" \ report comes from the district of Wiigunyah, N.-.W., of a i-ettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking or their evening nuul. In searching for the cause,* sus picion fell on'the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin in use was analysed aud found to contain strong traces of uitiriutic uriii, the presence of which is caused by tho use of spirits of sa ts in welding tho parts of tin together. '1 he analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its vei'y absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, anil advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. Thisstjlc of pa kf t is quite impervious to the air, a»d tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years." jJOTK.—KOZIE TEA is packed iv lead \yitU h» nsida liuiag gi Yugstablo Parchment,

To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, BilioHsneas and Constipation it is "A friend in 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 ing the energy Alaxpm is the best. Its | secondary effects are marvellous. Many ; persons afflicted with constipation have testi fied not only to its immediate relieving proper ties bat to the fact that fche care lasts.. |No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or oceu i pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action, Ifc is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press aa the most valuable medicine that haß ever beon offered to to the publio in a popular form. ALAXUM CUEES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness Costivenesa, Sour Stomach, Loss i: i Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE XJEIiS WJEJL.L.- ■ 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 their functions or their work sluggishly, thus givifig 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 j really only in need of a remedy to sco tho 1 organs of the body working harmonioaaly. I Reason points to two essential qualities in a remedy for this purpose. It must create I an appetite for food, and at the same time ! aissimilate its nutriment. With either of | these qualities alone the remedy would be I worse than useless, but with both it becomes ! a power with incalculable good. Alaxum ia 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 ia 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, but in such an instance the dealer it not the one who needs help.
