Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as ppr comnmnica- •ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1873. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. - Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Giobe. 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, OUJtI 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, March 2, 1878, we t»te :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinios of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, 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 subßtancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the kanative qualities proper to the plant 4.11 crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which •re abandoned Ion? since as an nternal adicament. 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 alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m Bpecifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of reaiae and tennatea. If these crude oils,- so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake iv cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamattons, dysentery, etc., the con- Bequencei are most ai>pillin£.

Will be at Newmau's Stables every Satnrday. Kino of Quality is a dapple bay, rising six yea's old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North I Taleri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recom- mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feet; and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing, wl'h nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British I Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Kae, from Scotland, by Areyle (25^7 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wal<»s (673, vol i). grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-ye«r-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Z aland four dmea, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2id (299, SC S B), grand tire Ivanhoe Ist (imported; 113, NZ S B). He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no con.ment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la d-d m New Zealand. King of Qiality's dim, Que n of Quality, (608, JST Z S II) show y.trd care-r mso well and favorab l? known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details j suffice it to say, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunedia This caveei has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring 3n unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) Kiug of Quality as a yearling gained first priz9 at Taieii show and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above thit King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of piize-'aking Ciydes- iale blood, and cannot fail to make a Dime fur himself as a siro, Has proved himself m thfs district as a sure foal getter.
