In order that these crude oils may not be taken, Our Pure Volatile Euca« lyptt Extra**, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information f rwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — It is proved by testa made by the Medioial Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswal , Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that o«ly 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 EXTBACT according to these authorities, and aooor Ing to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, McTntire, Wood, Hazard, eto., of America, is the only extract correspondingto scientific teats, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used ag medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. The«e so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dlat nctbn at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible i— 1. By theirdeficiescy In pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops moat freely through its surplus of oxye ), 2. By their alcoholic th n and mobile nppearance, being reducai in specific density through the presence cf acid*. t. By their taet<\ tbe result of the contracting ten dency of resits and tennttes. If these crude oils, to cmUe 1 escalypti extracts are applied by mistake in ewes of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflaruKntions, dysentery, wounds, eto, the enscquences are most appalling.
