Next day as he did not appear his family became anxious, and a party then searched the riverbed, sad found Mr MiddloLon in about 18 inchea of wator, with a large wound on the forehead, life being quite extinct. At the icqaeht a verdict was returned that deceased met his death by the kick from a horse, there b^iag evidence to show that, although found in the river, death had ensued from a blow oa the head. The fording at the particular plaoe where Mr Middl«ton crossed was quite good, and it is supposed that the horse that he was leading dragged him off the other,, kicking him immediately he reached the ground, and inflicting the wound on the forehead

Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-Genera I for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Oiinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract .n the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not bo taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPT j EXTRACT, which is recognised by the siedical division of the Prussian Qovornmen to be of perfectly pure origin, *s pc infor nation forwarded to us through th Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w fcate:— It is proved by tests by the Medical Client of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sobulz,Prof«sor of Parmaeology, at Bop, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director ef the Medical Clinic* at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed of »oids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the pl*n, All crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, Among the turpenrinet, whish ire abandoned long since as an intern»\ medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product^ the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. j 2 By their alcoholic ihin and mobile appear-' ance being reduced in specific density through tne presenoe af acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatee. if these crude oils, so-c .led eucalypti extracts, aro applied by mista :e in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflarnations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
