CONUNDBUM. TTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?— Beoause \ it] is HARB J TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There is so Cough Medicine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter ita success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medicine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Fbiabs' Balsam, which waa first made by the Monks and Friars of I Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam haß been used for six hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Hpenoer Vincent's Benjamin Gtum is a Compound of this Balaam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a speoial prooeaa for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal -the Lungs. It will not h«al them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standiDg oasei. 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 Friars' Balsam heals cutst Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN 'GUM Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as muoh as any other Cough Mixture m the market. It is the KING OF ALL.

A 1 m NEVER fails any one m XII.IcIXU.III such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Natnre 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 best. Its ' secondary effects are marvellous. Many persona afflioted with constipation have testi* fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the oure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenienoe 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 publio m a popular form. ALAXUM ..«*» Biliouanesß, Bilious Headaohe, ' Dizziness, Coßtiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss - of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigeation ■ Dyspepsia, Flatuleaoe, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the , of nutrition], i NOTE THIS WELL.- The whole system of a human being may be •perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the » L}. 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 causes 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 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 medicine whioh combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to oreate hunger. After the appetite, is satisfied it acts directly on the stomaoh, 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 asßimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organio disease health must follow* This ia common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' , It may be betUr — for the dealer— beoause of its better profit, but) m such an instsnoe the^dealer is not the one who needs help.

These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our produot, the only genuine Eucalypti 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 rosina and tennateß. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistako m caseß of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con- ■equencea are most appalling.
