Theße crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungenb odour which our product, the only genuino Euoalypti Extract develops mosb freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the prcßenee of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, eto., the con- sequences are moab appalling.

COBEESPONDEITCE. . — ■ — ■♦ (We do not hold ourselves responsib'e for the opinions expressed by oar correspondents; THE PRIOE OF WHEAT. TO THE EDITOB. SIR,— Though the grain s_le m Ashburton on Thursday recorded a rise m the price of wheat some 3d to 4d per bushel, on the Christchuroh-Ashburton quotations early n the week, anyone looking on oould plainly see that the millers had made up their minds beforehand to affect a stolid indifference and abstain from touching the tempting lines of wheat offered. Another thing struck me as barking back to a letter which appeared m your columns abont a week ago, viz , all prime lineß run up to 5s per bushel were passed m. This looked tome very much as though the auctioneer hid no authority to sell, inasmuch as the owners had declined to pub the lines under firm offer at any specified figure. In fact many lineß were enteredto try the market. Thia haa beeu done, and still the growers hold the joker, and all they have to do is hold, as tin millers must come tb their lerms. Where are the thousands of sacks of Victoria., wheat which we were told would be dumper) down at our ports at 4s S_d per bushel, dutj paid? We wore told that there were cargoes secured at this figure for future delivery. lam moro inclined to think, Sir that the yarn I heard a short time a^o, about a few hundred sacks of Victorian wheat being carted round to the various ports, must have been very near the truth, and that the reporb was circulated and held np as a bogey, to induce our hardworking farmers lo sell ab a price, far below the j Fair Mabkm_ Value. COMMERCIAL. . — ♦ tHORSE SAJLE AT OAMARU. In another column wi|l be fcund the ad- vertisement of a most important sale of Clydesdale borate, "the property of Mr Edward Menlove, of Windsor Park, near Oamaru. The sale takes place m Oamaru on Saturday 28th inst., and is to be conducted by Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co., of Dunedin, m conjunction with the New Zea- land Loan and Mercantile Agenoy Company's, Oamaru branch. There are fifteen pedigree fillies and mares, and fifteen colts and geld- ings, to be submitted at the sale, which is to be withont reserve, and bhe name of Mr Menlove as breeder and owner is sufficient assurance m itself that bhe horßes are of very high class. Whether from a breeder's or contractor's point of view, ib would be im- possible to find a better lob of draught mares and gelding's than this draft of Mr Men- love's. They are young, and chiefly bred from mares registered m the New Zealand Clydesdale Stud Book, having for their an- cestors such noted sires aB the greab Prinoe , Charlie (Bong's), considered about the bef- Soottish-bred Clydesdale ever landed '- oolony j Nimmo's Emperor ; * v t^ e etud horse Sir Colin (imp"' „ r„™r,p famed Prince W" " rttA \ v ? t £"J" c British Lion (im- -, '. rted, , ; * 8 f P £ xTmmA Timo. -f (-13° imported) ; £ io*i > ported), British Monarch, t" • -.etc. Several of the mares are . to the champion prize horse Oodric ..,e Saxon.

DEBILITATED BY HOT WEATHER. TIRED OUT ANP ILL. ( Tonics (so-called) do no good, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla builds up and restores to health Mf. J. Qou{h oi Cape Town, Cape Colony, who sends his portrait and writes as follows: . "During the past summer the extremely hot -weather made me seriously ill. I lost all appetite, could not sleep, was incapacitated for work, and suffered from severe pains m the head. I tried several tonics, but they did me no good whatever. A friend, who had been similarly affected, told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, as he had done. I followed his advice, and soon began to regain my strength, and after using three or four bottles my health was completely restored." Very many people suffer from the effects of a prolonged season of warm weather m the same way as did Mr Gough. Their blood becomes thm, food distasteful, and life is positively burdensopae. .#^a J !£^? te * c, ' X - % Ayer's Sarsaparilla makes new, pure blood; restores strength and vitality, and has been the salvation of thousands who, prior to its use, were, as they expressed it, *«both tired out and worn out." ■ See that the name— Ayer's Sarsaparilla— is on the wrapper ;and blown In the glass of each bottle, .^fcu,**^^' < &t*_s&a """* *""' < _xjf-' tag: Prepared by Dr. J. 0.
