SANDEm «&e »o»s Euca lypti Extract. 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 . tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.ProfeßSor 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 substanooa, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, whish are abandoned ionjr since as an internal udicamenfr. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our producr, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presenae of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resinis and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamafcions, dysentery, etc., the con equences are most appalling.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, Al^viim f'^'^'fa*'Banyonß*n _ra.ld,AUlll F^ch a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it. >< "A friend in need and a friend indeed." ABsist Nature by Alascum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Alaxtjm is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with oonstipation have testi* tied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or ocou , pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action. It is at once a laxative, an j 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 ™™*



Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and a I functional derangements of the system of nutrition. NOTE THIS WELL.— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the booty 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 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 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 a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. Af(es' 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 aseimila 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 may be recom mended to be "just as good.' "it may be better—for the dealer— because of its better profit, but in such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help.

Woolston, August 10,1897. To Spencer Vincent, Christchurch, Dear Sir,—For some time past I have been suffering from a most painful coutrk, I had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at least or the remainder of the winter and feared that it had become chronic' seeing that other remedies failed to give me re'.ief, much lesß oure. The pain became so intense that I was afraid of injuring my thtoat 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 felt 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 hours I was wholly free from oough. 8..-W.
