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 Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical 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 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 state :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Profeßsor Of Parmaoology, 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 substances, adherent primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Ail crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udioament. These crude oile, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presenoe of acids. 2 By their taste, the result of th* contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, bo called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con eauences are most appalling.

THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY j i 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 oolt of great* substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and piaterns, 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 Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2507 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; 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.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ibc j (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir WalterSoott, whose breeding nesds 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, N Z.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 j champion mare at the Exhibition Show, i Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a j mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who rsfcired; from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp.; 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prisse 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. Terms : £4 4s; £2 2s at end of season, balance when mare proves in foal. Season mares, £5 3s. Groomage fee, 5?, All mares changing hands first owners held responsible, Good grass paddocks at owner's farm, as per arrangement. Ail care taken, but no J responsibility.
