Under the diatinguiahed patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, aapcr communica- tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Cliuica of the Universities at Bonn and Grcifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mosßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed j>S resinous and other aubstanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tanative qualities proper to the plant 4.11 crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentine?, whish are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible t 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennateß. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, . internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most nrpalling.
