Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam! with other Ingredients, prepared by a special prooais for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. Ib will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing cases.

Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they ar really only m need of a remedy to sco the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine whioh combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied ib acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, olearing away all effete matter and exoiting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there ia no organic disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " just as good.' , Ib may be betUr — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m Buoh an instance thedealer is not the one who needs help.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- •ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALN PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Ciinicß of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moßßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifßwald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinouß and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the 'sanative qualities proper to the plant \II crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinef, which are abandoned long since as an ntern&l adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pucgent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic 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 resipe and tennates. %f these crude oils, , so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of ctoup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal rjflamations, dysentery, etc., the con. sequences are most ar>palling.
