IF YOU HAVE A Oough, . Gold, Nose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUOALPYTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon of waZter. Remember, yon cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalpytus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other eucalyptus promots. These latter, made by persons ignorant of chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not know what they contain, have caused grevions harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do not n>plj - an ointment to a sore. It keeps hack the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns ulcers, eczema, and other Bkin troubles, apply Sander's Extract; 15 drops in a tablespoonful ■ of olive 00. The effect will surprise you. Sander's Extract heals because it is freed from the irrigating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparations. 14 heals wh<m others irritate- tnsili tipo T . th« Geoaine Sindw*.

MiOullen pointed, out that in. a. ciy.il case if the amount sued for were only twopence a. defendant had. the right to a clear seven days' service before the date of. hearing,, whereas- in a criminal action,, where 9 man's honour and good' name were at stake and perhaps a heavy line would be. imposed, a. summons could be served on him a few minutes before a case was to be heard.
