A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, Alay 1 1 tn NJfi VER fails any one m ™ cIAUIII such a predicament. To eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia. Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend In need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxvm, and you will avoid a multitude oi distressing functional derangementß and diseases. Of all known medioines for r«new- mg the energy Alaxum is the beat. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure kuto No oare is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inoonvenienoe m itß action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the moßt valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the publio m a popular form, ■ * ALAXUM oumb Biliousneßß, Bilious Head*ohe,;»DizEineas, OostiveneßS, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition 3 IVOXJE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be ■perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the ■ * of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and » 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 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 beoomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly 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 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.'^ It may be better— for the dealer— because >of its better profit, bub m euch an instance 'jjthe dealer is not^the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS &ISTORE- KEEPERS, FLICK 2 S 6d A CONUNDRUM. XX7HY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg?— Because it ia HARD TO BEAT ! THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There ia no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter its success 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 Medicine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; It contains the same Ingredients as Fbiars' Balsam, which was firat made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Beujaniin Gum is a Compound of this Balaam, with other Ingredients, 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 them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing 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 this iufUmmation which cauaea them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a ohewing gum, but 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.
