Sander & Son's Eucalypti Extract. AH 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 Extracts which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only ■discernible. By their deficiency m rut gent odour—which out product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts, developes moat lreely through its surplus of ""* oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids By their taste, the result cf the contracting ten dency of tesins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucaljpti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, rronchiti ■, diph theria, in'ernal inflammations, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are appalling. For safety, always ask for SANDKR & SoJN'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, aud get the old, well-test;d, aud reliable preparation, —fandliurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDER AND SONS. In a recent letter to the manufacturers Mr VY- F. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Rushford, N. V., says : "It may baa plea sure to you to know the high esteem m which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own State, where they must be beat known. An auiit cf mine, who resides at Dexter, lowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quantity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicine* referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame bacW, pains m the side and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhce* Remedy for bowel complaints. These medicines have been m constant use m lowa for a'mosfc a quarter of a century. The people have learned that they are articles of great worth and merit, and unequalled by any other.
