Influenza. — Now this epidemic is becoming prevalent we strongly recommend the free use of Platypus Brand of Eucalyptus Globulus Extract, taken upon sugar or in milk. The most pleasant way to tako Eucalyptus is in the Platypus .Brand of Eucalyptus Jujubes. They are in such a portable form, pleasant to taste, antiseptic and stimulant. ' Sprinkle the oil 'upon handkerchief and about the rooms. Caution. — The travelling drapery and merchandise stock company are on the war path, and will in the course of its travels visit Oxford with the usua flourish of trumpets " without reserve, every thing must go, &c, &c." By a curious coincidence these commercial philanthropists select-ihis season of the year, just after harvest, for visiting this district, when the jarmers wives may have a little ready money at their disposal. Let us nope that the farmers wives will not be victimized to the same extent as on the previous occas-^ ion, when they were lead to purchase goods at a very high price that turned out valueless rubbish. Shoddy Cloth " Gentlemen." — We hear that the shoddy cloth gentlmen are scouring the district;' So we should remind people to be on their guard, anJ^be ready with a big pair of boots.
