In order that these c rude oils m»y not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTEACT, which is r cognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to VM through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— Is proved by tests by the Medical Clinic* of the Universities at Bonn and Greifewald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Farmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifewald, that only products that an saturated w^th oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, ad Cerent to primary dlstil'ation, will davekpe the sanative qualities proper to the plant according to these authorities, and according to Pro fessor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer McTutire, Woo', Hazard, etr\, of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tes-ts and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. Sander & h'oN's Eucalypti Extract. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used ss medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicameEt. Ihese so-called Bucalyiti Extracts whfch may have received distinction st Exhibition* at commercial articles are used for mechanical purpowa Ere only discernible. By their deficiency in jut gett oflour—which oar product, the only genu'ne Eucalypti Extracts developes most • ireely through its surplus of oxygen By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance befog reduced in specific density through the presence of acids By their taste, the result f f the contracting tea--. dency of jesins and tennatts. ■:. If these crude oi?s, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, ironctiti, diph theria, internal inflammations, dysentery, wrunds, ths consequences- are appalling.
