SAIMT>E{< «8t »ons £nca> lypti xCxtrnot. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty 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 the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. Id order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCAI^ PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, a? per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It ib proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greil'swald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Hchulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mbasier, Director of the Medical Cliuics at Greifswald, that on'y products that are ■saturated with oxygen and freed of reamous and other substaucog, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the -.anative qualities proper to the plant \ll crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extract* are to be classed according to the Darned authorities, among the turpentine?, which are abandoned long siuce as an nlernal adicatnent. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible) : 1 By their deficiency m puogent odour — which our product-, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taate, the result of the contracting tendency of resins- and tenuates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m. cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
