Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as 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 Exhibits n, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Gl.nic* and Universities all over the Giobe. 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 be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Glinicß at Greifaw&ld, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of da resinous and other substancoß, adherent i 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 Ion? since as an nternal udioament. These orude 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. 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 nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the con equencea are most appalling.

HANMER & THE PUREBRED »CLYDEBDALE 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, risiog five yeara old, bred by Mr R. Glawn, North Taieri. He is a colb of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and ptsterns, 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. Hiasire 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 progeaj. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) waa a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champi^a 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 slre.BritishLion.is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best) hones ever landed in New Zealand, King °f Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, IN Z.b.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go in£,o details; suffice it to say she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the othera she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a nare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dara Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S. B.)



King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and aaoond at Dunediu, and as a three-year-aid first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is clesoended from the purest strains of prixe-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire. Terms : £44 s; £2 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves in foal. Season mares, £3 3s. Gcoomage fee, ss. All mares changing hands first owners held responsible.
