A CONUNDRUM. "TTTHY 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. There is no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduoed into Canterbury only last winter its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were Bold m a few monthß, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Care. It is not a catchpenny Q"ack Medicine. t iB made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business* It contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friara of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam haß been used for six hundred years for healing outs and wounds. (Spencer Vinoent's Benjamin Gtwm is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing oases. 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 Friara' Balsam heala cute. Coughs disappear with this infUmmation which cauaeß them. BENJAMIN GUM Ia 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.

To Eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the beat. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many Eersons afflicted with oonstipation have teati* ed not only to its immediate relieving Sroperties but to the fact that the cure lasts. Co 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 tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM OORBS Biliousness! Bilious Head«ohe, Dizziness, CoßtiveneßS, Sour Stomaob, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the 'system of nutrition! , NOTE THIS WEJLiiu— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound) and yet through derange- ment or weakness the > f» . 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 oauseß thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to see the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create I an appetite for food, and at the same time I assimilate its nutriment. With either of I these qualities alone the remedy would be I worse than useless, but with both it becomes I a power with incalculable good. Alaxum I is the only medicine whioh combines these J two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and 4 its first action is to create hunger. After I the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on I the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing I away all effete matter and exciting them to I activity. The syatem then receives nutri- I tion and new life from the prcper aseimila- I tion of the food ; and where there is no I organic disease health must follow* This I is common Bense and cannot be gainsaid, I Accept no substitute that may be recom- 1 mended to be "just as good.' . It may be I betUr — for the dealer — because of its better I profit, but m such an instsnoe the dealer is I not the one who needs help. " I FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- I KEEPERS, I men 2 S g D 1
