In* troduced into Canterbury only laat winter its success waß immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few monthß, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Qaack Medicine. It 18 made by a fully qualified Chemiat, 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 dayß of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balaam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are yon troubled with your Cheßt? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be ÜBed for some time, and used regularly ia old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages oi the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cute. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as muoh asany other Couejh Mixture m the market. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d a™ 2s &i> Chemists and Stores.

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.

ALAXUM CUHES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveneas, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion Dyspepßia, Flatulence, Heartburn Painß and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the Byatem of nutrition \ NOTE THIS W-ELJLu— The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the > \ of the boay may perform their functions or their work Bluggishly, 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 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 Bame time assimilate ita nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxtjm is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetit-3 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 prcper assimila- tion of the food ; and where there is no ! organic disease 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 be betUr— for the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instance the/lealer is not the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- KEEPERS, i PRICE 2s 6p

Under tho distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, as per commuiuca- •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 Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extraot the morket, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude of la may not be taken, OUR PURI VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, ~<rhich is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor f Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adioament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 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 their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
