SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oila are to be clashed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned aa an internal medicament. (These BO»ca!led Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible, v By their deficiency in pundgent odonr— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops mo3t 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 taate, the result of the contracting tendency of rosins 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.
