A. CONUNDRUM. XTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?— Becauee it" is HARD TO BEAT THAT preoieely expreeseß the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There ie no Cough Medicine like it. In- troduced into Canterbury only last winter its success waa immediate. Thousands of bottles were oold ia a, few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It ia not a catchpenny Quack Medioine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as Fbiabs' Balaam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been uaed for six hundred years for healing outs and wounds. Hpenoer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a speoial process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Cheat? BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing oases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the throat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals outs. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them, ■BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gam, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much as any other Cough Mixture injlthe market. Ibis the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d and gs 6d Chemists and Stores.

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils, to 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 be of perfeotly pare origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate: — It ib proved by tests by the Medioal Clinioa of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor i Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Direotor of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that aie ■aturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the tanatlve qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extracts are to be olaaaed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since as an nternal udioament. These orude oils, or so oalled Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their defloienoy m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin .and mobile appear, anoe being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resjns and tennateß. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are moßt appalling.
