There are natations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple eisatillation, forming crude resinous, oils. In order that these crude oils may not bo taken for our Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per in formation forwarded to us through tne Consul at Melbourne, 2nd Maroh 1878, we state : — It ia proved by testa made by oue Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bond at <Jroif3\vald (Prussia), and reported by Dr Shulz, Professor of Pharmacology, J. Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald that only products that are saturated with oxygon and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extract are to be classed according to the came authorities among the turpentines which are of insignificant medical value, and abandoned long since as an intornamedicament. These crude oils, or so-callod Eucalypti Extracts, are descernible — ■.By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2 By thair alcoholic, tliin and morbid appearance being; reduced in special deneity through the presence of acids.

At the University College Council, nt Auckland on Monday last, referred to in a telegram yesterday it wbe the question of his dismissal that was deferred till next meeting. On the motion of Mr E. Heeketh, seconded by Sir G. M. O'Rorke, the following resolution was carried:— " That this Council views with great diefavour the nature and tone of the correspondence which has lately been inserted in the Auckland press by Professor Aldiß in reference to his services bein? dispensed with by the Council, and is strongly of opinion that it was undignified, and should not have been made." Acomraorcial return has just bean issued showing tbe average retail price per pound avoirdupois of various articles of domestic consumption, medium qualities, in some of the principal citibs of Europe, during last year. The cities selected are Paris, Lille, Berlin, Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Hamburg, Vienna, Budapesth, Prague, Some, Florence and Brussels. The prices of prime beef varied very much. In Prague it could be obtained for 7d a pound, in Vienna for Bd, in Eome and Budapesth foi Bid, while in Paris the price fluctuated between Is and Is 4d, and in Lille as much as Is s|d had to Le paid. JFlour ranged from Id l-10d in Budapesth 10 2|din Paris, Frankfort, and Florence. If; is curious to notice that, while in iiille flour could be purchased foi 2J- a Ib, and white household bread cost 1 Jd, in Berlin this was exactly reversed, bread costiDg 2Jd and flour being cheapor. Potatoes were under Id a lb, in all the cities except Hamburg. Rice ranged from 1$ (in Brussels) to 5d j sugar, " good white lump, cracked or sawed," from 3}d to 7Jd (in Eoma and Florence) ; and coffee (Brazil or plantation, loasted and ground without chicory or other coffee substitute), from Is 4}d in Berlin to 23 6<3 (fresh roasted) in Paris. In Brussels coffee from the Dutch Colonies can be obtained for Is2jda pound. Ministers are not happy over the Cheviot estate. Io is becoming more and more evident that the purchase was a blunder. The fact that the sailers were as much delighted as the buyers was suspicious, though the latter still protest, though perhaps not so strongly as at first, that they have got a bargain. But the gilt is already off the gingerbread. It was never intended that such a large acreage should be bought under the Assessment Act, nor was it ever intended that the Government should engage in land-dealing. Now that they have to dißpose of their purchase they find difficulties accumulating, while the prospect of a profit on the transaction vanishes. The romance is all gone, and even Government supporters turn up their noses at the stern reality. To landnationalisers like Mr Earnshaw the proposed method of disposing of the estate is especially objectionable. They are chagrined to think that a Government who talked so grandly about preserving the people's patrimony should have degenerated into land brokers. Altogether, Ministers must wish they had never hoard of Cheviot. It will at least bo long before they hear the end of it. — Otago Daily Times, Wanganui, March 17th, 1893. Mr Nosworthy .Herbalist &c, DaarSir — Concorning the morits of your Pulmonary Balsam. I make this statomot, in the hopo that it might be the means of inducing many sufferers from Lung Complaint to try it, feeling sure that it will give them entira satisfaction as it did me when I procured it for my child— namely, that two bottles cured her of what all the doctors in Wangauui had pronounced to be a decidnd case of consumption. There is no doubt the child had all the symptoms of what people consider as consumpton, and I am pleased to say the two bottles of your remedy has made a different child of, her iv hor health. She is now 10 years of age and is doing well, for which I have to thank you for your pulmonary Balsam,— Mas C. Joy.
