Will be at Newmans Scabies every Saturday. King op Qoxmy ia a dapple b*y, rising six yea^s old, bred by Mr RGswd, North Taleri. He Is a colt of great substance and power, with mary points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feeb and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing, with nice silky hair — the true badge of a well bred Olydesdale. He is a prime mover, has- good temper, and Bound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol vl), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673. vol 1), grand dam Maggie, by Loehend Champion {US, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show aa a three-year-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro 1 geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, NZSB), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Hen sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC S B). grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, NZSB). He was get by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no oom< ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever iai ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, NZSB) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that It is needless to go into details ; snffiea it to say, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunedin. This career has stamped 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 Qaality as a yearling gained first prize at Taleri show and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above 1 that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydes- dale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire. Has proved himself m this district as a sure foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4s. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomage fee, 53. All mares changing hand*, first owners held responsible.

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalyptl Extract the market, products of aiaiyl- 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 modical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, an per oformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we It ii proved by tests by the Me Meal Clinici of th« Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dri Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are taturated with oxygen and freed of reainous and other eubstanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant 411 orude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extract* Are to be classed Recording to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which ate abandoned lons siDoe as an nternal udioament. These crude oils, or so sailed Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible ; 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. j By their alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the preßenoe of aoids. By their fcaafce, the result of the contracting tendency of resioe and tennates. If these orude oils, so-called eucalypt extraote, are applied by mistake m oases of croup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con- sequences are moßt appalling.
