A FAREWELL.

The following verses were written by "A T.T." third mate of the Knight Templar when the Third Contingent disembarked at East London. A copy was tent to his parents in Timaru by Bugler Straohs>n :— THE KNIGHT TEMPLARS JTAKIWHJ, TO IHB NSW ZEALAND ROUGH RIDBRS. We'll soon bo parting shipmates, You to the front will go, To guard old England'n honour, And crush our Boorish foe. Where'er the fight is thickest, May your battle-cry resound, Avenge your fallen comrades, Ado make your name renowned, Wherever we are roaming, ! Be it by land or sea, Our thoughts will always follow j With you our hearts will be. : Farewell, our Third Contingent! ' With brave hearts such us you, ' Be all the world against her, ! " England will see it through !" 1 The God of Battle holds you j In the hollow of his hand, | May he as victors guide you, Back to the dear Homeland.

SAIVJ3EJLC Sc Horn ISuea, lypti .Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of Hit Majesty the King ofltaly, as per oomnumioa fcion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medioal Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the markets, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Governmer.' bo be of perfectly pure origin, as j;er information forwarded to na through the) Consul at Melbourne, March 2,1878, ~se . tate:— , It Is proved by teats by the Medioal Client of the Universities at Bonn and Greifsw&ld Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohute, Profee tor , i Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Ore Mossier, Director pf the Medioal Clinics as Greifswald, that only products that aro saturated with oxygen aid freed of acide resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan Allorude oils, or bo called Euoalypti Extract are to be classed according to the named authorities, Among the turpenomet, whish \r« abandoned long since, as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— ---1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eooalyptl Extract develops most freely ! through its surplus oxygen, 2 By their alooholio thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through toe presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting 1 tendency of resins and tennates. if these crude oils, bo-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal i animations, dysentery, etc., the oon- Eequonces are most appalling. For safety sike ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia, SANDEH & SONS.
