Mr George Jameson.

As the gentleman to whom the subjoined refers is well known in Aphburton, it will be of interest bo many of our readers. It is taken from the letter of iho London corres pondent of the Otago Daily Times, who writes under date January 8 :—Mi George Jameson, general manager of the New Zea land Farmers' Co-opera 1 ive Association, gave a vory enjoyable dinner p>rt,y last Tuesday evening at the Cafe Royale, Regent street, partly aa a farewell to London friends on his departure for New Zealand. and partly at the means of introducing his successor as London manager, Mr Thomas Mackenzie, to leading business men in London. About twenty guests wero present. Th® speeches were few, brief, and to the point. Mr W. P. Reeves, Agent-General for New Zealand, who acted as vice-chair man, proposed the health of Mr Mackenzie in one of his happiest post prandial speeches, referring humorously to the novelty of the situation, seeing that while in New Zealand, although personal friend-, they were always the most inveterate po'itical antagonists. Mr Mackenzie made a very felicitous reply, and finally Mr J. Sclanders proposed- the health of the host, Mr ■Jameson, warmly expressing the deep regret felt by all at Mr Jameson's approaching departure, and pay ing cordial testimony to his many high qualities. Mr Jameson suitably acknow ledged the compliment.

In order that those crude oils may not betaken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTRA.CT, which is recognised by the 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 State: — Is provel by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Uniyersities at Bonn and Greifcwald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schiilz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and Other substances, adnerent to primary distillation, will dsvelope the sanativs qualities proper to the plant According to these authorities, and according to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer Molntire, Wooi, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific te t', and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Sander ife Hon's Eucalypti Extract. All 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 medicament. These so-cilled Eucalyptl Extracts | which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in runpent odour-—which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts developes most freely through ics surplus of oxygen By their alcoho'ic thin and mobile appearance beirg reduced in specific density through the presence of acids By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, arc applied by mistake in cases of croup, tronchiti , (ii ii theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appal line. For safety, always ask for SANDBR & SUJN *S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, ' and get the old, well-tested, and reliable preparation. —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER AND SONS.

JOSEPH LLOYD, June,, PROPRIETOR. ITIHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender X heart beueath a stern appearance. He is said to have been in tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, everything is lost through the horse falling lame ; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " I uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of ME KINGSTON. 2 17 lIMOATE X C^ PURE CEYLON »lA?i Ifoui Within tha Reach of ;,ll CEYLON 1/H PURE "— /ajjjjT INDIAN I/If| BLENDED <€%!£.
