Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinica and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE "EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the tyedical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Ciinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Groifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other subatancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope tho vanative qualities proper to tho plant \ll crude oils, or so called Euoalypti Extraots are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an nternal adicamenr. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent c'.O'^f— -which our product, the only £es»»ine Eucalypti Extraob develops most, freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin aad mokite appear- ance being reduced m. specific density . through the prescnoe qI acids. By their taste, the redviibofc the contracting tendency of resins bad tennates. If these crudji oils, Bocalled eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal | nfiamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
