lypti Extract. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. Iv order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUB PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as theii information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we utate:— It proved by tests by the Medical Olinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Pruslia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greif«wald, that only products that ari saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Dr«. B»aer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, ia the only extract correspond ing to scientific teßts, and the only one which possesses tha proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, wheD used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. Thß3e 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— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops moit 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 oilb, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of •roup, 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 reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER & SONS. "
