LEGISLATION FOR FARMERS, United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph Wellington, Ootober 12 Replying to a deputation of members representing country constituencies, who urged that the Rating on Unimproved Valueß Act Amendment Bill, the Dairy Industry Bill, the Rabbit-Proof Wire Setting Bill, the Stook Act Amendment Bill, the Noxious Weeds Bill, and the Orchards and Garden Pests Bill should be pushed forward, the Minister for Land** said le attached groat importance to the Dairy Industry Bill, and would do his best to get it through. It was necessary to pass the Slaughtering and Inspection Bill before going on with the Produce Exports Bill, and he would do his best to get the other measures mentioned by the deputation passed. The practice— which of late has become prevalent — of giving bot fly remedies or ordinary colic drinks, .without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannot be too severely condemned. Many a valuable horse haa been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple symptoms So-called rejf vdies, inimical to life under certain conditions are ad- ministered, with the resul. that the disorder assumes an acute form, the owner becomes alarmed, but alas !it is often too late. W T Kingston has been wonderfully successful during the late epidenr'c among horses Veterinary medioine can be obtained at all hours, either at his Veterinary Forge, Wills Street, or at his private residence, Grey Street, near High School. Horses (only) attended upon the shortest notice. Testi- monials can be seen upon application. — (advt) 10 19 SAJVIXEJK & tsojxm Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 18.78. 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 simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTB.A.CT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Go vernment 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. Scnulz,Professor of 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 develops the sanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udicament. These crude oils, or so 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 alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of Group, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
