SANDEK Sc ssons JE ca> lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- •ion 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 tbe market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTEACT, 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 Clinica of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor f Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant \llorude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts Ara to ba classed according to the named authorities, among tbe turpeuti.nee, which are abandoned long Bince m an nternal adicamenf. These crude oils. Or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, axe discernible : 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 presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypb extracts, are applied by mistake m oases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal oflamations, dysentery, etc., tbe con- sequences are most appalling.
