Lambs and crossbred ewes were slightly easier, but a fair clearance wai made by the various salesmen.

" A. I I • CONUNDRUM. J i TTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a < Hard-boiled Egg?— BeoauEe it ia HARD TO BEAT THAT preoiaoly expreßseß the opinion of all who have üßed Benjamin Gum. There ia no Cough Medicine like it. In* troduoed into Canterbury only last winter ita 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. Ib is not a catchpenny Quack Medioine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the name Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friara of Europe m the daya of old. Friarß' Balßam has been used for six hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special prooesa for internal use. Are you troubled with your Cheat? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them ab once. It must be naed for some time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. I Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid.

Spencer Vincent, CHEMIST, OHRISTCELUROH, PROPRIETOR. A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Alum NEVER fails any one m JTI.IciXU.III 6UC h a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend ia Deed 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 persona 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. Ib 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 medioine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular 1 form. ALAXUM CORBS Biliousness, Bilioug 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 |>YBtem of nutrition, I NOTE THIS WJEJLJLu— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the i i\ 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 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, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which oombines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first aotion 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- IbjoH of the food ; and where there is no orcanio disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. A -cepfc no substitute that may be recom- ■nended to be "just as good.' It may be better— for the dealer— because of its better profit, but m Buch an instsnoe thodealer is aot the one who needs help.
