A CONUNDRUM. WHY is BENJAMIN GUM like a Hard-boiled Egg I—Because1 — Because it is HARD TO BEAT ! That precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used BENJAMIN GUM. There is no Cough Medicine like it. Introduced into Canterbury only last winter its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold in a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medicine. It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business. It contains the same Ingredients as FRIARS' BALSAM, which was first made by the monks and friars of Europe in the days of old. Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing Cuts and Wounds. SPENCER VINCENT'S BENJAMIN GUM is a Compound of this Balsam, with other ingredients, prepared by a special process for internal use. Are you troubled with your Chest ? BENJAMIN GUM will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly in oldstanding cases. Have you a Cold in the Head or a Harsh Cough?— GEN JAM IN GUM will heal the inflammation of the throat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balaam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with this inflammation which causes them. BENJAMIN GUM is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twice as much as any other Cough Mixture in the market. It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE, Is 6d and 2s Gd, Chemists and Stores. SPENCER VINCENT, CHEMIST, CHRISTCHURCH, PROPRIETOR.
