He m a colt of great substance Hud power, with mary points to recoin mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feeb and pasterna, also great bono, clean and flowing, with n ? ce eilky hair—the true b*dge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Areyle (2557 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673. vol i), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i).

He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded m New Zealand.

lypti ifixtrant. 1 Under the distinguished patronage of His ; Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ' ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs j through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded j diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over tho 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, division of the Prussian Government j be of perfectly pure origin, as per ! nformation forwarded to ub through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2 1878, we ! tate; — It is proved by teats by the Medical Clinics of the Universities &t Bonn and Greitsvvald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, 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 Bubstancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the .anative qualities proper to the plant \U crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned Ions? since as an nternal adicamant-. 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 m cases of croup, bronohitia, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
