lypil Extniet. Under ihe distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Fort ign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, Match 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1383. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAIAPTI BXTRACr, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifsw&ld, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Scha]z, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of da resinous and other aubstaocos, adherent i primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, whish are abandoned long since as an. nternal udicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through ita surplus 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 rosins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamafcions, dysentery, etc., the con equences are most appalling.

Will be at Newman's Stables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is » colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, lias splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is 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 (448, vol. i).

Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S.C.S.B-); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was gotby the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs 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; amoDg the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her m 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 prize at Taieri Show, and second at Duuedin, and aa 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 purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale bipod, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a (jire.
