BANK OF NEW ZELAND

United Press Asaooiatirm—By Eleotrio Telegraph Wellington, August 17 The annual meeting of the Bank of New Z3»land w»b held to-day. The chairman, Mr Blair, reviewed the foaknoe sheet at considerable length, and referred to the Increase in the deposits as evidenoo, nob only of the general proßperity of the com munity, bufc alto of the confidence that the community reposes in the bank, aa a custodian of its funds. There was a small decrease under the heading of the other advancer, but come of this shrinking occurred through the gradual ingathering t,t the d»p»ndenoiea of an unsatisfactory or unde: airable oharaoter. The Board made it a rule to pursue generally a oonaßrvatixa policy in regard to advances, carefully selecting new business, and gradually weeding out) what was undesirable. The outlook in regard to the Asset Realisation Board was clearing and the end fairly well ia view. Viewing the situation as a whole, he thought the shareholders were to be congratulated on tha position to which the bank had attained rJ he prospects were distinctly encouraging, and he looked forward to the future hopefully. Me could point to the existence of the silver lining feo the clond thab so lone had ovpr bidowed shareholders, He might) now cafety *ay the dividend paying point was coming within measurable distauce; possibly, in 1902, a dividend will be paid. By the forbearance of the GoverDmant, defioieticies of the Aasete Board could grad u«lh be provided for, aa the surplus backing pr< d 8 will admit, while at the same time shareholders might be earning small divi dends on the second call. The Assets Board appeared to be making good progress with their liquidation, The bulk of South Island estates had been disposed of, and prospects were favourable for the disposal of the North Island properties. Referring to the Kangiora embezzUmenb, the chairman aaid that much might be done by the bank's own customers to prevent such occur ences, by increasing the difficulty of carrying on dishonest practices. There would be fewer defections if the public wouldjexeroise greater cars over their money mutters, and see they got proper acknowledgments from tha bank.

The hearing will last several days Wellington, August 17 A notice appears in the Gazette stating that proclamation was made by the Queen on December 27, warning persons against aid- Ing the South African Dutch Republics in the present hostilities, and against trading with them; and there being reason to believe that some of the terms of this proclamation have been, or may be, infringed in New Zealand, the Governor again draws special attention to the? proclamation, which is of general application to British subjects a1! the world over, and also to foreigners resident in any part of the Queen's domi nions

There are imitations of Euoilyptl Extraot .n the market, products of simple dial illation forming oruiie resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALVPT EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the PrusnianGoveraiiea to be of perfectly pure origin, as pa information forwarded to us through th Consul at Melbourne, March 2. 137), w fcate:—



It is proved by tests by the Medloal Cltan of th« Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohuls.Professor of Parmacoiogy, at Bon, and Profeuor Dre Mossier, Director ef the Medioal Clinics at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated witsk oxygen a. id freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent te primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to tbe plan, All crude oils, or co called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentine*, whish ire abandoned long since as an Internal medicament. These crude oils, or ao called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product* the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through ita surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in speoifki density through tne presence *»f acids. j d By theirtaßte, the result of the contracting tendency of resine aud tennates. if these crude oils, so-c !!ed eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
