SAIMI>EJK Ad »obl» Euca lypti EJxtract.



There are imitationa of Eucalypti Extract ia the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PUftK VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as tbeir Information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It proved by tests by the Medical Ciimcs of the Universities at Bonn and Oreitswald, Prussia, aadreportedby Dr, Schulz,Professor ofParmacology.atßon, and Professor Dr. Mo*ler, Direotor of the Medical Clinic at Grnftwald, that only products that ara •atnrated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, 'arill develope the t&native qualities proper to the pjant Recording to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lwter, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one whioh possesses the proper therapeutic value. BANDER & SOK'S EUCALTJP EXTRACT. AH other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and art abandoned as ara internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction afc Exhibitions *a"commercial articles are used for mechanical Snrposes are only discernible. >y their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. Byiiheir alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density thraagh the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oil?, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, andreliablepreparation. —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS. ■

ALAXUM Tiie greatest remedy ever introduced for a!i diseases arising from a disordered state of the digestive system. It if A LAXATIVE. AN AI'PKTISKR. AND A STIMULATING TONIC. A few opinions from the Christchurcb Press and other newspapers :— " AhA xum stands alone an-1 unrivalled in the treatment cf all ailments duu to defective assimilation." " Al^xumstrikes at the root by correct ing the irregularity." "No morbid condition can exist." " Vital force speedily generated by Alaxum, the premier medicine." " Alaxum is essentially a netvp timulant and tonic laxative which strengthen* the whole being. There is NO MEDICINE TO EQUAL IT INDIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA. LIVER COMPLAINTS, SLUGGISH ACTION of the BOWELS, CONSTIPATION, BILIOUSNESS, or HEADACHE. and all derangements oi the Digestive System. It does not act. by drastic purging, than which there is no greater evil to the hum in body. By clearing tl;e alimentary canal of all f v! matter, ani by toning and renewing the strength of the entire digestive system, It builds up the entire energy of the whole being and enables it to throw off all functional disease. Where there is organic disea c we say consult a physician. Remember, how ever, th»t must of the ailments affecting humanity are FUNCTIONAL^ The organs themselves are Eound, but are not doing thfir work. Alaxum tL Remedy. *m°k 2s Qd FROM ALL CHEMISTS.
