In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURK VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the medioal division of the PrusslanGovernment be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Ooosal at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tato ;— It is proved by teats by the Medioal Clinioa of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohnlz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifawald, that only produota that are saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the wnative qualities proper to the plant \\\ crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extraots are to b© classed according to the named authorities, among the turpenoinee, whioh are abandoned long since as an nternal udioament. These crude oils, or bo called Encalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alooholio thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specifio density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the oontraoting tendency of resina and tennates. If these crude oilo, so-called euoalypt extraots, are applied by mistake m cases oi oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
