All crude ons, or so oajlod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnet, whfoh abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or ao called Kucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— I By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product^ the only genuine Euoalypti Extraot develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tae presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resin* and tennates.

Had no idea Vitadatio could do for her .what it has done. " 10th April, 1899. '" For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion, and what those of our sex know as general weakness in various forms and ways, accompanied by the usual gloomy forebodings and, of course, us I find now, unnecessary cares of mind, producing all kinds of discouraging anticipations, in which the common impression would constantly intrude itself that life waa not the fl-»wery bed of ease that one üßed to read and siug about in one's childhood's hours. My food did not nourish the body, and I carried about with me, much to my discomfort, an emaciated form, and the common remaik of my friends was, « How ill you always look.' Although I would not admit the troth of their opinion, yet my own conßcious feeiing assured me of the truth of their observation. There were many other ailments which kept in check my former vitality and buoyaucy of spiiitst, which need only be hinted at in -<»-~*tuL«u&_as_thia. In this state of general debility I was advised to take a course of Webber's Vitadatio; I took it regularly for about six weeks, aad took, in all, the -sPJi|entß_of six large bottles. These were relief, and I ■began~^'pu'r"OTrirsHß*aJMJift-fat€ of l^lb per week, and I now enjoy the very best ot health. To any- of my own tex, especially those who are troubled with en nui, from whatever cause arising, I verily bel'eve a or'U'Be of Vitadatio will give them back the blessing of good health, such as I enj >y, and for which I desire to be truly thankful Vitadatio shall always have my strong recommendation.—Yours gratefully, M.

'! he proposed Young Men's Club deserve the support of every citizen. And it is hoped that the young men themselves will appreciate the efforts now being made to establish an institution for their own benefit in Asbburton. Ac the youths of our colony become better educated, and elevated to a higher moral plane by such helps and associa tions as the proposed Otub will undoubtedly afford them, they will become more respected - and feetter citizens. They will no longer be found loitering and wastiDg their money in questionable ways, and as " the apparel oft denotes the man" they will become more particular in the choice of their tailors. Messrs Cbatqhead and Bkrkyman are evidently keeping "up to date" as The Leading Tailors and Outfitters of Ashburton. Their immense stock ot new winter goods comprise the newest styles and materals as now worn at Home, and of course their long , established reparation for nt and workman ship need only be pointed out to visitors and strangers who may wish to know where to find the best tailors and to get entire " satis* faction." Ladies also find their orders for tailor made costumes executed by this firm in the latest styles most satisfactory, and at the most reasonable prices. 34 £10,000 A Yeab —How one might play the part of Prince Bountiful on such an income. What comfort and relief one could bring to the poor and to the suffering. And yet, even without money one can do good if one has the will. If I see a fellow-creature suffering from ague, fevers, or disorders of the stomach; or from gout, rheumatics, neuralgia, and the like, I don't need to be a man of wealth in order to show him tbe way to health. If I point out to him the wonder ful efficacy of Hollo way's Pills and Ointment, I have perchanrte done more good by that one thoughtful action than I could have achieved with all the wealth of the Bothe ohilds.
