In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few months, and hundreds of eufferera wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a oatobpenny Quack Medicine. Ib is made by a fully qualified Chemist), who knows his business; Ib contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friara* Balsam has been ÜBed for six hundred years for healing cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special prooeas for internal use, Are you troubled with your Cheat? BENJAMIN GU M Will heal the Lungs. Ifa will not heal them ab once. Ib musb be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a» Harib, Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throab and passages of the nose as Friara' Balsam heals cute. Coughs disappear with this inflammation wbich causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gum, bub a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much as any other Cough Mixture m the market. Ib is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : la 6d *»d 2s 6d Chemists and Stores.

J Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per commuuica- •iou made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Conßul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraot the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medioal division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nform&tion forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, M&roh 2, 1878, we tate :— It ia proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities »t Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor f Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \U crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraott Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long ainoe as an nternal udicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungenb odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are moßt appalling.
