Awarded liploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Univeraitiee all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract! in the market, products of simple iisfcillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURK VOLATILE EUGALY PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government bo be of perfectly pure origin, as per Information forwarded to us through the Donaul at Melbourne, March 2,1878, we state:—- It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics >f th« Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schalz, Professor it Paraacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. dossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at •Ireifswald, that only products that are atursted with oxygen and freed of acids, esiaous and other substances, adherent to irimary distillation, will developa the anative qualities proper to the plant Ul crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts tfß to be classed Recording to the Darned .uthoritiee, among the turpentines, which ,re abandoned long since as an internal eudioamenr. These crude oils, or so-called fiucalypti Extracts, ate discernible : i By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extracb develops mo3t freely through its surplus oxygen. [ By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear »nce being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. i By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake in cases of roup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal aflamationa, dysentery, etc., the con equences are most appalling.

Stud Notices. THE . PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willow by, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Ashburton Forks Districts. Will be at Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OP QUALITY ia a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Sawn, North Taieri. He ia 8 colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and piaterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—-the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He ia a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported hy Mr Hugh Bae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, byjjoekend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin 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.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and charnpwt* upon each occasion. Her sire was Iyanhoe 2nd (299, S'.C.S.B'.) ( ; grand sire Ivanhoe Ibf; (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir WalterSfiotb, whose breeding neadg nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, ia so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in 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, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has scamped her as a 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, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prfge at Taieri §hpw, an«i second at D^unedin, and as a throe-year-pl'd' first ati 'Ta'ieH' amd second at J}'unedin.' it will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and caunot fail to make a pame for himsplf as $ §ire, Terms 'i'^^l^ 3 s $ fc W d °F Be^on, balance when mare" proves in jfoal.
