Fat Lambs.—Just upon 5000 fab lambs were in, including Beveral good lines.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. A],. vnm NEVER fails any one in rVIdXUIU snch a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headaohe, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is " A friend in need and a friend indeed. 1' 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 Alaxum is the best* Iti secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi ! Bed not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the care lattt. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu pation, and produces no inconvenience in its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press aa the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public in a popular form, ALAXUM ««■ Biliousness, Bilious Headaohe, Diainess Oostiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress After Eating, and alt functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS WELL- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly stmnd t and yet through- derange ment or weakness the organs of the body may perform their 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 ar« really only in need of a remedy to ses tho organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in 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. Alaxvk 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 prcper 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 maybe recom mended to be "just as good.' It may be better—for the dealer —because of its better profit, but in Buch an instsnoe the dealer it not the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE-, KEEPERS, PRICE 2 S 60 A. CONUNDRUM. TT^HY IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?—Beoauee it is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There is no Cough Medicine like it.

Thousands of bottles were sold in a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the. proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medicines It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; 16 contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe in the days of old.

Hpencer Vincent's Benjamin Gum is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a special] process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest! BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will nob heal them afc once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly In old-standing cases. Have you a Cold in the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the threat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with thl inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is nob a ohewing gam, but a very palatable liquid.

EDWARD SAUNDERS, LOCAL AGENT. 11 116 POISONED! " A report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.s.W., of a tettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of their evening meal. 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 and found to contain strong traces of muriatic arid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of sa ts in welding the parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing ' to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, and tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'

These crude oils, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: i By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
