In ord<r that these crude oils rony rot be taken, Our Pnr« Volatile JEucw lyntl Kurart, which is rccognlged by the medical division of tte Prussian Government to be of jierfectly pure origfn, as per information f rwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It is proved by tests made by the Medicial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal , Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Irofess r Dr Moslr, Director of tte Medical Clinio at Greifswsl 1, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of aoids, resinous and other substances, adhen nt to primary distillation, w.H develop the sanative qualitif s proper to the plant. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to th< se authorities, and accor it g to Pro fewor Dr Lister, of England, and to Dra Bauer Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turf eutlnt-g, which have, when used as medicine, bo therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. Thc-c so calld Eucalypti Extract*!, which may have received dist nctbn st Exhibitions »s pommercial articles and are used for mechanical pur* coses only are discernible :— 1. By their deflciei cy in punrent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrao de velops most freely through its surplus of oxy i). 2. By their alcoholic th n and mobile appearance, being reduced in ipecifio density through tb.o presence of bcM* 3. By their taste, tbe result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennatcs. If these crude oils, to callei eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in dues of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflammation?, dysentery, woundp, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
