CONUNDRUM. TTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg? — Because it is HARD 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 i 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 Friars' Balsam, which was first made 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 Benjamin trim- is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal uae. Are you troubled with your Chest? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standiog cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages ot the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM* Is not a chewing gum, bub a very palatable liquid. I The bottle contains almost twine as much as any other Couj»h Mixture m the market. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE: Is 6d «-» 2s 6d Chemists and Stores.

A VIOTIM OF Functional Disease. A|_ vlim NEVER fails any one m X**_.l-IXUIII 6Uc h a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m 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 afflioted with cons bipa tion have testi* fied not only to its immediate relieving Sropertiea but to the faot that the oure lasts. [o care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenienoe m its aotion. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonio, 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 OURESI Biliousness, Bilious Head*che,"JDizzinesß, Costiveness, Sour Stomaoh, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition. NOTE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- mentor weakness the><^ *ni 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 cauBOB thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m nsed 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 at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of theße 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 theße two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite ia satisfied it acts directly on the Btomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The syßtem 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 Bense and cannot be gainsaid.
