fa AJVDEII dc »ob»'Jßncwlyptl Kxtract Tliere are Imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oil*. In order that tbece crude oils may rot be taken, Oar Pure Volatile JEuca* typtl Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of tbe 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 tests made by the Medicinl Clinics of tbe Universities at Bonn and Oreifswal:, Prussia, and reported by Dr Bchulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Qreifswcl 1, that only products that are saturated v.ith oxygen and freed of arid*, resinous and other fralHtacccs, adherent to primary distillation, will develop tbe sanative qualities proper to the plant, SANDER it SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT according to these authorities, and accor ing to Pro feflfor Dr Lister, of England, and to Dra Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, et<\, cl America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one wbich possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the tur.i cntines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abn idoned as an internal medicament. The c so call d Eucalypti Extracts which may have received (list nctbn at Exhibitions »s pommercial articles and are used for mechanical pur coses only are discernible:— 1. By their deficiency in punpent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extrac de velops most fresly through its surplus of oxy • j ). 2. By their alcoholic th'n and mobile appearanco, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids 3. By their trsfce, the result of the contracting ten denCy of resins and ten nates. If those crude oils, to calle 1 eucalypti extracts ure applied by mistake in awes of croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wounde, etc., the cnsoquenceß ate most appalling. For safety sake ask always for larnter anal Bi»n>* Kncialvptl Mstrwct and get the old, well-tested and reliable. K<4PW«tiQ&,—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia,-
