SAISIXEi* &, Moms Euca- lypti Extract IJnder the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as 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 Imilationß of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple disnillnt'on forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, 01/R PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the FrussianGovernment r>e of perfectly pure origin, as per u 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 Greifswald, l'rut Bia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Profeaßor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other aubatancoe, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the tunative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so callod Euoalypti Extraots | are to be olassed according to the named : authorities, among the turpentines, 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 Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specifio density through the preßenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc, the con- sequences are most appalling.
