SAJNJDEW & »ou« Euca lypti Extract,



Then are imitations of Eucalypti Extract, ia tho market now, products of simple distillation forming Grade resicoua oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, aa the«r Information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 18/8, we It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifsvrald, Prussia, andreported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Farmaeology.atßon, and Professor Dr; Hosier. Director of the Medical Ohnic at Greihwald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed ot acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the aasativs qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities^ andaooording to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Bra. Bauer, Ulelntire, Wood, Hazard, *to,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one iirniob. possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUOALIPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgent odour— \ whioh our product, the only genuine i Eucalypti Extracts develops moat freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these- crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Yiotoria ; , Australia. SANBEK & SONS.
