S' "AlHlJEi* Sc sons Euca lypti Extract. There are Imitations of Eucalypti Extract In the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. Iv order that theße crude oils may not beitaken, OUR PUBE VOLATILE EUOALN PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, m ttor information forwarded to us through the OonsS »t Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we §t Improved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and preifowald, Frusl,andreportedbyDr.S O httk,Profeasor ofParmacology.atßon, and Professor Dr; Mosler, Director of the Medical Ohnio at Greifswatd, that only products that are ■atorated with oxygen a.nd freed ofacids, wainou* and other Bubstaooos, adherent) to Primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant acoording to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Dra. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond inc to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be eiaesed among the turpentines, which have, when mcd as medicine, no therapeutic effect,, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibition as commercial articles ara used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oils, 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.

FACTS ARE OHIELS THAT WINNA DING, AND DAURNA BE DIS PUTIT,"—Burns. fpiMES change, and with them manners X and tastes. The unimpeachable evi dence of statistics of trade tells us that the people readily appreciate a good and pure article in preference to a dear and inferior one. This haa never been so clearly demon strated as in the records of fche Customhouse. In 1885 Ceylon Tea made its first appear ance in New Zealand. That year the total quantity imported from all sources was 4,442,8671b, of which China supplied 2,487,6611b, or 60£ per cent. India supplied 150.6441b, or 3£ per cent. Cbylon supplied 4i>3Jt>, or 001 per' cent. ! That INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SHIPMENT j to this colony was so appreciated that ' peop'e asked for more and got it. £5 years later (1890) the imports atood thus :— China supplied 976,2401b, or 25^ per cent, India supplied 657 9 902!b, or 17 per cent.' Ceyion supplied 3J03,13 I?''Jl> s or s>f per cent. j The total imports for that year from all sources were 3,849,105!b. It was this year that Surafcura Tea was introduced, and became a boon and a blessing to humanity. How it has established itself in the homes of the people may be seen by the manner in which it haa distanced all rivals, and materially assisted to drive China teaa out of consumption. la 1896— ' Chiisa supplied 58,941 ib, or 1£ per cent, i India supplied 902,6451b, or 20£ per cent. Ceylon supplied Sj3lO,4lSllb» or 45>£>£ per cent. No other article of domestic consumption can show anything approaching this. Suratara Tea is picked and packed in Ceyloa, thereby preserving its freshness and aroma until it reaches the consumer—which accounts for its economy and purity. Suratura Tea ia NOT blended with India or China Teas. JOHN ORR & CO., agents.
