THE NEW GUINEA SYNDICATE

Sir Chamberlain's Letter. United Press Association— By Eleotrio 1 Telegraph— Copyright Brisbane, June 11 Mr Chamberlain'jj letter to the Governor m reference to the New Guinea land grab has been received. It recommends certain amendments m the Ordinance, and concludes — " I have caused the Syndicate's solicitors to be informed that on the understand ing that the Ordinance is amended as required I shall at once submit it for the Qaeen's approval." The corres pondence between Mr Chamberlain and the Company's solicitors shows that Mr Chamberlain generally ap proved of the agreement, but asked " that it be amended m regard to the Company acquiring the sole right to purchase lands m New Guinea until they hid purchased the whole quantity which they were entitled to purchase. He »lso required certain amendments m regard to the survey and the royalty on minerals. The Syndicate's solicitors replied, assenting to these amendments, and asked Mr Chamber lain to formally notify his approval of the Ordinance. The Syndicate would then lodge, as they have since done, the preliminary purchase money. - To this Mr Chamberlain replied that, as the amendments had been accepted ■by the Syndicate, he bad informed the Governor of Queenslaud that if the Ordinance waß passed by the New Guinea legislature he would at once submit it for the Queen's approval Mr Dickson, the acting-Chief Secre tary of Queensland, m view of Mi Chamberlain's expression that the Ordi nance, as amended, must be adopted by the Legislature of New Guinea before he recommends it to the Qaeen, holds the opinion that it must also be further considered by the Governments of Queensland and the other contri buting colonies,

A. CONUNDEUM. TTH-HY IS BEWJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?— Because ; it] is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have nsed Benjamin Gum. There is no Cough Medicine like it. In- roduoed into Canterbury only last winter its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few month», and hundreds of snfferera wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a cafcohpenny Qoaok Mediolne. [t is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; Ib aoncains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, whioh 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. Hpenoer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special prooefla for internal use. Are yon troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at onoe. It must be used for some time, and nsed regularly m old-standing oases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation ' of the throal and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals outs. Coughs disappear with thil inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM i Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatabU liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as muol as any other Cough Mixture m the market It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d 2b 6d Chemists and Stores. Spencer Vincent, CHEMIST, OHRISTCHURGH, PROPRIETOR.

ALAXUM ™- Biliousness! Bilious Headache, .Dizziness Costiveneßß, Sour Stomaoh, Loss o Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and al functional derangement! of the systen of nutrition S NOTE THIS WELL,- The whole system of a human being may b< perfectly sound, and yet through derange went or weakness the i iv of the boai may perform their functions or their wort sluggishly, thus giving rise to want o appetite, and a consequent general impover ishment of the whole being. Suoh a con dition causes thousands of people to fano^ that they are consumptive, while they an really only m need of a remedy to sco th< organs of the body working harmoniously, Reason points to two essential qualities m 8 remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either ol 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 oreate hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the Btomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the prcper a&Bimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organio disease health must follow* This is common sense and oannob be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " just as good.' , Ib may be better— for the dealer— because of its better profit, bub m suoh an instance the'dealer is not the one who needs help.

SAJNIXEts &c ssoijs Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion 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 Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of aimplo distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government bb of perfectly pure origin, as per n for mat ion forwarded to U3 through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tato : — It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor i Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that arc saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other kubstanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant . \llorude oils, or 'so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinec, whish are • abandoned longr sibce as , an nternal adio&ment. These crude oils, or bo called 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. By their alcoholic thin and mobile, appear- . ance being reduced m specific density through the presonoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypb extracts, are applied by mistake iv cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con- sequences are most appalling.
