In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRAC 11,I 1, which is recognised by Ihe medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as theii information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It proved by tests by the Medical Ciinics of the Universities at Bonn and Grdf'swalrf, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that art: saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinoua and *ither substanco?, adherent tn primary distillation, will develope the Banative qualities proper to the p'aut according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. LUter, of England, and to Drs. B«uer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, iB the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, whec used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned &a an internal medicament. These 80-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical Supposes are only discernible. iy their deficiency in pundgent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops mo3t freely through ita surplus of oxygeD. 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 theae 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 aek for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliablepreparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEK & SONS.
