A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Aiavnm NEVER fails any one in _~VlclAU.lll 6m . n a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend in need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature | by Alaxwm, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy A_axum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many j persons afflicted with constipation have testi tied not only to its immediate relieving j properties but to the fact that the oure lasts. ; No care is required whi'e 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. ALAXUM otrbs" Biliousness, Bilious Headache, D'zzuness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and ail functional derangements of the of nutrition.! JVOTJB THIS WBLL.,- The whole system of a human being may be ■perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the botty may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want oi appetite, and a consequent general impover ishment of'the whole being. Such a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy I that they are consumptive, while they 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 oi these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. _laxu_ is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. Aftd the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them tf activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the proper assimila tion 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 maybe recom mended to be "just as good' It may b< better—for the dealer —because of its bette profit, but in such an instance the dealer h not the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE KEEPERS, w™" 2s 60 THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Should remind you that the best time t( commence taking something is at the begin ning, It should also remind you that the best remedy to head off a spell of sneezing, coughing and general unpleasantness is Benjamin Gum. MEN START AT MY STATEMENTS ABOUT BENJAMIN GUM! Thousands of bottles have been soil, and universal praise of its curative qualities is the result. Note the Name; SSpencer Vincent's Great Oenjamiti Gum Extract. PKICE 1 s 0 Take no other Remedy, bus insist on having BEN JAM'IN GUM Don't take "Just as Good." TESTIMONIALS. Woolston, August 10,1897. To SviitWKß. Vincent, Christchuroh, Dear Sir, —For soma time past I have been Buffering from a most painful cough. I had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at least or the remainder of tho winter, and feared that it had become chronic, seeing that other remedies failed to give me relief, much less cure. The pain became so intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I procured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may say that I hadn't an atom of faith in its curative properties, but frelfc that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of first bottle very freely, and am thankful to say in less than twelve feours I was wholly free *«™ "^^ P. S —Nearly toD months since cough



SAXCDIQi- _» : _oim JBuea lypii E-ttrnet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and 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 oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the tnedical division of tbe Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we itate:— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Scfaulz, Professor Of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other subatancos, adherent 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, whiah are abandoned 'long since as an ntetnal udioament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific 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 euuences are most appalling.

S M 0 X IS THE NEW VENUS Dark Aroroatie Plug Tobacco. THE OEL&fJRATED & BEST BPANL MANUffAOTUBKD FBOM CHOICEST VIRGINA LEAF 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 be at Newman's Stables 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 Bub3tance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He ia a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con- I stifcution. j j Hia sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by 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 j 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 ohampKU upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so 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. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, NZ.S.B.) 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 stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, j 5..8.) i King of Quality as a yearling gained first prise at Taieri Show, and seoond at Dunedin, and as a three-year-oid 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. Terms : £4 4s; £2 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves in foal. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomage fee, 8?» AH mares changing hands first'owners held responsible.
