be Id ix ■■ h A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, - AloYnm NEVER fails any ona m nidAUlu such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliouancis and Constipation it is '* A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxtjm, and you will avoid a multitude , of distressing functional derangements and v diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- j ing the energy Alaxdm 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 ia required while using it. It does not interfere with tho diet, habits or occu- -5 pation, and produces no inconvenience m \ its action. It is at onoe a laxative, an ! appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as 1 the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form, ALAXUM ™™ s I Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Coativeness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and ail functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS WJBLI.- 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 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 causeß thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they ar« really only m need of a remedy to sco tno organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two esaeutial qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at tho same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of theae qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxtjm is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and ita 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 prcper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no organio disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Acaopt no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just aa good. 1 "it may be betta—for the dealer — because of ita better profit, but m euch an instance the dealer ie not the one who needs help.

TT7HY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?— Because it is HAED TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There is no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last 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. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medicineß It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first mado by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's E^vnjamiu Csriim is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for aome time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the threat and paßßastes ot tho none as Friars' Balsam heals cuts.

Xhere are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming orude resinous oils. In order that these orude oils may not be taken, OIJR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medioal 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 is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics ab Greifswald, that only products that are •aturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude ous, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed acoording to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through 1 the presence of aoids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypb extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
