Undor the distinguished patronaj. c of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, as per con munica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-Geaeral for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinici and Universities ail over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract "J *he. market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In ?SS 1^ 86 crude oils mRy n°t be taken, ££L?H£ E VO^ATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to ue through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878. we state :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinic* of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, I, russia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz,Profes*or ofParmacology,atßon, *nd Professor Bit Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at bxeifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed ©f acid?, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope tU 'a l °»tlT« qualities proper to the phut All crude oils, or so callod Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinee, which are abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* ance being reduced m specific density through the prttsence of acids. 3 By theii taste, the result of the contracting tendency of rrane and tennatee. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of iroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal unamations, dysentery, etc., the con icquencea are most appalling.

NO CAUSE TO WORRY. Still She Was a Trifle Anxious About Things In Howell. There was a motherly old lady Bitting In tlie midst of her bundles at the Third Street depot yesterday, when a man with a grip sat down beside her and began to read a newspaper. She eyed him pretty sharply for a few minutes and then inquired: "Any great news m the papers today?" 1 ''Nothing very extraordinary,'' he replied, "See anything m there from HowellP" "Not yet." "I'm from Howell, or purty near there. ißin down here visitin my sister. Haven't been here but two weeks, but it seems a hull year. Only got one letter from Joseph, »nd about all he said m that was that he took his pen m hand to inform me that he was well and hoped these few lines would find me the same, which they did. I'm a little worried. Don't find any item there about a house or barn burning up neai Howell?" "No, ma'am." "Joseph was breaking a colt when I came away. Don't see anything about a farmei gittin his neck broke or being kicked to death?" "Nothing of the sort, ma'am." "Anything about any one fallin down a well or off a haymow?" "No, ma'am." "Joseph is awful reckless, but mebbehe'a got through all right. Anything about a mad dog bitin anybody, or a gun bustln and blowin a man's head off while he was Bhootin at a hawk?" "Nothing whatever. I think you will get home to find everything all right." "I hope so, but two weeks is a long time to be away, and I'm naturally given to worry more or less. I expect the pigs have got out of the pen two or three times, and I suppose the colts have broken out again, and Joseph has left the cellar door open ev ery night, but if it's no worse I shall be a , thankfu 1 woman." "Here is an item about a farmer running away with the hired girl while his wife was absent," said the mat} as he turned the paper. "Do tell! Waal, that don't skeer me any. I didn't leave no hired girl there, and Jo seph is so awfully homely that even the sheep dodge him. Much obleeged to you. I expect to find things a little topsyturvy, but I euess there ain't no call to worry. r Rapid. There are some books which require par* ticular attention from the reader, but there is a young man m a New England city who, to judge from his own statements, finds nothing to check the speed with which he reads, even m the most difficult books. j "Everything is easy reading to me," he remarked cheerfully to a friend. "Now, people call 'Euclid's Elements' a hard book. I've heard 'em say so. But I don't. I read it through from beginning to end, sir, yes terday m a piece of the afternoon between dinner and supper." "Read all Euclid m one afternoon!" ex claimed his friend. "How was that possi ble?" "Upon my honor, I did it," returned the young man, with a broad smile of self sat isfaction, "and I never read smoother read ing m my life." "Did you master all the demonstrations and solve all the problems as you went?" inquired the other, with natural incredulity. "Demonstrations and problems?" queried the young man. "Oh, I suppose you mean the a's and bs and c's and l's and 2's and the pictures of scratches and scrawls. No, I skipped all those. I read JttstiEuclid him self, and I read all of him m one piece of the afternoon tool"' " Imperative. It was m the conservatory. At last he had the chance of a tete-a-tete with the fair one who had enslaved him. She seemed rather cold, but of course that might be due to the cooler atmosphere after the warmth of the ballroom. This is how he attempted to break the ice, "I suppose you are extremely fond of dancing, Miss Trip toe?" "Well, not passionately. I sometimes prefer 'sitting out,' especially with an in teresting partner." Then the baud struck up again. "Let me see—l have you down for this waltz, I think. Shall we miss it?" "Oh, dear, nol Not on any account!" And somehow Ue didn't seem to half en joy that dance. v " , .— ../aw- -— * The Proper Thing. Mother—How are you and Mr. Caller get ting along? Has he proposed yet? Daughter—No. He is just like this corn we are preparing for the Christmas tree. Mother —How so? Daughter—Don't pop easily. Metkeiv~<£l*en I'd shake him.—» » „ Stuffing a Visitor. "When that man came to Chicago, slr.tie couldn't write his name. And now he*B worth millions." "I suppese he has learned to write by this time?" "Write? That man, sir, wields ftie finest cattle pen m Chicago."- " ""*_•*--' ' A Cold Bide. She—Did you put the hot water bottle m the sleigh under the Boston girl's feet? He—Oh, yes, and when_we got back the Water was frozen solid Gratis. She—Mr. Rambler la awfully good to inc. toads me flowers every day He—Yes. He is living with his uncle now.
