ANOTHER PILOT BALLOON.
Suggested Office for Mr Seddon
Wellington, Tins Day. An article, bearing inspiration on its face, appears in the Government organ this morning, pari passu with the announcement of Mr Seddon's appointment to the King's Privy Council, suggesting that Mr Seddon, or Sir J. Forrest, Mr Seddon for preference, as a man to take over the administration of the conquered territories in South Africa. The writer, who calls himself "Imperialist," says : "In all the qualities of sturdiness, shrewdness, and management, and of men who care for the rights of all, with a practical acquaintance with the art of government, the two men arc equal, as they are in the characteristic of mental power; but of the two, the New Zealander is the superior, as possessing more initiative, and greater mental resource, and is decidedly sounder in Democratic instinct. Of the men the Empire holds, he is at present the fittest for the important work of wolding the conquered States in South Africa into the the British Empire, that has sacrificed so much to possess them. Mr Seddon has recently stated his preference for New Zealand over every other country. His health, moreover, has not been all that might have been wished for, but the factremains that the nearer the Governor of the conquered territories approaches the typo which tho New Zealand Premier best represents, the better it wiil be for the people concerned. At all events to offer him such a position would inaugurate the best system that has bet boon advocated in selecting the Sovereign's representatives in the Crown's great dependence."
There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that hese crude oils may not be taken for our pur'olatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us thiough the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported toby Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clincs at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen 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 Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authoriti«, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tl ?se crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:
1. By their deficiency in pungent odo (which our product, the only genuine Eusa lypti Extract, develops most freely througn ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced 'to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. t
If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthoria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety's sake ask always or Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract.— Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.—SANDEß & SONS.
