Under the distinguished patronage of Hit Majesty the King ot Italy, as prr communion- ion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs throuq'n the Onsui-General for Italy, at Melbourne, Maroh 14, 1878. Awarded diplom.a at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Olinios and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract thd market, products of aimpta distillation forming crude resinous oila. lv order that these ciude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EXJCAL'S PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per .information, forwarded to us through tha Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2. 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Boon and Grei f swald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sobolz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Diiector of the M«dical Clinics »t Greifswald, that on'y products that are ! saturated with oxygen and freed of da ! resinous aud other substaucoo, adherent to primary distillation, v ill develope the •Anative qualities proper to the p'anfc \llcrude oils, or so called Kncalypti Extracts are to he classed according to the named authorities, amoig the tut peu tines, which are abandon* rl lons' since as an nternal a'lioatnent . These crude oils, or so oalled i Buciilypti Extracts, are discernible : I 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 specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypfe extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal oflamations, dysentery, etc, the con. sequences are most appalling.
