AN ASHBURTON-BUILT ORGAN ♦ For a considerable time past Mr David J Jones, the well-known Ashbuttou musician has been engaged m the construction of * pipe organ. The result of his work, wit! 3 such mechanical aid as he enlisted, is now t 3 be aeen m the old billiard room of Britton' < hotel, where the organ has been set up. 1 B stands with all its internal structure am 9 working parts open to view — that ie, m 9 ornate casing yet encloses it, for the reasoi 9 that organs being usually built for particula 3 halla or churches, the casing has to be ii 9 keeping with the'' architecture or at leas the decoration of the building m which th 1 organ may rind a pnrmanent home. Ai ' this organ has not been built for any parti ' culai>rb< m, and has not yet become the pro per'y of anyone beyond the builder, it hui 3 b en considered advisable to encase i '•• just yet, so that vsitors have an excellent c opportunity of seeing what like the work manship is. On Wednesday evening Mi ! Jonea gave a private exhibition of thi | organ t° a few of the local musicians, m ' oiuding one or two representatives of ilit press, and after explaining the works gave i ' recital of the powers of the organ, and hi: own m bringing divine music out of it. Tlu blowing ge*r is all complete, but as Mi 1 Junta does not always iiad an organ boj 1 handy when he wisi.es to pay he has fixed temporary blowing pedals so that be miy be independent of the blower, and can provide the wind hinvelf. The o.ganist played tw( 1 piices — both the cr-'atious of his own genius — with infinite skill and exquisite taste. The firet was " Marcha de loa Castillejos,' composed partly m Spain, and a reverie il Depjirdins ; trauscrito par D. Jones" the inspiration for which was repeived during a doke far niente m our beautiful DpmaiD, i The specification of the organ is as follows :— Pipes. Open diapason ..  Btfc, Stopped diapa&on .. . . Bft. Olarabeila Bft. Ptincipal .. .. .. 4ft. F'autina (spotted metal) .. 2ft. Bourdon (pedals) ..  16ft. Bourdon on manual and pedals. The tone of the instrument is superb, and the organ will he a great acquisition to what- ever church or hall for which it may be secured. S>\JNDiiU< & SBOuts Enca- lypii ICxri'fict. . Under the distinguished patronage of Hie Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affaire 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 ]bhe Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude pils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTJ EXTRACT, which ig recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate { — It is 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 D.r. Moßsier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds , resinous and other substancos, adherent primary distillation/ will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called liucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities! among the turpentines^ whiah are abandoned long since us an ntetnal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 2 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygeu. By their alcoholic thin and mobile uppear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of revise and tennates. If these crude p)1p ; so-called euoalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, inpernal nflamatioaß, djyfleut.ery, et,c, the c.oa- sequences are most appalling.

OEBILITMEB BY HOT WEATHER. TIRED OUT PM& ILL. Xonks (so-called) do no good, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla builds up and restores to health Mr. J. Gough of Cape Town, Cape Colony, who sends his portrait and writes as follows: "During the past summer the extremely hot weather made me seriously ill. I lost all appetite, could not sleep, was incapacitated for work, and Buffered from severe pains m the head. I tried several tonics, but they did me no good whatever. A friend, who had been similarly affected, told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, as he had done. I followed his advice, and soon began to regain my strength, and after using three or four bottles my health was completely restored." Very many people suffer from the effects of a prolonged season of warm weather m the same way as did Mr Gough. Their blood becomes thin, food distasteful, and life is positively burdensome. Ayer's Sarsaparilla makes new pure blood; restores strength and vitality, and has been tht Balvation of thousands who, prior to its use, were, as they expressed it "both tired out and worn out." See that the name— Ayer's Sarsapanlla-is on the wrapper andblowi m the glass of each bottle. Prepared by Dr. J. O. Ayer & Co., Lowell," Mass., U. S. A.
