A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Alo-y-ni-n NEVER fails any one m •TT-lcl^Ulll 6uch ft predicament. To .sufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend n need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature 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 persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to' its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inoonvenienoe 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 haß ever been offered to to the publio m a popular form. ALAXUM °übbs Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Cosfciveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Puins and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the 'system of nutrition, 2 NOTE THIS WEJL.JL, The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the organs of the boay 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 sec 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 ab 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 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 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 is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Ace-, pt no substitute that maybe recom- mended to be "just as good.' * It may be tetter— far the dealer— because of its better profit, but m such an instsnee the dealer iB not the one'who needs help.

Woolston, August 10, 1897. f To Spenoer Vincent, .Christchurch. Dear Sir, — For some time past I have ieen suffering from a most painful cough. I lad quite given up hope of its ever leaving tie, at least or the remainder of the winterj nd feared that it had become chronic, °- eeing that other remedies failed to give me b< olief, much less cure. The pain became s-o itenso that I was afraid of injuring my hroat and head, especially the latter. I ■ rooured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, ad I may say that I hadn't an atom of kith m its curative properties, but felt that must take something to ease the pain. I ' rank contents of first bottle very freely, ad am thankful to say m less than twelve ours I was wholly free from cough. _ E. W. Sears. t P.S-— Nearly three months eicco cough r BpiW.««E,WiB. •*
