Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, as per oommunica- 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 Euoalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUOALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per n formation 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 Greifßwald, Pruesia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Profeas.^r of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that an eaturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other eubstarcos, adherent tf= primary distillation, will devolope the vanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so ca'.lcU Eucalypti Extr^cte are to be classed according to the n-imefl authorities, among the turpentince, which are abandoned ions' since as aa nte;nal adicatnent. These crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : ! 1 By their deficiency m pungent odonr — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its Burplna oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the preeenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called encalyp 1 extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
