These crude oils, or bo oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our producr, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. \ By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m Bpeoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the resnlt of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.

To Spencer Vincent, Christchurch. Dear Sir, — For Borne time past I have lieen suffering from a moßt painful cough. I hud quite given up hope of its ever leaviug me, at least or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had become chronic, seeing th-.t other remedies failed to give me lelief, much less cure. The pain became so incense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I procured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may say that I hadu'b an atom of faith m its curative properties, bub felt that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of firsb bottle very freely, and am thankful to say m less than twelve hours I was wholly free from cough. E. VV. Sears. P.S— Nearly three montha since cough



A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, Alaviim W'VER fails any one m /XlaAUlil such a predicarm nt. 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 funotional derangements an'l 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 oure 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 tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a^ popular form. ALAXUM OUBEB Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Coßtiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all funotional derangements of the of nutrition, [j NOTE THIS WELL,— 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 causeß 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 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. Alaxum 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 proper assimila tioa of the food ; and where there is no organic diseaeo health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' It may bo better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instance tho dealer is not the one who needs help.
