All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpeutinee, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nctbn *t Exhibitions »s pommerdal articles and are used for mechanical pur* coses only are discernible :— 1. By tlicir deficici cy in puneent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, de velops most frevly through its surplus of oxygen). 1 9. By their alcoholic th n and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of scids> I 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting ten dency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so callel eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in oasts of croup, bronchitis, diph- I thsria, internal inflamsutiong, dysentery, wound*, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
