In- troduced into Canterbury only lasb winter its 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. 5 Ib is not a catchpenny Quack Medicine, It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who 3 knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for Bix hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Spencer .

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 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 coDstipation 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 inconvenience m - its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press aa the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the publio m a popular form. ALAXUM CUEEa Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition g NOTE THIS WJEL.Hu— The whole Bystem of a human being may be ■perfectly toimd, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the . . > of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving riße 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 sco 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, bub 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 1 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 peeper aasimila tion of the food; and where there ia organic disease health vmsl follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid Accept no substitute that may be reonm mended to be -just as good.',, Ib £?% better— for the dealer— because of its hZnll ' profit, but m such an instsnee SheMealer ia I not the one who needs help. °« u «aier is .

SATsi>JEl*s «Se »ons Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- -ioa 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 Eucalypti Extract the roarkeb, products of eimple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR 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 tate : — It ia proved by tests by the Medical Cliuicß of the Univerßitieß at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Profeaeor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Groifß\vald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the ianative qualities proper to the plant illcrudo oils, or co called i'ucalypti Extract* are to be clateed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinec, whiah Bre abandoned lonp eince as au nternttl udicauient. Theac crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract deyolops most freely through its Burplus 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. resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the con- ■eqnences are most appalling. y O r safety ' akeask always for SAN DER&SON'SEUCA- !
