CONUNDRUM. XT7HY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg?— Because it is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. i There is no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter its sucoesa was immediate. Thousands of bottlea were sold m a few monthß, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It iB not a catchpenny Quack Medicine. It ia made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; It contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which waß 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 cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Cheat? BENJAMIN GU M Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once, It must be used for Borne time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harßh Cough I BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages ot the nose as Friara* Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing 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. PRICE : Is 6d **» 2s 6d Chemists and Stores. Spencer Vincent, CHEMIST, OHRISTCRURCH, PROPRIETOR. A VICTIM OF 3 i f Functional Disease. A 1 a -vi m NEVER fails any one m [ X~V.lclX.Ulll 6Ucn a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, ) Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxtjm, and. you. will avoid a, multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persona afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. 1 No care ia required while using it. It does not interfere- with the diet, habits or occu- p ation, 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 most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the Jpublio m aj popular form. ALAXUM ODRES Biliousnessi Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Coßtiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the syatem of nutrition NOTE THIS WELL,- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the > t 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 sec 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 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 Byfltem then receives nutri- tion and new life from the prcper 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 fctUr for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instance the^de&ler is not the one who needs help.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming orude resinous oils. In order that these orude 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, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate t — It iB proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of , resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant Ml orude oils, or so oailed Eucalypti Extracts Are to be classed according to the earned' authorities, among the turpentines, which Me abandoned long since as an ntamal adicamenr. These crude oils, or ao oailed Eucalypti Extraots, are discernible :. 1 By their deficiency m pungent 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 reaine and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationa, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
