S__a_>J__>li_t. &, »ons -Euca- lypti Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majeßty tbe King of Italy, aa per 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, produota of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is tecognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pare origin, as per nformation forwarded to ua through tbe Coubul at Melbourne, Maroh 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 f Parmaeology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the. Medical Clinics at Greifßwald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other subetaocos, adherent to primary diatillalion, will develope the vaoative qualitiea proper to tho plant .11 crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to tho named authorities, among the turpentiner, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extrr.cb develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- — . .aiics beiug reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contractiog tendency of rosing and tennatee. If these crude oils, co- called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake iv. cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences arc most ar<pn!!*ng.
