A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. A 1 a v ii ™ N K VER lails a °y one *. n jnLldA.Ul.ll 6 uch a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend m need and a fiiend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxhm, 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 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. It doea not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inoonvenienoe 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 cDMiS Biliousness, Bilious 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 of nutrition. J NOTE TXIIS WJEL.L,— 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 fcheir functions or their work sluggishly, thua 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 boo 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 oi these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than uselesß, 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 its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidnoys, clearing away all effete matter and exening them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila I ion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and caunot be gainsaid. Acoept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "juat as good.' It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instance (tho.dealer is not the one who needs help.

To Spencer Vincent, Christchurch. Dear Sir, — For Borne time past 'I have been suffering from a moat painful cough. J had quite given up lope of its ever leavii g me, at least or the remainder of the winter, I and feared that it had become chronic, seeing that other remedies fuiled to give me relief, much less cure. The puin became i q intense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I prooared one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, i and I may say that I hadn't an atom of faith m its curative properties, but felt that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of first bottle very freely, and am thankful to say m less than twe've hours I was wholly free irom cough. E. wT Shabb. P. S.— Nearly three months since cough
