As showing how important it is that aid to the »gtd and infirm should not' take the shape of THE RELIEF OF charity, we may THE AGED. quote the following from the Wanganui neraliTs report of the last meeting of Wanganui Hospital Boaid, called to discuss a difficulty with the servants there, who had threatened to resign immediately if a gardener, who had been m the Old Men's Home, was to have hia meals with them. The Chair man stated that on receipt of the letter intimating this state of afiii s a meet ing o£ the executive was called, at •which all the members (seven) wt re present, and the letter was laid before them. It was unanimously resolved that unless the servants unreservedly withdrew their threat to resign they Were to be given notice of dismissal. He took the trouble to go to the Old Men's Home and inquire into the character of the old man doing duty as a gardener, and found that be bore an excellent character, j It was decided to ask the matron if i the servants wou'd withdraw their threat to the Board, and the reply given was that the gardener would be allowed to have his meals m the kitchen, but at a different time to the others having their meals there, but that they were very dissatisfied at the Board insisting on his having his meals there. This not being considered satisfactory the servants were dis missed.

SAjNDEJI-ff &, Sons Euca- lypji Extract. i Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- iou made by the Miuister 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 the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order thut 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 perfectly pure origin, as - per d forma lion forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, aud Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other aubstancos, adherent) to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant \llcrude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, which are abandoned long since aa an ntern&l l adicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, 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 presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates. If these crude oils, bo called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal uflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.

A soare m the West-end occurred the other night wh«.n it was tumored that war had been dectared between France and Germany. The possibility of Buch an outbreak created the wildest excitement and alarm.* And uo wonder, for the result would, indeed be fearful. But, alter all, is not a war c quaUy terrible and far more fatal being waged every day m our midst? Every day, m civilised England, men and women are fighting against the countless legions of disease* and often, alas ! they aro ill- equipped for the struggle Let them lay m a stock of Holloway's Pilla. Against such artillery ill-health can make no headway. Giddiness, liver complaints and all impurities of the blood fade away like Matabele before the Maxim gun.— (Advt)
