SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.

According to report of a great number of physicians of the highest professional standing, there are offered Eucalypti Extracts which possess no curative properties. In protection of the world-wide fame of Sander and Sons' preparation, we publish a few extracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products—Dr. W. B. Rush. Oaklond, Via., writes: "It is sometimes difficult to obtain the erenuine article (Sander and Sons'). I employed different other •preparations; they had no effect." Dr. H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon* says: "Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons') I use no other form of Eucalyptus, as I think it ig by far the best." Dr. L. P. Preston, Lynchburg, Va., writes: "I never used any preparation other than Sander and Sons', as I found the others to be almost useless." Dr. J. T. Cormel, Kansas City, Kansas, says: "Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist." Dr. H. H. Hart, New 'York, says: "It goes without saying .that Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market." Dr. James Reekie, Fairview, N.M.: "So wide is the range of applications of Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever I go. I find it useful in diarrhoea, ' •11 throat affections, bronchitis, etc.."

When in 1857 Dr. (now Sir James) Hector—who is retiring from the ' position of the Director of the Colonial Museum at the end of July—went with ; the expedition tor explore, North-west Canada, he met in the maa-of-war which' ■ took tihe party out x a young lieutenant who had every hope of a naval career before 1 him. Hector, then an almost untried man,/i ! rose rapidly and gained in science some of the highest distinction® the scientific world * - could offer him. The lieutenant is—or ■ was until lately—an ordinary hand in a ' northern sawmill. The Westland s war and Coronation me- " morial at Hokitika was unveiled by Mrs Sedd'on yesterday afternoon, in nperfect weather. The Premier and General Bab- * ington and staff, lihe.Wesfc Coast Battalion of Volunteers, Cadets, and returned troopers were present. There was a- record assemblage, including upwards of 3000 travelling by train from the North. . The , Premier, Mayor, Mr Guinness, member for , Grey, the Hon. Holnees, and General Babington delivered addresses. The memorial is greatly admired. It is <a clock tower, 1 with chiming bells. Mr Seddon said he 1 . hoped to see similar mementos throughout the. colony. • According to news by the 'Frisco mail, 6 a despatch from London, dated May 10, 1 says King Edward intends to take aavan- ' tage of his extreme pqpalarity throughout 1 the country and ask Parliament to :n----1 crease his allowance by £30,000 a year, making the total half a million. The King, just now, is undoubtedly the most influential man in his own dominions. The Continental tour was marked by such tact and -ability that he has not only obliterated * the; consequence of. the Government's blundering foreign policy, but placed England's relations at amity with France, not equal- ! led for a hundred, years. The King is also given credit for the improved relations with Ireland. The directors of the Christchurch Meat. Company have invited its shareholders and, supporters to inspect the extension works i and installation of electric generator and1 i motors for distribution of power among various subsidiary bye-product factories. The generator has a capacity of 100 kilowatt, and supplies 16 motors —one 16, four 12. seven 6, and four 3-h.p. motors. The wiring totals two and a half miles. The whole works are lighted by electricity from a larger generator, and an engine is being imported.. The works are now able ;'• to deal with 6000 carcases a day. There is storage for 100,000. Formerly the stores were none too large, and now, thanks to the improvement of --c harbour and1 more frequent visits of meat steamers, the stores are never congested. The works are the second largest in-the colony, and a little adiditiona.l expenditure will make them the largest in Australasia. It is claimed to ' be one of the most comipilete and up-to-date in the Australasian! colonies.
