Bander & Son's Eucalypti Extract All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which hnve, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an interna medicament. Theae so called Eucalypti Extracts which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as ommerciel articles are used for mechanical pnr- oses are only discernible.: — By their deficiency In pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Bucalypti Extraots de> velopes most freely through its surplus of oxygen) fly their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reouoed in specific density through the cresenoe of acids By their taste, the result of th contracting ten dency of reel is and tennates. if these crude oil*, bo called eucalypti extraots are applied by mistake in cases o croup, bronchitis, diph theria, internal infammations, dysentery, wounds, th- consequences are appalling For safety always ask fo bakdbr and son^s Eucalypti Extract andee the old, wall-tea ' ed and reliable preparation.— Sand burst, Victoria, Australia.
