A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Alavnm N&VER fails any one m -tVidAUlll such a p re dj cair , a t. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is #l A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- iug the energy Alaxum is the best. Itß 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 produces no inconvenience 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 CURBS Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomaob, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition, j 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 cheir 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 of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxdm is the only medicine which combines these j two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and ita firat action is to create hunger. After the appetite 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- I tion and new life from the proper assimila i tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. Thiß is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " junti as good.' It may be better— for the dealer— because 'of its better profit, but m auch an instance the^dealer* is I not the one B who needs help. j \ FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- KEEPERS, PRICE 2s 6o THEJFIRST SIGN OF A COLD HShould remind you that the best time to commence taking something is at the begin- ning.

Dear Sir, — For some time past I have aen suffering from a most painful cough. I id quite given up hope of its ever leaving c, at least or the remainder of the winter, id feared that it had beoome chronio, eing that other remedies failed to give me lief, muoh less oure. The pain became so tense that I was afraid of injuring my roafc and head, especially the latter.

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By' their deficiency m pungent odour — which our prodaor., the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygeu. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates. 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.
