SAJSI>J£** Jte s*ons Euca- J lypti jfixtr act. I Under the distinguished patronage of Hia i Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- L] ■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 Olinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract > n the market, products of simple J distillation forming crude resinous oils. In ti order that these crude oils may not be taken, F OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI w EXTRACT, which is recognised by the p, medical division of the Prussian Government o j be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the n Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we g tate :-<- n It is proved by teats by the Medioal Clinics „ of the Universities at Bonn and Greifßwald, j> Prussia, and reported by Dr. Scbulz, Professor r of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. i Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at \ Greifswald, that only products that are y saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substances, adherent to . primary distillation, will develops the j •anative qualities proper to the plant \II crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which i are abandoned lonj? since as an nternal ; adioament. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : i IBy their deficiency m pungent odour — | which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely j through its Burplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- j ance being reduced m specifio density through the presenoe of acids. By theirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called euoalypt ! extracts, are applied by mistake m caßes of I oroup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal ■ nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
