_ * Borough Waterworks. — The first Btep of the Borough Council towards the intro duction of a sufficient water Bupply for the town ia advertised to-day — the taking over of seventeen acres of land at the intake. Work Completed.— During the past few days there have been complaints about the supply of gas for the town", but those who complained were perhaps not aware that the su main for about seven chains on the N.E. Belt was being lowered, owing to the alterations m the grade of the road. This work has been oarried out, and the supply of gas for the town fairly maintained throughout, though the task has been by no means an easy one for the Company's engineer.

CONUNDKUM. TyHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like « Hard-boiled Egg !— -Beoause it is HARI TO BEAT THAT precieely expresses the opinion oi all who have ÜBed Benjamin Gum. There ie no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduaed into Canterbury only last winter its euooesa was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medioin*. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who cnows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Fbiabs' Balsam, which was irst made by the Monks and Friars of ; Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Hpencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a speoial prooeii for internal use. Are you troubled with your Oho«b? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal thsm at onoe, It must be ÜBed for some time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Hank Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages ot the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which 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. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d and 2s 6d Chemists and Stores. Spencer Vincent, CHEMIST, OHRISTCHUROH, PROPRIETOR. A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Al n NEVER fails any ona m X"VLeIXU.III such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxdm, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxtjm is the beßt. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with ooDsbipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties bub to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the mosb valuable medioine that has ever been offered to to the .pnbllo m 8/ popular form. ALAXUM OUBES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costivenesa, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition 5 NOTE THIS WEUU- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the > ; t of the body may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition oauses thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to eeo the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reaßon points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the Bame 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 medioine whioh combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first aotion is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the Btomaoh, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This ia common sense and oannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "jußb bb good.' . It may be Ictta — for the dealer — because of its bettei profit, but m such an instsnoe the'dealer v not the one who needs help.
