SAKDIsJw Ac snouts Kuca- l.vj>ti jfC-xtraot. Under the distinguished patronage of His JVlajesty the King of Italy, as per communica- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at fehe Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinicß and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market., products of simple distillation forming crude resinouß oils. In order that, theße crude oils may not be taken, OUR 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 ub through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— [ It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinioa of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz.Professor jof Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; j Moaejer, Director of the Medioal Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are ■saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other aubßtanooß, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vunative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as An nternal ' adicament. These crude oils, or so oalled Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By^ their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m epeoifio density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the oontraoting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypfa extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
