CONUNDEUM. TTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?— Because it is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresaeo the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There is no Cough Medioine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter its Buccesa 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 oatchpenny Quack Medicine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows Mb business It contains the same lagredientß as Fbiars' Balsam p which was first 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. Hpenoor Vincent's Benjamin Gum. IB a Compound of this Balaam, with other Ingredient*, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GU M Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal thorn at once. It must be used for some time, and uaed regularly m old-atanding cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with thia inflammation whioh causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much Is as any other Cough Mixture m the market, It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d 2s 6d Chemists and Stores. > Spencer Vincent, CHEMIST, OHRISTCHXJROH, PROPRIETOR. A VICTIM OP Functional Disease. AL lim NEVER fails any ona it X~VLciAUIII 6Ucn a predicament. T< sufferer* from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A frienc m need and a friend indeed." Assist Natur< by Alaxtxm, and you will avoid a multitude • of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medioines for renew' ing the energy Alaxum is the beßt. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Man 5 persons afflicted with constipation have testi- tied not only to its immediate relieving Sroperties but to the fact that the cure lasts. To 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 tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable: medioine that has evet been offered to to the publio m a popular form. 9 - ALAXUM «"»• Biliousnesß,' Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, 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 WJEJLX.,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yeb through derange, ment or weakness the 1 ;\, of the boay 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 causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are 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 thie purpose. It must oreate 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 medicine whioh combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and 1 its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it &ot» dweotly on the stomach, 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 organio 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 better— -for the dealer— beoause of its better profit), but m such an instance thejjdealer is not the one who needs help.

SAISI>JE^ So Jsoixs JEuea- lypii Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majeßty the King of Italy, aB 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 Climoa and UnivemtiM all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti 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 nformation forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we t ltW r oved °y tents by the Medioal Clinfoß of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prusiia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Profeßßor i Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moaeier, Dircotor of the Medioal OHnios at Qreifawald,. that only produota that are ■aturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other Bubitanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant crude oils, or bo called Euoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenfcinee, whioh are abandoned long Bince as an nternal ttdioatnent. These crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— whioh our product, the only . genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced' m speoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of reßine and tennatea. If theße crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m. cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- ■equences are most appalling.
