O< AIMI>E« «Sc ssKmts £uca- O lypti Extract. Under the diatinguiahed patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister /or 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 tho Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crudo oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT] EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to oi 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 Clinics 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 Medical 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 sanative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentiner, whiah 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 w.hich our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin aad mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through tho presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resinc and tennates. If these crude oila, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronohitis, diphtheria, internal nflamatione, dysentery, etc., the c^c- sequences are most appalling.
