To the sleepless animosity of the injured Moslem he adds the unquenchable vitality of the Scotsman.

lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, aa per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics aud Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract In the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oik may not be taken, OUR PURJfi VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTEACI', 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 tate :— It B'proved by tests by the Medical Clinics the Universities at Bonn and Greifswaid, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswaid, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, ■ resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned !oh? since aa an internal c dicament. These crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the oniy genuine Buealypti Extracb develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific denaity through the presence of acids. 3 By theirtaste, 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 inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.

Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Coativeness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. NOTE THIS WJELJL,— 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, thus 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 they are really only in need of a remedy to sco 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 with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is & 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 activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food; and where there ia no organic disease health must follow. This is common seose and cannot be gainsaid.

Stud Notices. THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Ashburton Forks Districts. Will beat Newman's Sbables every SATURDAY.



KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterna, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rie, from Scotland, by Argyle {2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by 1 Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood, She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.8.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported j 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding neods nocornment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is bo favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand, (608, N Z.b.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has s&amped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horae. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. • 113, S. H.)



King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin, It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
