A VICTIM OF Functional Disease, A1 ow , m »JJJVER fails any one in XTLiaXUm 6ac h a predicament. To eufferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it in " A friend ia need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxtjm, and you will avoid a multitude ot distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Ai<axcm ia the beat. It* secondary effects are marvellous. Many perjons afflicted with constipation have teati« fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure UuU. 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 onoe a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public In a popular form. ■• ALAXUM OTBBS Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Diuinesi Costiveness, Sour Stomaoh, Loss o Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS WJEJL.I*— The whole system of a human being may be "perfectly souhd, and yet ..^rongb derange* ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform chair fuuctious or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of i appetite, and a consequent general irapover ! iahment of the whole being. Such a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they arc really only in need of a remedy to sco the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities in » 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 become! a power with incalculable good. A&AXITX is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It ia a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, Hvrr und kidneys, clearing away all effete matter mid exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the prrper assimila tion of the food; and where there ie no , organic disease health must follow. TMi i ia common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good.' It may be bethr-~for the dealer—hecAinttt of its better profit, buc in such an instance the dealer ia [ not the one who needs help. ! FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE KEEPERS, PRICE 2s 60 CONUNDRUM. TX7HT IS BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg ?—Because it .is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum, There is no Cough Medicine like it. In troduced into Canterbury only last winter ' its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold in a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It ie not a catchpenny Quack Medicines It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; It contains the same Ingredients as Friars 1 Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe in the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing cuts and woundß. Bpencer Vincent's Oenjamin Gum is a Compound of this Baham, 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 not heal them at 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 outs. Coughs disappear with thi inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a oiewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine as much as any other Cough Mixture in the market. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is Dd and as Dj Chemists and Stores.
