Coumil at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state : — It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of ihe Universities at Bonu and Grrifswald, | Prussia, and te^oited by Dr. Fehuiz.Professor , of Parmucology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moaler, Diieotor of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and < ther substance;?, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the pant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All ttther crude oils are to be clapped among the turpentines, which have, when ueed as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned aa an internal medicament. These 10-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 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, Victoria, Australia. SANDEK & SONS. PuHie Notices.
