PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of 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. Sohulz.Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medioal Clinics ab Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygea and freed of reainoua and other substancos, adherent to. primary distillation, will develope the •anative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts 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 in pungent odour— Bvhich our product, the only genuine gy Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear* ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taate, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationß, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
