FACTS ESTABLISHED AT COURT. In an action, the cause of which was ! flagrant misuse of our firm name and other gross misrepresentation by an imi tating company, which' was tried before his Honor, Ch'ef Justice J. Madden, K.C.M.G., L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed: — 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the eucalypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is much more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy. Some imitators have tried to deceive tho public by simulating our get-up; others have relied on the "just as good" game. Therefore take care and ootain the GENUINE SANDEK AND SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.

"I was badly scalded some months ago," writes Mrs Knight, storekeeper. Lutwyohe (Q), "and after trying many remedies gava up the idea of their giving me any relief. I was about to call in a doctor, when I remembered Chamberlain's Pain Balm was highly recommended for burns and soalds, and concluded to give it a trial.. The way it stopped the pain and reduced the inflammation and swelling in such a short time was really magical. This experience convinced me that it is a Bplendid liniment, and ever since I have been recommending it to my customers and friends." For °ale by T. G. Mason, Chemist Masterton.
