CONUNDRUM. TVniY 13 BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard -boil. 1 Eig?— Because it iB HARD TO BEAT THA T preoieely 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 months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Care. It is not a oafcohpenny Quack Medicine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It ooncains the same Ingredients as Fbiabs' Balsam, which was fireb made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing outß and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balaam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a epeoial proooss for internal use. Aro you troubled with your Cheat! BENJAMIN GU M Will heal the Lunge. It will not heal them at onoe. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing oases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harah Cough BENJAMIN GUM Vill Heal the inflammation of the throat ■nd passages ot the nose as Friars' Balsam teals cute. Coughs disappear with thia nfhmmation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM [8 not a chewing gum, bub a very palatable iquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much many other Cough Mixture m the market. :t is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d a™ 2s 6d Chemists and Stores.

To Eufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and •Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, aud 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 personß afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. ' No care iB 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 Jpublio m a popular form. ALAXUM OURES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costivenesß, Sour Stomach, 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 WELL.- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the ■ of the body may perform cheir 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- Ution causes thousands of people (o 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 m appetite for food, and at the same time issimilate its nutriment. With either of )hese qualities alone the remedy would be ' vorso than useless, but with both it becomes i power with incalculable good. Alaxum b the only medicine which combines these wo qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and . ts first action is to create hunger. After he appetite is satisfied it acts directly on - he stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing 1 way all effete matter and exciting them to ctivity. The system then receives nutri- ion and new life from the prcper assimila- ion of the food ; and where there is no rganic disease health must follow. Thia i common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- tended to be "just as good.' . It may be tUr — for the dealer — because of its better rofit, but m such an instsnoe the.dealer is )t the one who needs help.

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 Olinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is 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, Maroh 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 Profeßsor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medioal Olinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of reßinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the nanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or ao called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udicatnent. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti 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 resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationß, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
