A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. A 1 avi 1m N^VER fails any one in X~\.ldA.Ulll fiUcn a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend iv need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure login. no care is required while 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 *»», Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of • Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia^ Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. NOTE THIS WJEHLL..— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform cheir 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 qutriment. With either of theße 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 ia to create hunger. After 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 assimila tiou 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 bo better — for the dealer —because of its bettei profit, but in such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help.

KING OP QUALITY is a dapple bay, risiDg five yeara old, bred by Mr R. Qawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterns, also great bone, dean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesda'e. He is a prime mover, has good temper, aud sound con stitution. His sire ia Lion King, by British' Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Eae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi..), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (443, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedia 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.) wasa mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain pf blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champw upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.8.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the i great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding neads 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 beat horses ever landed in I New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is [ needless to go into details; suffice it to say, j she has taken 14 first prizes and seven ! champions; amoDg the others she was I champion mare at the Exhibition Show, ! Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a I 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, S. B.) King of Quality aa a, yparijng gained firet prize at lawn Show, ana second at Dunedin und 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 puresb strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
