In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile l!nc». lyptf Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It is proved by tests made by the Medicinl Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal , Prussia, and reported by Dr Schuli, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at GreifswalJ, 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, SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to these authorities, and accor ing to Pro ftesor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and tho only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils art to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. There so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received diet nctfou at Exhibitions as ponmercial articles and are used for mechanical pur coses only are discernible :— 1. By their deficiency m pungent odour (which our product, tho only genuine Eucalypti Extract, de velops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 3. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced m ipecifle density through the presence of acid* 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these erode oils, m> callei eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake m turn of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflanMMrtione, dysentery, wound?, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
