Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to soientifio tests, and the only one which possesses fche proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI , EXTRACT., j All other crude oils ara to be clashed 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 ftsoommeroial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible.
