__— _— _mm 4 — < Stud Notices THE PUREBRED CLYDLSDALE STALLION, Kin%- of Quality, WILL STAND at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and Travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Ashborton Forks, and Wester- field Diatriots. Will be at Newmans Stables every Saturday. King of Qfalitv is a dapple bay, rising six years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with mary points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid f eeb and pasterns, also great bone, clean -and flowing, with nice silky hair — the true badge 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 Argyle (2567 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673. vol I), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-ye*»r-old, firsb at Dunedin In 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro' geny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, NZSB), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown In New Zealand four times, gaining firsb and champion npon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SO S B), grand sire Ivanhoe lab (imported ; 113, NZSB). He was gob by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's Bire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the besb horaea ever la; ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Quern of Quality, (608, NZSB) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details j suffice ib to say, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare ab the Exhibition show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of nnusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri show and second ab Dunedin. it will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydes* dale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a Bire. Has proved himself In this district as a sure foal getter. Terms : — Guarantee —£4 4s. Season mares, £3 3s. Groomage fee, sa. All mares changing hand?, first owners held responsible. Good grass paddocks at owner's farm, as per arrangements. All oare taken, bnt no responsibility. GEORGE GRIOE, 9 192 Proprietor, Willowby. I THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE COLT, Middlerigg Prince.

I Under the distinguished patronage of His \ Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- , tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs j bhrongh the Consul-General for Italy, ab I .Melbourne, March 1.4, 1878. Awarded I diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. j Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and ( Universities all over bhe Globe. j There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract J i 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 nedicai division of the PrussianGovernmenfc oe of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, I'rUbsia, aad reported by Dr. Schulz.Profeßsor 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 eubsbanooa, 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 Bince as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only /genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the presenoe of acids. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the oon- sequences are most appalling.
