SAP>iI>JR3* Sc S9OUS JBuca- lyptiExtract. , 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 m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that those 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 information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Moßßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of da resinous and other aubstanoos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or co called Eucalypti Extracts I are to be classed according to the named ! authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long; since as an. nternal udicament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specifics 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 eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequence i are most appalling.
