FAVOURABLE IMPRESSIONS OF NEW ZEALAND.
Opinions of Yictorian Legislators
The Hon. Messrs McGregor and Travernor (Victoria) have been giving their impressions on the colony. Mr McGregor said he and his fellow travellors had been struck with the prosperity and natural resources of the colony. His own opinion was that the possibilities of the colony were very great, with its gold, coal, and. other natural wealth—more especially on account of tho superabundance of coal They had visited a number of factories and other centres of industries, including the dairy factories. The latter, so far as bo could judge, were equal, but not superior, to the Victorian dairy factories. " I also visited, " Mr McGregor said, " some of the State schools. I was very pleased with what I saw there. The object lessons given in them are an improvement on what is done in our schools. Tho gymnasiums attached to the schools also impressed me. In that respect your schools are ahead of ours. The position of teachers in Now Zealand, however, does not seem to bo so secure as those in Australia. The pension system used to exist there, but now, instead we have compulsory insurance." Mr McGregor expressed the opinion that it was inevitable that New Zealand would federate!
'•I have been through Switzerland, Mr Taverner observed in t"ie course of some remarks concerning New Zealand scenery, "and I thick there is nothing there to equal New Zealand, with rivers, lakes, forests, mountains and harbours. I call this the Australian Switzerland, and with a fast line of boats between the Commouwealth of Australia and your country, you should develop an enormous tourist traffic. Why, people go Home to see what does not equal what may bo seen hero at the doors!"
SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT- —Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication ma-le by tho Minister forfForeign Affairs, through the Con3ul-General or Italy at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe.
There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile 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 through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtate:—
It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossitr, 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 js, among the turpentines, which are. abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tl €se crude oil, or so-callßd Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:—
1. By their deficiency in pungent oda (which our product, the only genuine Euaa lypti Extract, develops most freely througn ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile appearance, being reduced to specifio density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, 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.
