DISCIPLINE FOR THE SOLDIER.

At the reception of Taranaki troopers at New Plymouth Lieutenant-Colonel Davies said: " Don't let anyone get the idea that because irregular troops have done well in South Africa they are perfect soldiers. Theyare]not. The English soldier is the finest in "the world, but he is recruited from the streets, and never has had to think for himself. He has always been within hail of a polieeman who can tell him where he wants to go, and tell him the time, whereas our men from their earliest years have had to think for themselves, and have had duties and responsibilities which have made them self-reliant. This is why they can be turned loose te fight the Boers in their own way, and make a success of it. People argued from Africa that drill and discipline take the individuality out of soldier. They were wrong; the individuality was not there to begin with. Put drill and discipline on top of our men's thinking, and j'ou would get finer soldiers than the world had ever yet seen."

It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Grief awald (Prussia)i and reported toby Dr Scmiltz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Olincs 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 is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. Tt C3e crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: 1. By their defioienoy in pungent odo (which our product, the only genuine Euca 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. If these crude oils, or so-called_ Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistako in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthcria, internal inflammation, dysentry, etc., tha consequences are most appalling. For safety's sake ask always or Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.—SANDEß & .SONS.
