Agent.forJCooper's Sheep Dip. rjiHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender j JL heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater parb of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, " Believe me, there ie 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 as urgent journey, eveiyv ' is lost through the horse falling lame; and the man—always; the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's (mattered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. - The owner oughts to consider bis servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " I uttered no com* plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consecration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the persjnal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17 WILLIAM = =PATCHING, EAST STREET.

SAXDXiR & Son* ICucalyptl Extract , There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market now, products of simple distillation forming rude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not ba taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is x cognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of periectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consnl at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— Is proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greif&wald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Frof^ssor of Pavmacology, at Bon.andPrcfessor Dr Hosier, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated w'th oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adnerent to pi'imary distillation, will j davolipe the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and accoriing to Pro lessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bane- Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the c Iy extract corresponding to scientific te t-, and the only: one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Zander <fe *-'on's Eucalypti Extract, i All other crude oils are to bo classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an -nterca; medicament. These so-c-illed Bucalyjt' Extracts which may have received distinction at Exhibitions us commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency m ru'.gent odour—which our , product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts developes moat treely through its surplus of oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearancebeirp reduced m specific density through the presence of acids By their taste, the result cf the contracting ten- I dency of lesins and tennates. If these crude oi!s, so-called eucalypti extracts, arc applied by mistak" m cases of croup, froncbiti .diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appallin.-.
