ALAXUM otbSi Biliousneßß, Bilious Headaohe,*JDizzineas, Coßtiveneßß, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulenoe, Heartburn , Pains and Distress after Eating, and all funotional derangements of the of nutrition. NOTE THIS WELL,- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness their Mil of the body 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 causes thousands of people to fanoy that they are consumptive, while they are really only in need of a remedy to aeo the j organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in a remedy for thie purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medioine which combines these two qualities. It ia a natural appetiser, and its first action ia to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exoiting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' . It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but ia such an instance \tho dealer is not^the one who needs help.



A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. A 1 a yii m NJfi VER fails any one in ■fxidAUlll 6UC h a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend in need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing funotional derangements and diseases. Of all known medioines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum ia the beat. Itß secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with oonstipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the faot that the oure lasts. 'No oare iB required while using it. It) does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produoes no inoonvenience in its action. It is at onoe a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed oy the Press as the most valuable medioine that haa ever been offered to to the public in a popular form.

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, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinouß oils. In order that these crude oils may not be takoD, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, aa per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tato : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Fraßßia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Profeßsor 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 da resinous and other substanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative 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, whish are abandoned long since as an nternal -adioament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency in puugent odour— whioh onr product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced iu specific density through the presence of acjjds. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennnteß.



If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in caees of oroap, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationa, dysentery, etc., tho con- sequences are most- appalling.
