Dear Sir, — For some time past I have been Buffering from a most painful oough. J had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at least or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had become ohronio, seeing thnt other remedies failed to give me relief, much less oure. The pain became tp jn tense that I was afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I prooared one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may Bay 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 firat bottle very freely, md am thankful to say m less than twelve aours I was wholly free from oough. E. W. Scabs. P. o. —Nearly three months aingo bough



A VICTIM OF N Functional Disease. Ainvnm N E VER f aila an y ona m C—ldAUlli 6Uc h « predicament. To ufferers from Siok Headache, Dyspepsia, 3iliousneßß and Constipation it is " A friend n need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature ay AiiAXUM, and you will avoid a multitude }f distressing functional derangements and iiseaseß. Of all known medicines for renew- LDg 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 faot that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produoes no inoonvenienoe m ita 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 OTRES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomaoh, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia^ Flatulence, Heartburn, > Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the ; system of nutrition. NOTE THIS WELL.,— 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 their functions or their work sluggishly, 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 same time assimilate its .nutriment. With either oj these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, 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. Aftei the appetite is satisfied it acts directly 01 the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them t< activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is n< organic disease health must follow. Thii is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that maybe recom mended to bo "just as good.' It may bi better — for the dealer — because of its bettei profit, but m such an instance the dealer i not the one^who needs help.

SANDEw Jc »o_«s Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion 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 m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAL\ PTI EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we ttate :— It iB proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prußßia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are Baturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, whioh are abandoned long since 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 Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through ita Burplus 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 term a tea. 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 are mosb appalling.
