SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI 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— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygeu. 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 contractiug tendency of rosins and tenrmtes. If these etude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are at.p^lhng. ior safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, andreliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. ™^ T -, SANDBK & SONS.
