Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinouß oils.. In order that these crude oi-ld may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\ PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifewald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical CHnicß al Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal ddioament. These crude oils, or so called I Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : < 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — I which our product, the only genuine / Euoalypii Extract develops most freely through ita surplus oxygen. By their aloohnliu Chin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of r«siup and tentiates. If these etude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal liflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.

Imperial Parliament.



An interesting divorce case was heard m Paris a few days ago. It appears that a certain Madame Berny, tired of marred life, wished to get rid of her husband by divorce- She knew he was nob impervious to the oharms of the fair sex, but at the same time he was extremely prudent. Madame Berny therefore applied to a private detective < agency on whose recommendation she en- gaged a particularly smart and pretty little eoubrette, Mdlle. Jnhenne Avril. Madame Berny allowed her husband to go on busi- ness to Algeria, Kcomp-tnud by the maid; while she remained m Paris to clear up the removal and visit her mother. Telegrams reporting progress soon began to reach the private detective agency from the B ; ren m Algiers, and, finally, the evid«nca required by law to procure a divorce for Madame Berny was forthcoming m consequence of a police raid m the Rue Bab el-Oueu, the said raid having of couree, been prompted by the j siren. The divorce court, m spite of the circumstances, held that the evidence against Mr Berny was valid, and granted a decree. It was not, however, altogether what Madame Berny wanted. The judges con sidered that she had •' employed such means aa amouuted to a grave insult to her hus- band, and had trifled with coDJugal faith." Therefore the divorce was pronounced astainafi both parties, and there will be no alimony. Smce 1878 there have been nine epidemics of dysentery indifferent"/ parts of the country m which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is al- most as Bevere and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled physician:) have failed to check its ravages This remedy, however, has cured the most malignant caseß, bolh of children nd adult?, and under the most trying con ditione, which proves it to be the best medicine m qhe world for bowel complaints.

Press Association— By Electric Telegraph- Copyright. London, February 9. Parliament opened yesterday. J-ord Salisbury said that if Britain was with- drawn from the concert of Powers, the decisions of the Powers m regard to Greece and Crete would be still less favorable. The position m Crete was a scandal to Europe. Government, he said, had not surrendered one iota of treaty rights m China, and did not • intend to surrender. They were pre- pared to strain every effort to prevent the destruction of these rights, and no statement thrit had been made sug- gested the slightest intention of in- fringing treaty rights. China invited Britain to guarantee the indemnify loan. Personally he was not enthusi- astic over the matter, but she offered very favorable terms m return. The forward polisy m India was being carried out to an inestimable extent, and Britain was gradually converting those Bplendid tribes tfj civilization. \ He warned the country that it would be dangerous to revert to the o'd idea, that it was England's duty to fight everybody and take everything. Such a doctrine meapt over-taxing her strength. Lord Salisbury said the Chinese concessions m connection with the loan were m the direction of increasing freedom of trade. He had suggested that la-Hen-wan be declared a treaty port, but China objects to this. Russia spontaneously offered any port occupied by her as an outlet for commerce fre9 to Biitain. Germany made a similar offar. Hon A. J Balfour stated that Britain, France, and Russia, agreed to guarantee the loan, Greece to pay the war indemnity, and secure the evacua- tion of Thessaly. Mr Davitt's amendment on the ad- dress m reply urges the generous relief of the famine stricken people m Ire- land.



IMPURE BLOOD Is the Cause of very many of the Ills to which Flesh is Heir. Ayer's Sarsaparilla purifies, vitalizes and enriches the Blood, as testified to by Mr. W. J. Pickering, Storekeeper, Breeza, New South Wales, who sends his portrait and tells the following interesting story: ' "In the year 1890 my ankle broke out, and I went to a doctor who told me I was suffering from blood poisoning. He prescribed f or me but -did^me no good, and I tried several other physicians without benefit. 1 went into St. Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and after a month's treatment there came out worse than ever, feeling greatly discouraged. I suffered terribly for four years, until my wife, hearing of your Sarsaparilla got me a bottle. She persuaded me to give it a thorough trial. Soon I noticed that the sore on mv ankle began to heal, then the pain diminished, and after a course of Bix bottles I became as well as ever I was m my life, and I remain m the Everybody for miles around here knows what tribulation I went through. I now recommend Ayer's Sarsaparilla to all who suffer with impure blood, and I am glad to say that it has done good to all who have tried it.' Be sure that you get the original > Ayer's Sarsaparilla and be not deceived by the numerous imitations of this wonderful medicine. Prepared by Dr. J. O. Ayer & Oo.> Lowell, Mass., T7. 8. A.
