NOTE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness theirs ai 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- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to £co 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. Alaxbm is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on j the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there iB no organic disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be •'juat as good.', It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instsnee^the dealer is not the one who needs help. a FROM ALL CHEMISTSg& STORE- KEEPERS.

J had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at leasb or the remainder of the winter and feared that it had become chronic* seeing that other remedies failed to give me ' relief, much less cure. The pain became so intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the i att | r m ? procured one bottle of your Bekjamin Gbm and I may aay that I hadn't an atom o' faith m its curative properties, but felt that 1 1 must take something to ease the nain T drank contents of firsb bottle very Ww and am thankful to say m lesß than tweW« houra I was wholly free from cough.

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1893. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over tho 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 ISXTEAOr, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfertly pure origin, as per iuformatiou fen warded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It iB proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Profeßsor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinicß at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substancoa, adherent to i primary distillation, will develope the i vanative qualities proper to the plant \llorude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraota 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 bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops mosb freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste » the result of the contracting tendency of resina and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
