j J A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Ai^vnm NKVER fails anyone m r_lctAUlll &ucn a predicampnt. Tv Eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a Mend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude ot distressing functional derangements an<i diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effectß are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact 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 aotion. 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 cuiies Biliousness, Bilious Headnche, Dizziness, Ooßtiveneßs, Sour Stomach, Loas of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. J NOTE TJSLIS 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. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first 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- tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be " just as good.' It may be better — for the dealer — because of its better profit, buc m such an instsnee tho,dealer, ia not the one^who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- KEEPERS, THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Should remind you that the best time to commence taking something is at the begin- ning. It should also remind you that the best remedy to head off a spell of sneezing, coughing and general unpleasantness is Benjamin Gum. I !' " f MEN START AT MY STATEMENTS ABOUT BENJAMIN GUM!

Dear Sir, — For some time past I have een suffering from a most painful cough. I ad quite given up hope of its ever leaving ie, at leaßt or the remainder of the winter, nd feared that it had beoome chronic, Being thut other remedies failed to give me jlief, muoh less cure. The pain became so itenae that I was afraid of injuring my iroat and bead, especially the latter. I rooared one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, id I may say that I hadn't an atom of V ,ith m its curative properties, but felt that must take something to ease the pain. I ;ank contents of first bottle very freely, id am thankful to say m less than twelve mra I waß wholly free irom cough. _„ „ , , E«,^y. Sdabs.

SANDEk Sc tsonts Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hiß Mftjeßty the King of Italy, aB 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 Euoalypti 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 EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pare origin, as per j information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we etate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, andreported by Dr. Pchnlz.Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Profesßor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substances, adherent to ! primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcrude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the tamed authorities, among the turpentines, wbish are abandoned long since as au ntetnal i adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : lgßy their deficiency m pungent odour— which our produce, 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 ciude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of ctoup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal uflamations, dysentery, elc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
