SANOEJWL & fc*ons JEiictv- lyj>ti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His (Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion 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 market, products of simple 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 divisien of the Prussian Government. be of perfestly pure origin, as par forwarded to us through the Couanl at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tute :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.ProfeßSor f Purmocology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Gieifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of r6ainous and other sub&t&ncos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the •iKCfitive qualities proper to the plant \llcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentiuer, which ire abandoned long Biuce aa &n ntomul articament. These crude oil 9, or 90 called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : I By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By theirtaste, 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 nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences aro most appalling.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER !< Restored to Health by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A Grateful Husband and Father tells the Story: "My wife has all her life long been subject to rush of blood to the head and fainting fits. In later years these were more frequent, and her skin became very sallow. She had scarcely any appetite, and it was - not safe to leave her at home by herself for fear of a fainting fit. I may state we had medical advice both m England and here m New Zealand, but it did no good, so some months back I suggested that she take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. She protested against it,.believing it to be quackery, but I purchased a bottle just to give it a trial, and the result was mar- vellous Mrs. Moul has taken five bottles, and now she is a new creature. My daughter has also begun to use your sarsaparilla for skin discoloration and poor appetite, with considerable success already. I forward you their photo by this mail, and you can make what use you think proper of this statement. Yours gratefully, John F. Moul, Ty-Coed, Swanson, Auckland, 2*. Z., Feb. 0, 1897. p. S.
